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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

Jesus, guys.

Marcos Herber in prison in the U.S.

They definitely caught us off guard.

You went straight for them, Pablo.

- What do you complain about? - Who would have said it?

Extradition still hasn't been approved and they still extradited him.

That's the result of a rotten government,

a corrupt government that violates all international treaties

with impunity without respecting its citizens' fundamental rights.

What the hell are you talking about?

What did you expect?

After the death of Colonel Jiménez

and Cano's murder, the journalist,

it's the least people want, right? To strike back.

This isn't that, Fabio.

This is a petty and unfair revenge.

They expect us to be a bit happy about this or something?

Yeah, but we aren't.

At least we know justice was made.

Not entirely.

Marcos Herber wasn't the only one responsible for Dad's death.

Look, Juangui, not even knowing the entire Medellin Cartel

is locked up in an American prison will bring Dad back.

That's true, but I'd like to know Dad's killers aren't free in Colombia

without worrying about anything.

All we can do is trust the government will go after the rest.

Are they going to extradite them?

That's what I'd like to know.

We still have to be adamant about what we said.

Rather a death in Colombia than prison in the U.S.

What good is that, man?

One of us is there already.

Do you know what happens to the code of silence there?

It doesn't exist at all. Everybody there talks, man.

That's the difference between the Italian mafia and us.

As soon as the U.S. government sentences Herber to life,

he'll testify against us.

Don't you find it odd the way the caught Herber?

Yeah, right?

I think so too, Pablo.

How could they get to his house without the security ring noticing.

That's bullshit, he was sold out.

Listen, man. You need to be on your toes

because we've got a snitch, I'm sure!

No, guys, you don't know what you're saying.

What happened was that an honest citizen told the police

there were a group of drug addicted homosexuals in his neighborhood,

and the police just went to see what was going on.

And that's how they found Marcos Herber.

That doesn't matter now.

It's over now, there's nothing we can do.

The truth is that if they are extraditing citizens illegally

they can very well do it to not just one, but two, three or as many as they want.

You know what sucks, guys?

That that's bad for us.

You know Marcos Herber.

He's a paranoid drug addict, he's going to talk.

And that wouldn't be good for any of us.

If we get caught, we'll never see the light of day again.

That's why, Crisanto. Your name is similar to Christ's.

You have to get close to God while you're here.

If you want, I can lend you God's word so you can find

the peace and love you need.

Listen to this guy, he'll end up converting every inmate.

He's been doing it ever since he was a kid.

That said, he loves pulling the trigger, right, man?

And the Lord said: "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh

but have divine power to destroy strongholds."

Did you guys talk to the boss?

Not really, we have to wait a while since we just got here.

Right.

Anyway, if you do talk to him, tell him I can help you in here.

That I'm loyal!

And that...

Good, I'll tell him.

Say, Kiko, what about us?

How long will our sentence be for the terrible crime of being guards?

How can I explain this to you?

Don't you see they found drugs in the toilets?

You know what that means?

That we're staying a while.

What? You were caught with drugs?

Then it's like he says.

You'll at least get five years.

Five, five years? You said it'd be six months, Kiko!

Why would I say that?

Don't look so surprised, I told you.

I told you we have to wait and see what the boss says.

Have some faith.

Hey!

You seem relaxed.

Aren't you joining me?

- No, honey, I'm not. - Come on.

Come be with me.

You're shameless. Your mother is here.

So what? Send her to bed, it's late.

Yeah, right, what if she looks out?

So what?

I need to talk to you.

Then talk.

Your associate has just been extradited.

I need you to promise me that won't happen to you.

It won't.

I promise, I...

I'll never let them take me to the U.S. and away from my family.

Swear it.

I swear it on the Holy Child of Atocha.

You want to know what I'd do before they extradite me?

I'll shoot myself right here.

What did we say?

I'm sorry.

Come on, get in!

- No, baby. - Don't play hard to get.

- You either get in or I make you. - No way.

Don't, wait, Pablo!

HOMESTEAD MILITARY BASE, FLORIDA

Is the government acting correctly by extraditing a Colombian citizen

when there is no extradition treaty with the U.S.?

