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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

So much money to end up like this,

hiding. Don't you think it's stupid?

Absolutely, sir.

He had money for shipments,

to order kidnappings, assassinations, car bombs,

but he will never enjoy it

because we will always go after him.

What sense does such a life make?

What happens is that we actually don't know how the guy operates,

but we do have lots of evidence of his lifestyle.

For example, we know he smokes marijuana,

we know that he would rather hide than face us

and although he has so many permanent security rings,

the truth is that very few men are by his side.

Call the informant.

If he knew this address,

then he might just another ranch where Escobar might be hiding.

I already spoke with the man.

- So early? - Yes.

He told me that Escobar has a ranch in the middle of the jungle

which he calls "the ultra-secret".

Oh my goodness, man! We finally got here.

Yes, I want to change clothes and sleep for a while.

- So then? - Boss...

- Boss. - Boss.

What happened with the others? Have they arrived?

You are the first ones.

I'll find out, sir.

Look Marino, I need something.

You need to bring everyone here. I want them all here with us.

- All right, sir. - Go ahead.

- Let's go. - Good morning, boss.

- Go on. - Thank you very much.

Go, go, go.

What the hell, Gonzalo? Did you become a faggot?

Were you born in a golden crib or what?

Maybe money spoiled you?

Can't you take a little sweat, a small walk?

Listen to this asshole, who ever said this has to do with money, Pablo?

It's this old age that's screwing us up.

Come off it Pablo. Aren't you tired? Aren't you sleepy?

Tired my ass! We are in big trouble, Peluche.

What happened last night is extremely serious!

We have a mole and we must find out who he is

and squeeze his balls! How the hell can I be tired?

Mole, mole, mole.

Guys, answer. Mole, mole, mole.

Kiko, Cain? Kiko, Kiko, Kiko,

Cain, Cain, Cain. Answer, answer...

Mole, Mole, Mole?

Guys, answer me! Kiko? Cain?

Mole, Mole, Mole?

Mom, you're so sweet, always taking me to the door.

- Can I get a blessing, mom? - God bless you, my love.

Thank you, mommy. See you later.

Hello, Don Toño, how are you?

Good morning, good morning.

Good morning, good morning.

Good morning, Miss Rosario.

- What's all this, Norita? - This is all for you.

Your boyfriend is so nice!

But we will have to put them somewhere else, Rosario.

We can't fit it all in here.

What about the cards? Did the flowers not have any?

There were no cards but it came with this.

Do you think young Victor is going to propose to you, Miss Rosario?

A Rolex?

"For the most beautiful TV announcer in Medellín,

from her not so secret admirer, Julio."

So, what's new Norita? How are things?

Everything is fine.

Alright, can you put my purse over there?

Okay.

Freddy Perea's motivation is very clear, Aguirre.

He wants us to get Escobar out of his way.

He did not claim the one-billion reward,

because he's going to get much more by getting Escobar out of our way.

One billion, that's just for one.

Imagine if we could get them all?

I asked the guy the same thing, Colonel.

Do you know what he said?

That he's doing it because he can't stand Escobar.

He considers him a damage to the region and the country.

That's bullshit.

Why would he care about his region or his country?

Guys like him are only interested in their personal benefit.

As long as it's also to our benefit, Colonel.

No, Aguirre. In this war, everything goes.

We have to be very careful with informants like him.

I know, Colonel.

But this comes to show one thing:

Not all criminals in this country like Escobar.

- Criminals? - Look at Perea, for example.

There's no arrest warrant, right?

But we know he's the commander of the Peasant Self-Defense Forces.

And as you know, Colonel,

when a civilian takes up arms, even if his intentions are good,

what happens? He turns out to be a delinquent.

Wake up, everybody!

What happened? What's going on?

Listen, listen. Listen to this.

Those damn sons of bitches again!

Do you think they're coming for us?

Of course they are, Peluche. Someone is betraying us.

Their mole has to be pretty skilled

because we are the only ones who know we are here.

And this has always been the most secret ranch of all.

Yes, sir!

What happened is what you said, Pablo.

They caught Earring and Vulture in Medellín.

- Can you communicate with them? - I'll try it right away.

