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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

This country is unbelievable!

I came from Cali to help you with Niky's leaving and look what happens.

The city gave you a great welcome.

When are we going to have a newspaper that publishes good news only?

Let's concentrate on Angela's birthday, okay?

That's why are together.

Sweetie, did you tell grandpa what you want for tonight?

I want a birthday cake!

Sweetie, I'll get you the most delicious birthday cake in town.

And I'll give you a present, okay?

- Grandpa! - Yes?

Why did they kill colonel Jiménez?

Come here. Let's go watch The Flintstones.

I was at the DAI facilities talking to one of the artists.

I gave him my version and he made two facial composites.

It's strange that those men were at the school,

looking for colonel Jiménez's house.

I think they're the ones who killed him.

And what do you suggest?

Well, putting an ad. Advertise it, investigate it.

Aristides, I can't put an ad on national TV

saying we are looking for two guys who infiltrated a police school.

But we can start by doing that, general.

The community can help us investigate, try to relate them--

No, major!

What we need is evidence of the murderers,

not of a couple of guys that are making a fool of ourselves.

We need conclusive evidence,

and we need it now, major.

I have a question for you.

Do you think your wife is intelligent?

Of course, Patty. Intelligent and brave!

Really?

And you think your wife isn't aware of all what you do?

I'm not going to talk about a moral problem.

We all know what's good, what's bad and what's a sin.

I'm talking about a political problem.

Do you think that killing policemen is smart?

What?

- What are you saying? - What you've heard.

Killing policemen?

Who told you I'm killing policemen?

- C'mon, Pablo. - You're making a serious accusation.

And you are doing it in my house!

- Okay, stop. - Do you have evidence to accuse me?

I'm just a stupid woman who doesn't understand anything.

A stupid wife who can't understand a thing!

Accusing your husband is stupid!

- Don't yell! The baby is here. - You'd respect the house too!

Not in my own house. Get out of here.

There are no words to describe the personal attributes

and professional accomplishments of Colonel Jairo Jimenez.

An exceptional husband and father.

As you all know, he was studying to get his promotion to general.

An officer committed to his work, to the community,

decorated by the DEA for his fight against drug-trafficking in this country.

An attitude that led him to get his most important achievements

at the Anti-Drug Division.

Achievements that unfortunately,

thanks to criminal minds,

ended up killing him and his security staff.

Are you crazy, brother? What's going on?

What are you doing here, man?

- Nothing. - Why are you running like that?

- No, no, it's nothing. - The cops or what?

No. They sent me to watch.

To watch? No, get in!

C'mon, get in!

The party is in there! Are you going to walk?

C'mon, c'mon!

Come, we are in a hurry!

Do you want to smoke some more or what?

What's up with this guy? He scared us or what?

I almost killed him. I almost killed him.

Okay, go ahead, son.

You can't imagine the scare he gave us, brother.

We though the whole police had trespassed.

What do you mean? I don't understand, Ramada.

We were going down the road as usual

and this young man comes out of nowhere running like mad.

We got scared and almost hit him.

Well, In the end, it would had been the same.

If it had been the police, you wouldn't have had to worry,

because they are after me, but only to ask me for money.

If that was not so, it wouldn't be the police.

I'm very glad to have you two in my house again.

I mean it. Who told you? Marcos?

Yes, he said we couldn't miss it.

That the whole Medellin Cartel was going to be here.

Yes, sir! Great! Make yourselves at home.

The show will start any minute now, and it's going to be good.

- Thank you very much. - You are always welcome.

If you need anything, just say the word.

What's up, old man?

How is it going?

How are you?

I knew you wouldn't fail me. You are the best.

Let's get this party started! Come on, guys!

Bummer.

It's so hard to prevent children from finding out

what happens in the country.

Did you see Adelaida's horror face when she saw the picture

on the newspaper's front page?

Of course.

What kind of country are we leaving to our children?

No, not us. The assassins in this country.

Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

I'm glad you don't mention him on the paper.

Despite the whole country knows he murdered Jiménez.

It's best not to.

I'm going to publish it in the next days.

- Listen, you don't have evidence. - I don't, but I should publish it.

And let the State find the evidence. That's how it should be.

Yes, and get a defamation suit. Or be threatened.

I know you want to do it as a journalist,

but you must know your limits.

Pablo Escobar killed a colonel. What kind of limits are those?

I'm telling you this for you to prevent legal problems, okay?

You can accuse them, but do it tacitly, don't give names.

Fine.

- Okay. Good day. - Bye.