Mr. Herber's extradition had already been approved

by the Supreme Court of Justice and the President at that time.

But how can a citizen be extradited when there is no treaty?

It had all been done previously.

That means you can extradite Colombians without a treaty?

Well, in Marcos Herber's case,

it had already been authorized by the Supreme Court, it was fine.

Mr. President, I understand the government's position

and I myself am not against it,

but this poses a serious question.

Will the government continue to extradite Colombian citizens?

Can you believe Colombian justice?

Getting such a sentence for nothing!

I know.

If we'd killed Mr. Marcos, we would have gotten less time.

We don't have visitors, man, so I'm going to work.

- I'm going in. - Go for it.

- Halleluiah! - Halleluiah!

- Halleluiah, brothers! - Halleluiah!

- Good afternoon, brothers. - Hello!

Yesterday I talked to Diego Jiménez and Eduardo Carabajal

and they told me they were sad,

suffering because they were serving a sentence!

I tell you, brothers, we're not serving anything here!

We're here to be freed, brothers!

- Halleluiah! - Halleluiah!

Yes, guys, we have to be freed.

By what? Our faith, brothers!

So says Saint Marcus, chapter 13, verse 25, open your Bibles!

It says: "And the stars will be falling from heaven,

and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power.

Then He will send forth his angels and will gather His elected

from the four winds"!

- Chili! - Chili!

This is beautiful, man!

MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON TAMPA, FLORIDA

Good morning, boss, want some-- Relax, boss.

Who were you talking to?

I was talking with a guy 50 miles away in the security ring, Mr. Marcos.

It was a test call.

That's good work.

I like it, man.

You know what, Herber? Someone sold you out.

All right, Mr. Herber, we'll talk about Pablo Escobar now.

- Thanks. - No problem.

- Hi, man. - Hi, Mr. Gildardo, how are you?

What's up, everything good?

Yes, sir, I'm good.

Hello?

Dear old Pedro, how are things in Medellin?

Gildardo!

Jesus Christ, this is either a miracle or you need a favor.

I want to take this opportunity to remind the country

that my first order to General Ulloa was to continue our battle

against this country's drug traffickers.

Now that we can extradite them to the U.S. without the need for a treaty,

it's the government's priority to catch the heads of the Medellin Cartel.

They better stop thinking they can run and hide

and then be tried in Colombia, for their convenience. That's right!

Just like Marcos Herber, all of those criminals will end up

in a prison in the U.S.!

It's Colonel Pedregal, boss.

Thanks.

Colonel.

I'll soon arrive at your house with 50 men.

50, got it?

What? 50 men?

It's not my fault you postpone things, that's your problem.

How far are they?

Look, if you don't leave now, you'll face the consequences.

They should be here in about 23 to 24 minutes.

So start telling everybody to get ready to go.

Yes, excuse me.

Chili!

Yes, sir?

- This thing needs new batteries. - Sure thing.

Don't break anything.

Move it, dear.

Come on, move, we've got to go. That's the last truck.

Boss.

Thank you.

- You threw away the old batteries? - Yes, sir.

Good, thanks, man!

Pablo! They're destroying my pictures.

It's not fair, can't they be careful?

No way, Patico. It was the first thing I told them.

Really? They sure listened to you.

What are you doing?

Changing this radio's batteries.

Are the kids ready?

Don't forget their toys!

Here, I'll take that.

Thank you, you can go.

Who's the cutie coming with mom?

- Daddy! - Who's my sweetheart?

Go get in the car.

Move, Emilio!

Come on.

I don't want to leave.

This is my house, Pablo.

I know, I know, Paty, but you have to remain calm.

We'll be very comfortable in the new building we'll go.

There's a pool for the kids and...

It's terrible. You'll live in the first floor,

I on the second, Emilio in the third or what?

It's not like that, Patico. Once we get there, you arrange things

the way you want, okay? Don't cry, you'll upset the kids

and I don't want that, okay?

- I hate you. - It's just a move.

I really don't understand why we can't get results, Pedregal.

We're ready, General. We're proceeding with the mission.

You're telling me you set up an operation and you're in your office?

Get out there!

No, sir, I was on my way out, I just came back to answer your call.

Go right now! Who are you getting today?