Okay, do it. Get ready because we're leaving.

Mole, Mole, Mole.

Mole, Mole, Mole.

Answer!

Perico! Perico!

Perico!

Grab this and take it.

Bye Ariel, nice to see you.

Hello, Miss. Could you please come with us?

Please come in. It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you.

I have to work.

Give me only five minutes, I swear.

No, really. I wanted to ask you a favor.

Please, don't send me any gifts.

Here is your watch. I want to give it back to you.

No, no, how can you do that?

That was a gift I wanted to give you, how can you give it back to me?

Don't be so rude, sell it, do whatever you want with the money.

Don't be rude.

No, I don't need the money, if that's what you mean.

I don't need expensive gifts from you.

I'm not the type of woman you can buy with these gifts.

Oh well, that's interesting.

So, tell me how I can do it and I'll do whatever you say.

I really don't want to be rude, but I'm really not interested.

Really.

Look doll, I'm going to tell you something.

I'm a very sensible man.

When someone doesn't want to be with me,

the only thing I can do is to accept it.

But, just like I'm sensible, I'm also a little proud

and if you're not good for me

then you're not good for that bald idiot you're going out with.

Let's go, Smurf.

How much more to go?

Come on, bro. Did you forget where we are?

Go on, go on...

Hey bro, easy, easy.

My head is spinning.

You see the result, man. Why did you drink?

I told you and told you not to drink that "aguardiente".

You should drink consecration wine instead

so that there's no hangover or guilt!

You think you're funny?

Let's continue being funny and let's make jokes after Chili's death.

- Come on man, it's not about that, - No, it's only a joke

No, no, no. Not one, not two... I don't want any jokes!

Show some respect for the dead.

You know what?

Let's get in touch with Marino to tell him know we are on our way.

- With Marino? - Yes, with Marino.

And since when do we owe Marino any justification?

Okay. Call him and say:

"Marino, boss, we are on our way".

Come on, it's not like that. Haven't you understood yet?

The idea is to tell him that we were out of battery.

You better start praying

because we are going to get damn scolded.

We'll be crucified when we get there.

- Marino... - Alright, let's pray.

Hey, hey! There is a checkpoint.

Go back, go back. They haven't seen us.

Please, Lord, save us from all those who are chasing us...

Aguirre, there's no doubt, they were here.

Yes sir, once again they've escaped.

But we can get them.

Calm down, Major, calm down.

I'm calm, Colonel, but these tracks are very recent.

They were here less than half an hour ago!

We can find them.

Aguirre, this is the jungle.

That's even better, Colonel.

They can get lost, they don't know where they're going.

We can follow their steps.

Colonel, we can't miss this opportunity.

This is so damn hot.

If it were only the heat.

What about the humidity and the mosquitoes?

Pablo, let's sit down and rest for a while.

Okay, let's stay in here for a couple of minutes.

A couple of minutes?

Okay, a couple of minutes.

Sir, that water is probably not very good.

It's purer than tap water. Go ahead, have some.

So, what's the plan? Where are we heading?

Well, I think we should go to La Dorada, to Freddy Perea's.

He said he had an army to protect us.

Yes, I think that's a good idea.

Freddy Perea?

Bro, what's wrong with Freddy Perea?

Nothing, except that to go to La Dorada

we have to cross the highway and we could get into trouble.

That place must be full of cops, sir.

So, what are we supposed to do, then?

I think the best thing is to try to get to El Peñol reservoir.

There's a ranch I gave to my sister over there.

El Peñol, Pablo? That's quite far!

How are we going to walk all the way over there, man?

How do you want us to go there, Peluche? In a helicopter or what?

But how far away is El Peñol, Pablo?

I don't know, it's about two or three days walking at my pace.

At your pace it's about a week away.

No, no, no. Don't mess with me, man!

What do you think Pablo Escobar is going to feel

when he realizes that you were the one who betrayed him?

Let him find out.

If he wants to do something to me let him come.

I know how to get at him.

And what about Miguel Moreno?

That is a problem. Commander Miguel has no idea.

But that's what happens when you are so naive.

But look, this is so strange. The first time they nearly get the man,

they can't do it.

