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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

Oh, no. I feel kind of nervous.

Listen, Maria, everything is going to be all right.

You should be happy that he wants to meet you.

Well, yeah, you are right.

Of course! Relax, let's go.

The girl has bought the tickets.

They are going to the bus. I'm following them.

Very good! And don't let them see you.

We need the exact spot, the place of sacrifice.

Yes, sir. Don't worry.

We're very close, Aguirre, very close to Escobar.

- Good morning! - Good morning!

The car keys! The car keys! Quick!

Freeze!

We're nearby Cocorná.

Evencio Díaz, Mr. President!

We know about him because a businessman, an emerald dealer,

identified him and he took us to Evencio.

He is supposedly the man behind the attempt against Mr. Galán.

The leader of the gang?

Yes, Mr. President.

Well, if these men are Mr. Galán's assassins,

what about the Arab man,

and the others you detained?

Well, those are clues.

That two groups may be involved, We suspect both of them.

Clues? What kind of clues?

Did the two groups work together?

Well, we don't know, Mr. President.

When you captured them, you told me they were Galán's assassins.

And now you are saying something different.

Mr. President, these are theories.

And we are checking both of them.

No, Peraza, there is something wrong here.

While some people claim innocence, others are accusing them of a crime.

Don't you think there's some injustice being done here?

This can't be happening!

Relax, brother. You have to take it easy.

You said to have faith, remember?

We'll be out soon.

We are up against two state police bodies. It's impossible, Abigail.

Your brother's going to prove that this was a set-up, a farce.

So, don't worry.

More than fifty witnesses are saying that

they've seen me at the Soacha square that day.

I'm fucked, Abigail!

They were paid to say that, brother.

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon.

Who is Abigail Muñoz?

That's me.

Come out!

Why?

Are you taking him to be identified by the people you bought off?

You are free to go.

- Really? - What about us?

We are all innocent too! Why don't you let us go?

You?

You are in trouble.

But why? Colonel!

Why are you keeping us in here? This is unfair!

We let him go, General.

He was just an accountant who had nothing to do with Fayad, the culprit.

Then why was he detained?

Just a bad coincidence, he happened to be at the plaza.

Something is wrong here.

How can there be two men arrested for shooting Mr. Galán?

General, I'm sure about who I arrest.

I have videos, and documents as proof.

And on the other hand, you have a confession and a photograph.

General, I wouldn't trust such a simple answer.

Something doesn't fit here.

So, are you the one in the photo?

No sir. That man looks like me in the photo,

but that's not me.

What do you mean?

A couple of hours ago you confessed to it.

No, sir. I haven't confessed anything.

I only made up something this man here,

and the Director of the department wanted to hear.

They were going to kill me.

But now that you are here, I can tell you the truth.

I didn't do anything and I have nothing to do with Mr. Galán's death.

- How are you, boss? - All fine, buddy.

Hi, Coach!

Will you have a drink?

- No. - No, we're fine.

Hey buddy, how are you?

Everything's okay!

Let's go!

Two beers.

Let's go.

Thank you, son!

Hey, pretend like you're buying a soda.

Hi there! Everything fine?

What's up?

How are you? What are you drinking?

I am having a beer.

Give me two more beers, son.

Sir, we're close to the pigsties already.

But there are many mosquitoes around. It's not safe!

Don't go closer. I repeat, don't go closer.

We are close enough for now.

It's really hot over here!

- What's up, neighbor? - It's all good.

Where does this path go?

It leads to several ranches.

Do you know this area?

I know a person who knows it very well.

Have a beer on me and find that man for me.

- Thank you! - It's okay.

The farmer says he knows the exact location of Escobar's ranch.

How does he know?

Because he's seen trucks every day,

and people guarding that area.

He recently saw a helicopter near the ranch, Colonel. It must be the place!

Did he tell you the location?

He offered to take us there when he heard about the reward.

Perfect! Talk to him about it.

Arrange an operation to leave at dawn.

Colonel, I knew that woman, Maria, would lead us to where he is.

That's the best thing to us, Aguirre.

We have some fast and concrete results to show the President, and the General.

This time we are going to catch Escobar.

- Can I tell you something? - What is it?

I feel so strange.

Over here,

with you, in this ranch, I don't know.

What do you mean strange, Maria? Don't you like it here?

Yes, of course I like it!

Everything is perfect!

Things in bed were much better than I expected.

- But, well... - What?

I'm still a little scared

Scared?

