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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

The children are desperate to see you and are driving me crazy.

They don't stop saying they want to talk to you right now!

I want to, but I need to talk to you first.

Listen, honey. I'm terrified!

Terrified because of what they did to Cain and the Vulture

and by no means want the same happens to you.

Don't worry because nothing like that is going to happen to me.

I have the whole situation under control,

and everything will come out very well.

I spoke with Pedro

and he said those PEPES are very serious

very dangerous,

at any moment that could harm me

or the children... Is that so?

Where are you going asshole? Jump son, jump! Go ahead.

That's exactly why you should leave the country, Patricia.

I have to relax, I need to be able to think

and organize myself without having to worry about your safety.

Do you understand me?

Honey, please...

... surrender. Will you? That's the best my darling.

No, that's not the best. Do you know what the best is?

That you travel to the United States.

- No. - Yes.

No! I don't want to go to that country Pablo!

I've said many times that I don't like it.

I don't want to leave without you. Understand me, will you?

I understand you. Listen to me. Listen to what I'm going to tell you.

It will be temporary, while I organize things in here.

As soon as I do that, I will meet you and the children, okay?

Please. I love you very much.

I'm not going to abandon you, Patty.

Stop crying.

Come here.

You are the eldest brother. Assert yourself!

Why don't you ask Pablo to surrender once and for all?

That's not as easy as you think. It is not a matter of just saying:

"I'm going to surrender". It is very complicated.

- What are you looking for? - You will see.

Alberto Emilio, you have always been a conciliatory, quiet person.

I know you have gotten into many problems because of Pablo,

but convince him once and for all that surrendering is the best.

Listen, Dad. Don't worry that when you least expect,

we will surprise you. You'll see.

Children, aren't you going to congratulate your father?

He is doing very well in his job.

- Congratulations, Dad! - Thanks, son.

- What did you do? - Something very important is happening

and the good guys are winning the fight to the bad ones. Right, dear?

Yes, darling.

Things are going very well. Two of those criminals fell.

- But the most important one hasn't. - Pablo Escobar.

Everyone at school talks about that

and asks me when you are going to arrest him.

I answer, I don't know.

Tell them that will happen soon, son, very soon.

For the time being we have him cornered

and he can neither leave nor terrify Colombians,

and that's the most important thing, Simon. Do you understand it?

For the time being go and do your homework.

Cesar, they already did their homework.

Then... you should go to bed then.

Finish your dinner children and we'll go to bed.

Dad needs to rest too.

Don't worry because...

I'm going to think about you every day.

I will keep an eye on you. Did you hear my speck?

You all know I love you with all my heart.

- Right, my speck? - Yes, Dad, I love you very much.

You know it, Emilio. Don't you?

When you get to the States, you'll have to be the man of the house,

the one who keeps an eye on the needs of those little women.

Yes, sir.

And you, speck, should do what your eldest brother asks okay?

Yes, Father.

Dad. What's going to happen to you?

I already asked you not to worry, Emilio,

that everything is going to be all right, okay?

- I have-- - Get out of here now, assholes!

Boss, we have to leave this place. I mean it.

Help me to get up. Go ahead.

- Dad. - Yes?

- Promise something to me. - Come over here. What?

Promise that you aren't going to die.

Why do you think those awful things?

Nothing like that is going to happen, my little Daniela.

Promise it to the girl, Dad. Will you?

Okay, I promise it.

Come... bye Emilio.

Let's flee, boss, because this is getting hot... I mean it.

Yes, yes, yes...

Boss, I mean it. Let's run because we'll really be in big trouble.

We'll see if that son of a bitch is going to come back.

Do it!

Let's get out of here, let's go.

Dad, this is what I wanted to show you.

So this is the role of this antenna?

- Gentlemen. - Colonel, Lieutenant.

Well, this antenna has a range of approximately five blocks.

But five blocks are too much, son. While we look for him

through one side he flees through the other one.

But I'm working on a mobile device that... well, I prefer not to talk about it yet.