We'll see if we can catch Pablo Escobar.

We've found his house.

We'll see, we'll see?

You will catch him! Him and the rest!

We need to strike hard! Let them know we're after them!

We will, sir!

Hey, Mole.

Why don't you help Patico with the kids' things?

She's taking too long and we'll never leave.

- You got it, boss. - Go, thanks.

Go, go, quickly!

Go, go! Quickly, move!

Quickly, move!

The boss said we have to go, ma'am.

I know, but I can't leave my things all messy.

It's dangerous, ma'am, we have to go.

I know. Do me a favor, kid, get me my purse.

Look, the cops are coming, we need to hurry.

Hold on, I'll do it, thanks.

Leave it!

What happened? Did you break it?

Forgive him, sir, he doesn't know what he's doing.

Throw away that picture right now. If Mrs. Patricia knows about this,

I won't hear the end of it, go!

- Yes, sir. - Go!

Here, shepherd, put this in the car.

- The Child of Atocha. - Don't scratch it!

No way, boss.

- Where's my bike, Dad? - Your bike?

- Here it is! - There's your bike.

Pato!

I'm coming!

Hurry up, honey.

You don't need to shout.

Come on, honey, we have to go.

Don't rush me!

Careful with that.

What about the pony, shepherd?

We can't leave it here. Put it with the mattresses.

Help me out, man.

Let your sister by the window, Emilio!

Stop, stop.

Cut it out, Emilio, God.

Come on, hurry up! They'll know we're coming for them.

Cut it out, give me the girl.

- Here. - Hurry up.

That damn Colonel told me the truth.

Go, go.

What Colonel?

It's nothing, son, relax.

This is terrible, terrible!

How does it work? I'm getting killed, kid.

This one shoots, this one throws bombs

and move with this one.

- With which one do I kill them, this one? - Yeah.

Having fun, Correa?

This thing is amazing, Pablo. Where did you get it? I want one.

I've got good contacts.

This gift is crap.

Crap? Watch your mouth!

If you say that in front of your mom, I'll get in deep shit, you idiot.

That's enough for today.

Go be with your guests, Emilio.

Play with your friends or the horse, go have fun!

- Go, kid. - Come with me, Correa, we need to talk.

Let's go.

- That horse is beautiful, Pablo. - It is.

Congratulations, Pablo...

A drunkard was peeing by a tree.

The cops show up and say:

"That's nice!"

And he says: "And look at its color!"

That's a terrible joke.

Where did you find this guy? Get out of here!

It wasn't that bad, Mariachi!

Bye, man.

I know a good one, Mariachi.

He'll tell one!

If I don't like it, I'll kill you.

Relax, man.

Don't let Marcia hear it.

What are the two worst things about a mother-in-law?

What?

Her faces.

God.

It was good!

I liked it, man, I liked it.

- It was good, right? - It was.

- Isn't he pretty? - Great job, Mrs. Paty.

This party is amazing, right? - Yeah!

Don't call me Mrs. Paty, Marcia.

Can you believe her? I'm your age!

And a lovely son!

How old is he now?

Ten great years.

Yeah, honey, I'm sure they were!

My husband and I've been trying to have a baby for some time now.

Yeah, having a family, see them run around,

but, just between us, I just won't get pregnant.

I have the solution for that.

Just wear a school girl skirt and you'll see he won't get off you.

I'm serious! You'll see you'll get pregnant.

Could it be a cold? Some rosemary hot baths would cure it.

- You think so? - Yeah.

What about you? What are you waiting for?

- God, no. - Yeah, right, her?

I don't mind waiting. If I have a kid as chatty as Hernán,

those two will drive me crazy. I can handle one, but not two!

Okay, let's get serious. This is a very important meeting.

I think it's time to start.

In that case, Pablo, don't you think

having these meetings after what happened to Herber

is very dangerous?

It is, Germán, but don't worry, we still have the cops on our payroll.

Besides, we made sure to set up an impenetrable security ring.

So don't worry about that.

But this is the last time we'll all meet.

So, let's make the most out of this.

With our friend Marcos Herber in the U.S., things look bad.

Now, the government can extradite without a treaty.

That means they'll really come after us now.