Why do you say that? Scared of what?

- Well, they say so many things about you. - Yeah.

Bad and good things too.

But, I don't know.

After Galán's murder.

Don't listen to them.

All those things people say about me are nothing but lies.

Don't believe the newspapers, the media, nobody.

Do you really think that

the man lying down on this bed is the monster the media say he is?

Or do you see a generous, loving,

peaceful, calm man?

Yes.

I also think people in Colombia are very jealous.

- That's right, Maria. - Is it?

That's what is happening.

Can I ask you something now?

Yes, of course.

Do you like volleyball?

Yes, I love it.

Would you like to win an Olympic Games medal?

Of course! Everybody does!

All right. I'm going to make you a proposal.

If you promise to come here whenever I ask you,

I will sponsor you.

Because I know the government doesn't help sports.

But I'm not like that. I'm different.

I'll send you to Cuba,

and give you a monthly allowance, and help you win a medal.

- Do you mean that? - I swear.

But.

If you cheat me and don't come,

I'll ask my brother Peluche

to find you at your house and cut your little legs off.

You wouldn't dare to do that, right?

Yes, no. I'm joking about it.

It's incredible, the newspaper was barely damaged

and this machine is in one piece.

Maybe dad was protecting us.

That's why we managed to issue today's edition, and tomorrow's as well.

I talked to Juan Guillermo.

What did he say?

That he'll be here in a few days.

Mother, don't torture yourself any more.

The family must be together in good and bad times.

Who knows when the good times will be back.

Mom, you can't imagine the anguish Juan Guillermo is in for not being here.

Knowing what's happening to us.

I came back because I didn't want to suffer that way.

Is it a coincidence that you came back the day before the bombing.

Mother, whether it's coincidence or not, I'm back here.

And Juan Guillermo will be here very soon.

We can't let fear stop us from being a close family.

I don't think your father thought that the situation would get to where it is.

Such a struggle for everything.

This is exhausting, Fer, it's frustrating!

If dad had thought about it,

he would have asked us to remained together,

and that's how we'll be.

This way.

What's up, buddy?

Have you always been such a bore?

You want a rum?

No, thank you.

At least pass me the scotch since you gatecrashed my party.

What's going on?

What's up champion?

Do you want to go to bed, Coach? Your room is ready.

Oh, all right.

Go ahead then!

He was falling asleep!

What a dumb ass!

Okay! Tell me, how was the girl?

She is a champion! Can't you see she's an athlete?

Out of the way, brother!

Listen to him now! Listen!

With flippers and everything.

This asshole is going to empty the pool.

Look at your head, you've lost your hair!

This fucking hair won't stop falling. I don't know what to do

Oh no!

What happened with that girl? Was she too much for you?

What do you mean too much? I already did what I had to.

Well, I'm obviously not the same as I was ten or fifteen years ago.

And it's happening to us as well.

Old and tired! That's what we are now!

I am not tired, but yeah.

I'm tired.

Tired of hiding like a rat, brother.

Having so much money, but having to keep running.

Bullshit!

It's time we started enjoying the money we've made.

It's that simple.

Didn't I tell you that, Pablo? That's exactly what I told him.

I mean it, Pablo. Why don't we stop fighting with those people.

With all that money we have? We can do whatever we want!

Listen Fabio, we have no choice. We can't do anything else right now.

Okay.

I wanted to come say hello, and that I love you very much.

Likewise.

But I'm going to sleep with the girl.

- Good night! - Sleep well!

Hey!

One for the brother in law and another for the cousin!

What about my sister, asshole?

Knock it off, man.

Stop it.

This is the last one!

Hey, look over there!

Is that a helicopter?

Over here!

Give me the pistol, you handle the ammo.

Pablo, wake up!

Pablo!

Pablo!

- Secure the entrance. - What's going on?

What the fuck, Peluche? What is it?

The first security ring just sighted two helicopters. We have to leave right now!

Oh no! The police?

Oh, Maria! Calm down, nothing's wrong.

Look, that's the river bed!

My men found the path that leads to the road over there.

Things look so much different from up here!

It's all the same. There's the path from the road.

You said that Escobar's ranch is twenty minutes from there.

Chili, where are they now?

At the Guarichal.

Still at the Guarichal?

Yes, sir.

Then what are you hurrying for?

They'll need at least half hour to get here.

Fuck off, man!

Come here, Maria, we can stay in bed for a while.

Sir, the girl has to leave now.