And he was right there, in a small ranch near Medellín.

That's the problem with the cops, Evencio.

That they do everything within the law.

With human rights, they can't do anything.

If that task had been ours,

we would have killed that fatso ages ago.

Right.

Do you think they will catch him now

in that ultra-secret place where he is now?

Well, if he escapes and goes to the jungle,

- it will be Escobar's problem. - Yes.

Because more than respecting the jungle, you must fear it.

- Do you know the way, Major? - The way?

The way is to follow the tracks.

I think this situation is very tough.

Here we are in the 20th century and we're being threatened like this?

Well, yes. But I don't know how this happened.

Ending up in the hands of drug dealers, murderers.

Because they have no education whatsoever.

Well yes, but by insulting them we won't get anywhere.

But that's the truth Victor and we must do something about it.

I don't know. I don't know.

Why don't we look at the newspapers

to see the type of rewards they are offering for those people?

Sure, and then we can claim that money right?

- A few million... - For goodness sake!

We are not playing cops and robbers.

Here we are talking about the worst criminals in this country.

You can't risk your life for ten million or one billion dollars,

- nor any money in the world. - Yes mother, you are right,

because money is what matters the least, but what shall we do then?

I hope you aren't expecting me to break up with Victor, are you?

Victor, you are part of this family

and you know how much we love you,

but this is a death threat and I think that, at this point,

our lives are more important than our love.

Peluche, Peluche, Marino, Gonzalo!

- What happened? - Medellín scored a goal!

- Oh, come on Pablo. - Medellín? Who scored it?

Aguillera, "the duck".

- What a dude. - What a score.

- A classic move. - Of course.

Hey, Pablo. You feel very hot.

- What? - Gonzalo, touch him and see.

- Yes. - Pablo, you're ill.

- Do you want some water sir? - Yes, yes.

- Don't you feel sick? - Well, now that you mention it.

How do you feel, Pablo?

Where to now, sir?

How the fuck am I supposed to know, man? What do you mean?

The one that knows is the guide and he's nearly dead.

But didn't you roam this area when you were young boys?

But how the fuck am I going to remember man?!

What an asshole. I used to follow Pablo, man, hey, hey!

Let's rest for a while. Lay him down here, right here,

He's burning with fever.

Fetch him some water.

Pablo, Pablo, brother do you know where we should go?

We must do something to reduce his fever, bro.

Take your shirt off, wet it and put it on him as cold as possible.

Come, come.

We'll go 50 meters down the path

to see if we can find a ravine where we can redirect...

Hello? Hello?

Is there anybody here?

What do you want?

Lady, we need some help.

Is that...?

Look, lady, it doesn't matter who that is.

Please help us, he's very ill and has a fever.

Please cooperate.

That's Don Pablo Escobar.

How long have you been hiding in the jungle?

Two days.

He's very ill. The man has malaria.

This is incredible, my dear Pablo,

but you made it, son.

But why are you lying to me mother? Why incredible?

You have always believed blindly in my abilities.

Well, that's true, because you have been different.

I knew you would get much further than all your brothers,

than all the family. That you would reach this glory.

You just have to see how people love and respect me.

But how can't they love and respect you

if you are Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria,

President of the Republic of Colombia?

Cousin?

Pablo... Wake up, Pablo!

We must change the sheet, it is soaking wet.

What we have to do is to call a doctor, lady.

A doctor around here?

No! We have to heal our illness at home!

He is not reacting, is he? Pablo.

No, I think he's getting worse.

- Pablo Emilio? - Hey Pablo, cousin, cousin!

Pablo, Pablo!

Come, drink this.

All of it, all of it.

I had never seen my brother so sick, much less in bed.

Never this sick, but in bed?

Yes, with so many girls!

It's just a joke, come on!

That lady has given him so many concoctions,

but nothing seems to happen. He is still delirious.

Gonzalo, how long have we been here?

Three days.

Three days and nothing has happened. He's not getting better.

We have to wait, brother.

Just wait.

Hello, good evening.

Good evening, sir. Can I help you?

Yes ma'am. I would like to talk to your daughter for a moment,

if I may.