Goodbye.

Listen, Pablo, I thank you for the job.

But I wanted to apologize

for all my nagging with that cop.

Don't worry, Marcos. On the contrary.

Enjoy the party instead. It's for you, too.

Thank you very much, Pablo, but I want to kiss and hug you.

Come here.

The only boss of bosses is Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria!

Thank you very much.

Anyway, boys.

I think that getting rid of that cop was good

because he was breathing down our necks.

But I think this will bring us many problems.

The government has two options.

They stop bothering with the extradition, or they come at us.

I'm sorry, man.

I think that after seeing

a dead colonel of the army,

people won't want to risk their lives, Pablo.

Let's hope so, because if they insist, they'll die.

Chili and Mole demonstrated they are professionals.

They did a very clean job and left no traces at all.

- That's right. - Sure.

Major, major!

Aristides speaking.

We found clues on the Colonel's crime.

In what area?

El Consuelo Neighborhood.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

Rendón, get the car ready. We are leaving.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. How are you?

Mrs. Patty, how are you?

- How are you? - Not so good, you know?

I have a question. Who brought the hoes?

- The what? Hoes? - What's that?

Whores, cousin!

Mrs. Patty, with all due respect, don't call them that.

All the women in here are my cousins.

I'm sorry for Patty, but anyway.

Gentlemen.

What do we have?

Major, the man saw the car we're looking for parked in here.

- Did you see the occupants? - Yes, sir.

Gómez.

Yes, it's them.

Open.

Hey, Mole, check this out.

- These girls are for us. - Hi there.

Don't touch me, fool.

What's the matter with you?

Chill, man. I'll bring you boys next time.

What's your name again?

Jorge.

Why do you look so bored or upset?

Hey, man! What's up, you flirt?

I need to talk to you, brother.

Leave us alone.

She stays. Come.

Chill, man. Relax.

You know what? Let's take a walk,

have some aguardiente. See the horses.

The horses? Listen to this guy.

Are you a queer? If you have something to tell me,

do it right here.

Take the gloves off, okay?

I'm just trying to smooth things over with you, okay?

- Oh yeah? - Yes.

You know what?

I won't smooth anything with anyone.

That's enough.

- What's wrong with you? - Enough.

Enough. Go away, okay?

Relax. You are with me, okay?

Hey, what do you have for me?

This is excellent.

You know what? I'd change the title.

A photo for the caption title. What do you think?

That's a great image, yes!

- It's great, isn't it? - Very good.

Make three captions, It'll go on the front page.

Perfect, sir. Of course.

Yes?

Just one question.

Is it true that this will be tomorrow's editorial?

Yes, why? Something wrong?

About politics?

I thought you were going to continue with the line of colonel Jiménez.

His funeral is tomorrow.

Yes, I know. But no.

I decided to write about something else.

I don't want to grant more importance to the Medellin Cartel.

What's happening, dad?

What's wrong?

Am I not “Don Guille” anymore or what?

I'm not talking to my boss, to the director of this newspaper,

I'm talking to my father.

I know you.

What's going on?

It's only an editorial. There is nothing wrong, Juangui.

You better hurry with the rest of the stuff

because we are about to close.

"The country at the mercy of the Medellin Cartel."

No, sir! Listen! I won't tolerate this.

This is my house and I don't want those women in here, Pablo.

- Period! - Listen to me, will you?

Tomorrow I'll give you all the explanations you want.

I'll try to get all those stupid ideas out of your head.

I'm only asking you to let me enjoy my party.

- Okay! So-- - Just leave me alone today!

Okay, tomorrow.

Do you know what else we will discuss? Your attitude.

Have you realized how you're talking to me?

I'm not your maid, Pablo.

I'm your wife and you shouldn't talk to me like that.

How would you like me to talk to you, ma'am?

Patico, my beautiful princess,

when the sun rises, you and I will sit and discuss our problems.

Can I go to my party now?

Pablo...

You're making a mistake.

Mom, please. This is between my wife and me.

Have some respect, please.

Yes, sir. You're right.

This is your discussion and your problem.

I'm talking about something else.

I'm talking about your war against the State.

You are enraging the government, the citizens.

That isn't right, Pablo.

I understand you feel powerful and know you're powerful.

I can understand that. You're powerful.

But there's something I want to tell you, Pablo.

No one,

listen to me, no one,

not even you with all your money and power

can win a war with the State.

You may win a battle, but not the war.

All right, fine.

Could you stop adding vinegar to this soup, mother? Please!