She has to leave?

Let go of her, Pablo!

Chili! Drop her at Medellin!

Wait, Chili!

Listen to me. Take special care of her.

She's going to be a sports star in Columbia. Take her to Medellin.

Leave your panties here as a memory, my love.

Go! Do what he said. To Medellin! Move!

Coach, let's go! Start that car, Cocoliso!

Topo! Come on! Move it!

I need to run.

You're in charge of the boss' security!

- Leave it to me. - Go! Come on, kid! Cain!

Pablo, don't be irresponsible! Get up!

What the fuck?

Did you put up the poles, so the helicopters can't land?

Right, and I'm irresponsible?

Come on! Come on!

The fourth pole!

Put up the ropes!

Help me out with this.

Pull harder boss! Harder!

Ready!

Come on bastards!

Come on!

Can you make out anything now?

Not much!

Don't worry, you know this area very well.

But you haven't seen it from the air. Take your time, just think.

Damn, this is not going to work!

Tower two to tower one, come in tower one.

We're coming down, awaiting instructions.

Get ready, boys. It's going to get hot!

Look! Over there! That's Mrs. Fabiola's house!

Does that mean Escobar is hidden there?

Yes, he's there!

The house in yellow and green. The one with all the parked cars.

Look, there!

There are shooting at us!

Let's get out of here!

Go! Go!

Pablo! The cops are here. We need to move now, fast!

Let's move!

Topo! Where is Gonzalo? Gonzalo!

- Pablo! Are you listening to me? - Yeah.

- The cops are here. Let's move! - Give me a second.

Topo!

Gonzalo! Move, brother!

We'll get caught over here!

Son of a bitch!

Damn!

Come on!

Can't we land?

They've put up ropes on the poles!

We can't land without damaging the propellers!

Pablo! Get in!

Topo! Where are you?

Peluche! Protect the boss!

Come on!

Stay inside!

- Peluche! - Yes, boss!

I'm ordering you to leave right now!

No sir! I'm not going to leave you alone!

It's an order! Leave right now!

If we don't land near the house, they'll have time to escape!

Oh my God!

Then let's catch them!

Come on, Peluche!

Let's run from here!

Don Pedro! Come on!

Turn back around, Captain!

This is getting complicated!

Men, cover the boss! Come on! Move it!

Colonel! There's Escobar! He's shooting at us!

Come on!

Protect Pablo!

Let's go!

Topo, be with Pablo!

I'm with you, boss! Let's move!

- Fabio! - You cover Pablo!

Fabio!

We're being over powered, fire back!

We're going to die!

Fabio!

Hold on Pablo!

Fabio, wake up, look at me!

Fabio, listen to me! Everything is going to be all right. Please.

Look at me!

Come on, Pablo! We need to go!

Come on, Pablo!

Pablo! He's dead!

Run! We're going to get shot!

Move, boss! Move!

Let's run. They'll shoot us down!

Move it!

Hello! Yes, that's me.

How are you?

The death of Fabio Urrea,

is the first blow to the Medellin cartel.

He was Pablo Escobar's brother in law.

This shows that the government is producing concrete results.

I 'd like to congratulate the Elite Force,

which was recently established.

And also to remind you that we'll be continuing the persecution.

I don't believe in coincidences, you know that.

They planted the bomb when I came back to the country.

They planted it because they knew you were coming back?

No, I don't think so, Juangui, something like that can't be planned overnight.

I came back and now look.

The news of this death is very important for the Search Bloc.

Yes, maybe for us too.

I felt the same when Marcos Herbert was extradited.

The capture of don Guillermo should make me happy, but I'm not.

Yes, deep down, it still hurts.

The harm's been done, nothing can make up for it.

Even if you see Escobar dead, or extradited

Oh God, forgive your servant, Fabio,

whose burial we're performing today,

so he can enjoy the eternal happiness,

in the company of your Saints and loved ones.

For Christ Our Lord!

Amen.

Brothers and sisters!

Let's invoke our Lord Jesus Christ

who speaks about Himself.

At this moment, the man we've eliminated, Fabio Urrea, is being buried,

and I have civil units collecting intelligence there.

And snipers too, in case the criminals decide to attend.

I don't think that they're so stupid to attend the funeral.

Well, you never know with these people,

because when there is a death involved, they are unpredictable.

Staying close to the family is the only strategy we have for now.

I agree, Colonel. I have given them the necessary instructions.

They are predictable in this case.