What do you mean? Did you do it yourself?

Well not just me, with the whole team and the boys.

We are working on it, but it isn't ready yet.

- Very good, congratulations, son. - Thanks, Dad.

What I want to tell you...

is that Pablo Escobar is going to fall through a call.

I'm totally sure about that.

I hope so. Come, let's have a soda.

Have you heard from my mother?

Madam, why do you want to leave the country?

- Emilio? - Come, come.

It's okay, Daniela.

Hey, miss, stop it please. Hey, no more!

Do you feel more at ease?

- Okay, calm down. - All those people scared me.

Don't worry, dear, everything's going to be okay.

You hear? Did you get too scared?

- Have a nice trip. Good morning. - Hello.

- Where are you traveling? - Miami.

Okay.

Give me a second, please.

Did you see her face?

Yes, Mom. They are going to check.

Call the Ambassador of the United States immediately.

Yes, sir.

- Mrs. Patricia. - Yes?

I'm very sorry, but there is a small inconvenient with your papers.

What inconvenient?

Unfortunately minors can't travel

without being accompanied by both their parents.

The airline told Pablo Escobar's wife

that for their children to travel to the United States,

the Embassy of that country demanded that both their parents,

Patricia Urrea and Pablo Escobar should be at the airport.

Those sons of bitches gringos think you are as stupid as they are.

They won't authorize my family to leave the country until I personally

come to the international gate and sign the authorization.

What about that?

Peluche, we have to find a new apartment for my family,

where they feel at ease and safe. In the meantime we'll think

to what fucking country we are going to send them.

- All right. - What has happened with the bombs, Mole?

Why haven't they exploded? Explain that to me!

Boss, after the Vulture fucked it up like that,

it is very difficult to find dynamite.

Besides, this city is full of informants now.

But at least that bastard ended up caged, boss.

But what do you tell me about what happened to poor Cain?

Because he was knocked off, boss.

And what does that mean, Crust? What are you trying to say?

Are you shit scared or what? Do you want to give in to the police?

Tell me, because coward people are the last thing I need at my side now!

- Pablo! -Pablo my ass, Peluche! Forget it!

We are going to solve this situation once and for all!

Those who want to surrender, go ahead and do it!

Do you want to be the first one to surrender?

- You already know my position, brother. - All right. What do you say, Marino?

- Well, boss... - What? Do you want to do it?

- I'll do what you ask me to, sir. - Earring?

While I remain alive, I prefer to be free, sir.

- Mole? - I prefer to die on the street

that live locked in like a dog, boss.

Perfect. So, we don't have anymore shit to talk about.

Leave me alone!

Colonel Becerra, how are you?

Fine, fine, but call me Ramiro, please.

- Ramiro, how are you? - All right.

But what are you drinking? Soda? No, bring a beer please.

Okay brother, we feel very happy to have you here.

Well, I came because you said you had important information for the police.

We have nothing for now,

but some very pretty birds use to come to Cali and sing...

And later on we help you somehow.

Information like the one that helped you with the Vulture, for example.

The person who called you is Mauricio Restrepo, a friend,

- and a supporter of this cause. - Of this cause?

Thank you very much.

When you say a supporter of this cause, what do you mean?

The PEPES, like you?

Listen, Ramiro.

From the President down we all are PEPES.

We all want Pablo dead or in jail, brother.

No, no...wait a moment gentlemen. You can't put me inside the same bag!

Well, but if you attended the meeting is

because you are interested in our proposal, aren't you?

Relax, we aren't going to ask you anything in exchange,

just to let us help you, that's all.

Listen, the intelligence we can get can't be reached by the police.

Colonel Pabón is unwilling to accept any information

for the Search Bloc that comes from you.

Ramiro, the gringos are helping him. Why can't we do it, man?

We aren't asking Colonel Pabón to be the contact, we're asking you.

Think about it, brother.

It would be a good idea for some of us to surrender, including you.

Look, I'm not saying this to bother you but because I really believe so.