I guess that's why we're here.

To decide what our next move will be.

I've been thinking, Ramada, and I think we shouldn't add

more casualties to this war right now.

I think that's very wise.

All we're doing by killing important people

is making the people hate us.

And that's the last thing we need now.

Precisely.

So, since the Mariachi and I are the ones who've spent

the most money on this war,

we think it's time every one of you chipped in.

That's not a problem, Pablo.

You just say the word and we'll put the money, right?

We'll fund our next move.

Thank you, Arellano.

Mariachi and Gonzalo decided we should ask

for a modest donation of half a million dollars each.

Half a million, Pablo?

We can make it a million then.

If you're not doing well, you can join the comedian down there.

No, no, half a million is fine.

You stingy bastard! You're just like Gonzalo!

What? Why would you say that?

That's crap, Pablo.

Geez, what's so funny?

You're stingier than Scrooge McDuck!

You know what? Sometimes I'd like to be invisible.

Really, to go where the men are!

And listen to everything they say.

Wouldn't you like to know what they're talking about?

Yeah, right?

What do you mean?

You don't know what they're talking about?

Nope.

Really? What else could it be?

Herber getting extradited.

They're figuring out what to do.

He was extradited?

No, let's not talk about that, let them figure it out.

What I also think is important is taking things easy.

We need to keep a low profile, be careful and avoid being out in public.

Staying off the radar.

It's true we've got the cops in our pocket,

but it's time we give them a hand.

I don't know, Pablo, there's one thing I'm worried about.

That Herber could be up there spilling it all out to the gringos.

- Doesn't that worry you? - Trust me, Germán,

we're all worried about that.

What we have to do now is work our asses off.

We need to make money in case the government comes after us.

Exactly, we were so focused on those attacks and the war

that we've neglected the business.

It's time we focus on what we do best.

Making money! So we can arm ourselves better.

As manager of this company, I'm the first to want this, right?

So I've started looking for new routes to move our goods, guys.

By the way, you should know that the Cuba route is getting harder.

We're doing one trip every two weeks and that's not enough.

Don't worry about that, Ramada, we'll solve that later.

That's not problem you, Valencia, Correa or Arellano should worry about.

What matters is keeping a low profile.

Please, after this meeting,

move to another house, sell your apartments, switch cars.

And if you need a patsy to sign at the notary's office,

just tell Gonzalo.

You didn't need to tell us.

Please, move to a new house, thanks.

All right, then I should leave, guys.

That joke about the patsy was good.

That's no joke!

Why don't you tell one, man?

Listen up, Pablito.

I talked to Gildardo González.

What, Pedro?

You're doing business with the Cali Cartel?

No way, man.

We became friends when we did time together in Spain.

What does that have to do with me?

He called me to ask for a special favor.

The leaders of the Cali Cartel asked a Medellin Cartel boss for a favor?

How about that?

What is it?

Well, he wants to know if you can meet the leaders of the Cali Cartel.

I don't know.

I don't know if that'd be good. But if I do it, I'll meet with Gildardo,

not Manuel because he's too crazy and rude.

Let me think about it.

- All right. - Go enjoy yourself.

How are you?

Hello.

Hi.

Hi, man, how are you doing?

How are you?

Hi, Pablo.

Hi, Gildardo.

- Thanks for coming. - Good to see you.

- Take a seat. - Thanks.

Do you want a beer?

- You do? - Yeah, thanks.

So, Gildardo, I must confess

I was very surprised you...

wanted to meet me.

How about it?

I also wanted to thank you for coming to Antioquia to meet me.

I know you feel safer here,

even if it doesn't look like it.

Anyway, what's the problem?

My problem, Pablo, is with two men

we did business with a while ago and...

It must be one hell of a problem if you can't solve it yourself.

The problem is they're not in Cali.

They're in Medellin.

Okay, so?

The tricky thing is these guys work for you.

All right, thanks, darling.

Come on, take a look!

Dear Lord, the Monaco building.

Nice name, right?

What's up with your son? Everything is European.

Monaco, Nápoles, is he European now?

Never mind that, he likes it.

Besides, Monaco is a very elegant principality.

What matters is that it's in my neighborhood.