Can we talk about this tomorrow? We'll talk politics, anything you want.

I'm just asking you to let me go take care of my guests, please.

Right, can't you see we're celebrating the murder

of the colonel, Mrs. Enelia?

What murder? For God's sake.

Respect my house, my mother and my guests.

I'm fed up of you and your accusations!

That's not how you--

Pablo Emilio,

this is the last time you talk to me using that tone,

and that you talk to me like that.

Look at me, Pablo Emilio.

Do me the favor.

Make it the last time, Pablo. Don't treat me like that.

All right?

Excuse me.

Attention please.

Bad news keeps flooding the country.

A few hours ago, the dead bodies of two police officers were found.

According to the investigation were kidnapped, tortured and murdered

by the same killers of Colonel Jairo Jiménez.

Have you seen them?

Yes, they were in this car. They looked like peasants.

They were asking about the house of colonel Jiménez's brother.

It's them.

Sergeant Gómez.

Sergeant Gómez, over.

Hey, buddy.

Go get me a drink.

Go.

Come on.

How are you, darling?

- How are you doing? - Just dancing.

Dancing, huh?

Dancing time is over, honey. You're coming to the bedroom with me.

I'll get you a drink.

Come on now.

Hey, what's up, dude?

Did they steal your chick or what?

What a sad life. The damn snitch again.

Watch it, brother.

That guy Herber is crazy as hell.

Oh yeah?

Why don't you just tell me you want to kill me?

Kill you?

Listen to me, brother. I'm a peaceful man.

You feel me?

Oh yeah?

Then leave me alone.

What a crazy snitch.

Yummy.

Pour me a drink, will you?

Here.

Drink it.

Bottoms up.

You liked that? Do you want some blow?

No.

I don't do that.

- No. - No what?

I've never tried that stuff.

Listen, honey, Americans die for this white powder.

The Beatles' elixir.

- Damn it, who's knocking? - I got this.

Who is it?

What do you want?

Marcos...

Can I have some blow?

You're too drunk, buddy.

Girl, give me that. Drugs are to be shared.

This?

Yes, Holy Mary.

Will this be enough for you, dude?

Take it.

Leave by the door what you don't use. And don't bother me anymore, okay?

Jesus Christ.

Guys, Jorge has to go to sleep early today, you're in?

Marino, we already did our job.

Why do you think we are celebrating?

Because we did our job.

It's your turn now, man.

That's your job.

You need our help?

Why do you need our help, son?

The boss wants that job to be done tonight.

And it has to be done carefully because Mrs. Patty

and the children are in here.

What do you say?

- What? - What do we have to do?

I need this guy to go to sleep early.

No.

You got it covered, dude.

And be careful, the guy is a karate expert.

Regina.

How are you doing? Do you have a minute?

I need for us to talk about Pablo Escobar.

I stopped being friends with that man a long time ago.

I don't know how to help you really.

Maybe you can, maybe not.

We're putting up an operation at Hacienda Nápoles

and you know that place better than anyone else.

So?

I need you to come with me and be my guide.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry, that's not my job.

Let's see.

Don't worry about your safety.

I'm not worried, I just won't go to that place.

And then?

I can draw you a map, that's all.

A map.

Is there a place we can talk? A map won't help me much.

- Come with me. - I need the main house,

the sentry boxes.

- What happened? - Huh?

What happened with the party?

I've had enough.

- Let them enjoy it. - Are you going to sleep?

Yes.

Look, here is your pajama.

Thanks.

Are you still angry?

Weren't you the angry one?

Look at me.

You were the one angry, not me.

- Am I right? - I'm not anymore.

All right.

No, dad!

Kill me!

Kill me, man.

My father was killed because of me.

It was my fault.

Gonzalo, dear, don't say that.

Why, mom? That's the truth.

No.

Come.

Get in the bed, come.

No way!

What is it now?

Damn it.

What is it, man?

The blow didn't work for you?

Marcela, honey,

I need to talk to you, okay?

Beat it! Don't get in more trouble!

Go!

Can't you see I'm with her, jerk?

You can choose whoever you want.

You won't humiliate me. I have money too.

Is my money worthless or what?

No! What are you doing?

What happened?

Don Marcos, what happened?

Put that rifle down. Relax, it's okay.

What happened, Don Marcos?

This madman shot him, can't you see it?

Did you say mad?

Raving mad, because I'll teach you how to respect people.

Easy, easy, Don Marcos. It was just a comment.

Don't be an idiot!

Marcos!

That's enough.