Don't take long Rosario, we don't want to be late to the airport.

Excuse me.

So, are you leaving on a trip?

What is he saying to her?

Yes, I'm leaving for a while to study abroad.

Maria Rosarito...

You are so pretty, you don't need any of that.

What about the news broadcast?

That can wait.

And your boyfriend? What's with your boyfriend?

Well, for your information, I no longer have a boyfriend.

Well, that's very good news.

Will that guy ever leave us in peace?

I don't know, but Rosario is leaving the country.

I like that very much.

That's great.

But today, I've come to say something else.

Please don't bother me anymore,

stop looking for me, stop pushing me.

I don't want anything with you. Leave me alone.

Aren't you uptight.

Do you really think you're the only pretty girl in Medellín?

Well, you are not, you are not the only one,

and I've come to tell you, I'm a reasonable man,

but if by chance the police comes looking for me,

I will know who told them.

And believe me,

even if I'm in jail that person will die,

you understand?

Listen, I'm asking a question, do you understand?

Rosario, we are leaving right now.

Oh yes of course, ma'am. Don't you worry, I'm also leaving.

Have a nice trip, Rosario.

And congratulations, madam.

You have a very pretty daughter. Very pretty.

- It's shame she's so stupid. - How dare you?

There's nothing, Colonel.

No matter how your son Martín tries to track the calls,

we don't have a single clue on Escobar.

He is hiding, Aguirre.

He is regaining strength.

Getting fit to attack again.

Yes, and on top this mess,

Freddy Perea says he has no clue of his whereabouts.

Aguirre, that guy already gave us what we needed.

I already said I don't want us to have any more contact with him.

Yes, sir.

We will have a new President,

and he's surely going to insist on getting results.

But you know something?

I believe Escobar's best days are already in the past.

The guy is feeling weak,

and besides, it's time we begin to win the battles.

The battles, Colonel? But what about the war?

We shall win it when we capture and finish off that bastard.

I honestly don't know how I can thank you

for everything you did to me.

No, it was nothing.

What do you mean? It was a lot.

It was thanks to your hospitality, your attention

and your medicines, that I can say I'm still alive.

I'm not dead.

Well, I would have done the same for anyone,

but I'm' so happy that you are completely recovered.

And I would like to say that what I like the most

is that now I have another best friend,

because we will always be friends, right?

Yes, of course.

Why don't you stop that war against the police

and try to fix your problems.

My dear lady.

We are men of peace, we want peace.

That's why we have to continue fighting against the police.

But I'm going to leave you a little present

so you won't even feel tempted to get a reward.

Gonzalo, give me that.

Now you realize that not only the police

can give rewards to every good citizen.

This is for you.

Thank you!

Here, Gonzalo. Take good care of yourself, okay?

Thank you very much.

Goodbye.

Thank you very much and may God bless you.

- Thank you. - Pablo, Pablo.

Nobody should know we've been here.

All right. Do it, we have to leave.

- Thank you very much. - Take care.

And what are you going to do with that money, lady?

Well, I'll...

- Did you bring the money? - Of course.

How nice to have you in the city again, Pablo.

Yes, Ramada. You know what?

Medellín has always welcomed me.

No matter what happens, it always welcomes me with open arms.

All right man, you'll kiss him later. Let's talk business.

That box over there has five million dollars

which was a contribution by the Motoa brothers.

That one that Marino just brought in, has another five million dollars

which were brought by you, Ramada and Arellano, right?

- Is it all complete, brother? - Complete.

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

As we've always said Pablo,

you can always count on us no matter what, bro.

Pablo, the taxis you asked for are ready for you.

The first three are outside.

And I also hope you like the houses we got for you.

Thank you very much. Thank you, my friend.

And what are we supposed to do with those taxis and the money?

The "Wanted" signs keep coming out every night.

Well, for now, the war will have to continue.

the strategies and the battle scenario are the ones that will change.

Gonzalo, I need to ask you a big favor.

Ten million dollars are okay,

but it's not enough.

I need at least twice that amount right now,

so then, get together with the boys and see what you can do.

- Okay, that's fine. - Marino, Marino. Come.

We might as well.

Do me a favor.