We're right next to each other.

You'll be very comfortable here and you already know the area.

I think you'll be very happy here.

Tell me something, Enelia, did Pablo ask you to say that?

What, Pato?

How could you say that? I'd never do that and you know it.

Hold on, Gildardo, let me see if I got this right.

You're asking me to give you two men that work for me?

That's right.

Hernán Valencia and Pablo Correa.

Having fun, Correa?

This thing is amazing. Where did you get it? I want one.

I've got good contacts.

If you're not okay, you can join the comedian down there.

No, no, half a million is fine.

No way.

That's not going to happen.

Hear me out first.

I'll give you half a million for each one.

But I don't want them, you'll have to take care of them.

One million dollars to give you two of my partners, Gildardo?

They're two men that wronged us.

If you don't take care of them, we will.

Don't even think about that.

If you do that, you'll get us all in big trouble.

Pablo, that's why I'm here, brother.

I'm a businessman and I like to keep things clear.

Two million.

- Deal. - Good.

Well, let's eat.

I'm so angry at him, Enelia.

Everything that's happening is his fault, he asked for it!

All of it!

Yeah, but there's no point in crying over spilled milk.

Knowing him like I do,

I know he'll take a step back now,

he'll reorganize his pieces, he'll plan his next move.

He's responsible, I know him. This is only temporary.

Besides, instead of adding fuel to the fire, you should relax.

When a man has problems, he needs his wife to be his pillar.

We get to suffer, darling.

It's lovely.

Then you'll clean it.

You're doing that, honey.

It's beautiful! Look at its gardens.

Come on, boy, move!

Move, damn it!

God, what is it doing? Move, idiot!

Come on, Pepito, move!

Use the spurs!

Are you stupid, Pepito? You've got to be kidding me!

Don't tell me you'll write me a check!

No way, I'm paying you in cash!

- You must be loaded! - I sure am!

You invest money on these cocks so they multiply it for you and look!

You should bet against your cocks, idiot!

I guess so, man.

Let's go get you your money.

Let's toast first, it's always good to receive money, right?

- Come on, cheers. - Cheers.

Bye, honey.

Be safe.

Bye, guys!

Made some money, didn't you?

You need to learn not to bet on animals because they're animals,

they don't think, they don't know what money is.

I'll get a tiger so it eats all those cocks.

You're so dumb, that's an animal too.

I'll give you a hand. We're friends, right?

I'll call you then.

- Sure. - So you teach me something.

Switch, get a million to pay my friend.

Is it just one million? Wasn't it more?

Sure, I'll pay you the rest later.

What are you doing, idiot?

Gonzalo, man.

We're friends, what is this?

Friends?

Friends are a burden.

Don't, Gonzalo, let's talk, Gonzalo!

Let go of me, I can do it on my own.

You're playing dumb and you don't want to get me an apartment.

You want to keep me in this small ranch.

Look, baby, I don't want to talk about it so I don't ruin it,

but if this business goes well, we'll be swimming in bills.

The driver is here.

I hope he got everything.

Move aside, bitch! Are you Hernán Valencia?

- Yes, that's me. - Let's go, let's go!

- Easy with her! - I'm here for you, hurry up!

- What's going on? - What do you care?

- What is this? - They sent me here.

- Who, who did? - Move it!

- Who hired you? - Move, move!

- Quickly! - Relax, Marcia, honey!

It's fine, who sent you?

Move, move, what do you care?

Look, Pablo, my problem with the Cali Cartel is about money.

They want me to give them money I don't owe them--

Don't waste your breath, I don't care.

It's your problem, not mine.

The thing is the Cali Cartel wants you dead.

Jesus, Pablo!

Come on, Gonzalo.

You know me.

I'm on your team.

Don't worry, Pablo, we never said we'd kill you.

If you're not going to kill me, why am I tied up?

This is a financial problem.

I received your half million and I thank you for that, but I need more.

If this is about money, I'll give you as much as you want, Pablo.

That's good, Correa.

We need ten million dollars.

God, Pablo, I don't have that kind of money, you know that.

Are you sure, Correa?

Perhaps if you sell some properties or stocks, you can get it.

I really need it.

Work with me here.