What happened?

What's going on here?

Boss, Don Marcos was in the room with the girl.

This guy came to bother him and he got shot.

This happened for trusting these dogs, Pablo.

- Cheeky jerks! - Let's go, boys.

Let's go.

Get them out of here!

- Boss-- - Do as you are told, Chili.

You and I will talk later.

- But boss, but this man-- - Later!

- Later. - Chili, Chili, Chili!

Look at me.

Relax, man. Let's go.

Listen, boys, you have to understand

that under no circumstances you disrespect a boss.

Disrespect, boss? You know me.

I've been working for you for years and you know I'm a gentleman.

All I did was calling him "mad".

And you have to be mad to shoot people while you are at a party.

Chili, you have to understand that Jorge disrespected Marcos.

He invaded Marcos' privacy by getting inside the room by force.

That's disrespecting the boss too.

Yes, we understand that, boss.

But why did he point that rifle at us?

Why do you have to be so damn melodramatic, Mole?

Shit happens.

Marcos was feeling the adrenaline.

Do you think he could attempt against two of my best men?

- Do you? - He was going to kill us, boss!

Pablo!

What?

The cops are here, man.

What do you mean the cops got in? How come?

We've been informed the cops are coming in.

Sorry, but I have to go. It got hot.

Wait, Mariachi.

Here's what we'll do. Take care of the body, clean it up.

Ask Marino to help you.

Hey, Mole, Ask Cepillo to empty the cave.

- So? - So what?

- Let's do this. - All right.

Hey, wait a minute. What's this, man?

Good evening.

I'm Major Aristides, I have a search warrant for this house.

Hello there.

Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria.

Major, would you let me see that search warrant?

Thank you.

All right, brother.

- Give me a hand with this. - Let's move it.

Go ahead, Chili, move!

Let's lift this guy.

- What do you say, Gonzalo? - I have never seen anything like it.

Aristides you said?

Yes.

How do we know if this is legal, Major Aristides?

Because I'm giving it to you.

Well, I guess I'll have to trust the authorities of this country.

If I may.

I introduce my partner and cousin, Mr. Gonzalo Gaviria.

My wife. Come, honey.

Good evening.

Major Aristides, Patricia, my wife.

How are you, guys?

Will you let me in or will I have to accuse you of obstruction of justice?

No, major, we aren't obstructing the justice, on the contrary.

But before you get inside the house, I would like to know

who told you where, and how to find us.

Mr. Escobar, I have a search warrant. The rest is none of your business.

Come on.

Be careful.

Don't worry, don't worry.

- What is going on, honey? - Everything's fine.

This cake for your sister is going to be delicious.

- Start stirring it now. - You forgot about the cake?

How can you say that?

I'm an excellent chef. I'm the pride of Paris.

Yes, sure. And you love cooking.

I hope it's delicious and ready before Angela gets here.

The oven is at 400 degrees. Hour and a half.

I know everything.

I bet. Help him, little girl.

- Grandpa! - Yes?

My father says the whole country knows what you think, but that's impossible.

Your dad meant that, since I write in the newspaper,

people read me and know what my opinion is, what I think.

Did you give your opinion about the death of the colonel?

Yes. I said I thought that was a very bad thing to do, sweetie.

Did you say that the ones who killed him should go to jail

because they made his family suffer?

Yes, sweetie, I said it.

Go on, keep working on this.

I'll put butter on the mold so the cake doesn't stick.

Very well.

A police colonel was murdered and you are having a party.

What does that have to do with me?

That's a strange and sad coincidence

because my partner and I planned this party a long time ago.

May I know what you are celebrating?

We are celebrating the birthday of one of our employees

and that's why we invited his family members.

Why are you lying?

You know that the order to kill colonel Jiménez came from this ranch.

Is that your personal opinion or a direct accusation against me?

You know I'm right.

I expect you have the evidence to make such a serious accusation against me.

We're working on it.

Upstairs, to the right in the studio.

Would you like to go to the bathroom too?

Slowly!

Did he say studio, honey? Has that man been here before?

He entered like if he owned the place.

You are wasting your time, Major. You won't find anything at all in there.

Let me make a call and we'll see how we are going to solve this.

To whom?

To a journalist friend to explain to me what is happening here.

Yes, yes, because it is awful to have the police inside our house all the time.

Let me call him. You take care of the guests.

Too bad, Major.

Chili, what are you planning to do to Herber?

Get even.

He may be a boss but he has no right to threaten us.

Count on me, okay?

Let's go!