I need you to arrange a couple of appointments

with Miguel Moreno, Pedro Motoa,

Falcao Lopera and Alonso Santorini.

Two different appointments.

Help me with that, thanks.

- Well, let's leave it at that. - You're not going to eat?

- Yes. I'll take this to go. - We need to check on the providers.

New proposals. Should we write them now?

Pablo, tell me something. Will you come to see me tonight?

Or will you leave me waiting again?

Well what can I say, dear friend?

I can't give you a discount, that merchandise is imported.

Okay. I already have the coordinates

So, lieutenant?

Is that the help we were waiting from the Americans?

Listen, Major.

With that plane's help we will be able to can triangulate the calls from air

and not necessarily from land.

And what do we achieve by tracking all calls mentioning Pablo?

Or do these asshole gringos think

we are going to do a thousand raids per day?

Major Aguirre, please!

Colonel, I'm sorry to say this

but we've been doing this for so many days

and nothing happens.

Remember we had Pablo Escobar so near in the middle of the jungle

and now what? We are more lost than the Pope in a brothel!

Martin, have we made some progress?

Colonel, we have been tracking some frequencies

but this has not helped much.

We've been tracking them using keywords,

but we're not getting anywhere yet.

Listen, Aguirre, as long as we don't have any information,

we will have to continue working with the leads we get from the Americans,

whether you like it or not!

Look, as soon as you load all those things,

fill all the spaces left with boxes up to here, okay?

Cover up everything completely. Did you count all those things, boy?

Yes, sir.

If any of these boxes gets lost, you're the one responsible.

- Yes, boss. - Go ahead.

This is uncle Pepe.

Look nephew, all the cattle is about to leave.

- Okay, fine. - In about half an hour.

Okay, uncle. Now, I need a couple of guys

to help me with security. Do you understand?

That's going to be difficult because everyone is sort of busy.

Okay, no problem. I'll see what I can do.

- Okay, go ahead. - Good bye!

Hey. Come here.

If you touch me again, you asshole, you die.

And how much are we talking about?

Brother, I'll be honest. That dynamite is not enough.

I also need the one you're expecting to receive.

Look, let's not delay this anymore.

We need all the dynamite you can get your hands on.

Just tell us how much it's worth and we'll pay you.

It's simple. No questions asked.

I just don't understand why you are so damn stubborn.

Ivan, it's not stubbornness. Pablo Escobar wants to see me, right?

So, I have to go. What else?

What do you mean what else? You can say no.

Say no? Just listen to this guy. Don't you know him?

I do and that's precisely why I don't want you to go.

Look Falcao, I was with him a few months ago.

- Because of Daniel Bedoya's son. - Yes, I know.

And you know how badly that turned out.

Well, that was their problem because nothing happened to you, right?

But something could have happened. The closeness with that man was alright

until he became a kidnapper, a murderer,

a terrorist, but that's it.

Just tell him you can't go. You have a trip planned,

your daughter got sick, I don't know, whatever excuse you want,

but please, for the love of God,

Falcao, don't go to see Pablo Escobar!

How is everything? Any checkpoints around there?

Everything is fine and quiet, boss. Continue.

Okay, thank you very much.

Ready, ready. It's here.

Darling!

- I am so happy to see you, my love! - Hi, Daddy!

I'm so happy. It's been so long!

- You've been away for so long! - Yes, I know,

but now we can be together for some time.

Come little Daniela. Sit here with me... there we go.

So, Emilio, are you happy with the new house? Do you like it?

Yes, Dad, it's super, what I like most is the patio, it's cool.

Good.

What I like the most is that you are going to be in the city

and you can come and visit us here all the time.

Yes, that's the idea.

So, Daniela, my little sugar bun, are you happy with your room?

Yes, Daddy, it's really super cool.

Danny, show your daddy what you've learned.

I learned this here at home because my brother and I can't go to school.

Well yes, but actually you don't need it. Come and show me what you learned.

I already know the alphabet in English.

Is that so? You know the alphabet in English?

Go on tell me, how is it?

- Very good. - Bravo, honey.

When I was her age I knew the whole thing in English, from A to Z.

You're so cheeky.