When a criminal's mother is alive, they always make sure to take care of her.

Keep me posted about the situation.

Yes, Colonel.

What's wrong?

You don't seem to be excited about the results of this operation.

I'd rather get rid of Escobar.

But we gave him a fucking kick in his balls, didn't we?

For God's sake, Aguirre!

I'm sorry, Colonel, but that's the way it is.

Every triumph needs to be celebrated, big or small.

That's the only way we can keep going with enthusiasm.

We can't be too optimistic.

There's still a lot of work to be done.

After this, the Medellin Cartel will be planning for revenge.

So be cautious, Aguirre.

Excuse me, Colonel.

Do you want a drink of brandy, Peluche?

Pablo is so sad.

How you think he'll be feeling?

Fabio is dead.

- I know. - They killed Fabio!

I know, but what can we do?

We can't do anything but feel sad about it.

He was family, get it?

It hurts me too, jackass!

Though you don't believe it, I loved Fabio too!

Do you think the police will stop?

Do you think Fabio's death will be enough for them?

Do you think Pablo will just sit back and do nothing?

- I know he won't. - Why are we discussing it then?

Boss.

Boss.

Here's what you asked for.

Thanks kid.

What about the other issue?

Just waiting for your order, boss. Everything is in place for the Colonel.

I want to see his name in the news tonight.

- Yes, sir, you will. - Then go ahead with it.

Hey, I haven't told you.

He'll feel better when he's with his family at his birthday.

Cheers to Pablo!

Time cures everything, dear.

And you need to keep your head together, for the sake of your children.

Or life will be messed up.

Come on children, in the car!

This is all Pablo's fault.

Don't say that, Pat. Not in front of the children.

Let's go, come, dear.

Patty!

Stop over here.

The instructions are clear. We have to get that cop, kill him.

Don't worry about it, Chili. You know we're working on it.

Working on it? The boss needs him out of the way for good! Got it?

Yes, I understand. Don't worry. You know I get the work done.

Can you send Costra to help me out?

Okay, I'll send him over right away.

So they're planning to kill me!

Tapping the line is helpful, Colonel.

This even explains the recruitment happening in the villages.

We can't be sure of it yet.

We are sure of it, Colonel.

Escobar knows that he needs some help for his protection.

That's why they are recruiting these young men.

Do you think those inexperienced men can trouble us?

More soldiers means a more dangerous army, you know that.

Yes, but are we prepared to defend ourselves?

I'm sorry, Colonel. We didn't come to Medellin to defend ourselves.

We came here to attack!

Explain that, Aguirre, although I think I get it.

There's a plane waiting for you at the airport.

You are exaggerating.

Don't forget that Escobar's men have infiltrated this school.

Let's go then.

They are starting now.

I can't believe this! Escobar should be the one on the run.

This is only for the time being, Colonel You can't let them attack you.

I can't run away either.

Colonel, we know how powerful Pablo Escobar is this city.

And the police here are corrupt too. It's too dangerous to be here.

Then make sure there's proper security in place for me.

I want to work here, not in Bogota.

Christmas is here Costra! Take your shot!

Yeah, I'll shoot now.

No, aim for the first truck!

Watch out! Careful!

Was that the first truck?

I don't know, but we hit it!

Good afternoon!

Is the job done? You came for your payment now?

More or less.

What do you mean "more or less", Candonga? Explain yourself.

Well, where do I start from?

You know I was personally in charge of the operation, with Costra's help.

We spotted the convoy,

and there were two similar vans. So, we shot the first one,

but before we could reload the bazooka to shoot again,

the other van got away from us.

And the man was apparently in the other van.

Our informants told us they saw him at the airport.

He ran off to Bogota.

Oh, Candonga! I trusted you to do this because it's a serious job!

Look, Chili and sir, Pablo,

I personally guaranteed this mission, and I'm going to do it.

All I ask is that you give me some more time.

What?

That you give me a little more time.

Time? You stupid asshole!

Time for what, Candonga? What can you do now that he's in Bogota.

There's more chances of winning the lottery than killing a Colonel.

And now he knows we're after him. You fucked up, Candonga!

Come here kid.

Sit down.

What day is today?

- Monday. - Tuesday!

Tuesday.

Today's Tuesday.

You have eight days from today

to solve this problem,

if you don't, you're going to be in a bigger problem with me.

Is that clear, Candonga?

Very clear, don Pablo.

All right.

Excuse me now.

Fuck my life!