We are indeed in a jam from which it is very difficult to get out.

No matter how much money we can get or how many bombs we can put,

we won't be able to make it against the Police or the PEPES.

Yes, we will, Peluche. We have always done it.

We wanted to stop being poor, and we made it.

We wanted to master 85% of the cocaine business in the world

and we made it, we wanted to kill a presidential candidate and we made it.

We wanted this fucking country to kneel before us and we made it.

We wanted to have our own prison, and we made it!

What do you mean we can't make it? Of course we can!

But until when, brother? Until when?

Until all of us are dead?

Pablo, we are still on time, brother. We will be better if we surrender.

I know you are right, Peluche,

but I'm not going to surrender.

Go ahead and do it,

because having you in there will be very convenient,

you're going to have the chance

to talk to the Motoa brothers.

They are still our allies, they still have access to the information

and political tools to solve this problem.

I think that the Crust and Marino should surrender with me,

because they are scared.

All right. Go ahead then and surrender with them.

I'll stay out with Mole,

whom I'm going to make my power shield,

and with Earring and Citric,

who is already becoming my own shadow.

Brother, we used to be winners

because we had money and people who helped us,

but everybody betrayed us, Pablo.

Think about it, will you? Think about it.

You perfectly know how Pablo is, Mother.

Talk to him, you are the only person he listens to.

Oh, if only that would be it,

but you perfectly know what he's going to do.

Why don't you tell me?

Are you going to continue this awful violence or what? Tell me!

Pablo is worried about the family, about Patty, the children.

He feels that with them in here he won't be able to develop the war.

Develop the war! What about that?

If that happens, she can't travel to the States anyway.

Where could she go? To what country?

Alone and with those children without knowing any foreign language?

It's clear that she can't move from here.

I know that, Mother, but go and talk to him, will you?

Visit him, don't abandon him.

He's getting more lonely each time, Mother.

And do you know why is he getting more lonely each time?

Just look at everything that's happening.

Why is he so stubborn?

Explain something to me, Peluche, because I don't understand it.

Why are you going to surrender and he's not? What is he going to do? Tell me.

I don't know, Mother.

All I know is that he isn't going to surrender losing the war.

- That's what he says. - Oh yeah? Assuming that will be it,

what is your brother going to do to win the war?

What does he think? Fill this country with bombs or what?

Tell me and don't say you don't know because I know you know, Peluche, tell me.

I don't know, Mother, believe me.

All I know is that I am here to say goodbye,

because I'm going to jail,

and because I want to ask you to be with my brother.

Not because you haven't, but because he has been alone.

Really, Mother.

I breastfed you both, and have been at your side all the time.

Or do you think I've left you alone?

Or that I've left Pablo alone?

People criticize and judge me for being at your side.

That doesn't bother me.

Listen, Peluche, I think it's good that you're going to surrender.

Have courage, have faith,

may the Virgin protect you, the Holy Child of Atocha accompany you.

I'm glad you did this.

I'm not going to leave you alone either.

In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, amen.

Three drug traffickers are already thinking to surrender,

- including Escobar's, brother. - Who are the other two?

Alias Marino and alias Crust.

What about Escobar?

I thought the door to Escobar's surrender was closed.

A negotiation is closed.

That man will never make demands to us, but he could always surrender to justice.

Well, the only thing these three men are asking

is to be confined in the Itagüí jail where the Motoa brothers are.

President, that's not a big concession and is indeed a great victory for us.

All right, let them do it.

I'll immediately inform.

Minister,

we need to capture Pablo Escobar, as I've just said,

he'll always have the chance to surrender, but it will never be the same.

Well, all signals he has sent us

indicate that surrendering is not in his plans.

So what's going on? What does the Search Bloc say?

We have the best American and local tracking technology,

the collaboration from all of Escobar's former partners

and intelligence work throughout the city. It's a matter of time, Mr. President.

Ismael, Pablo Escobar is making me experience the worst of nightmares.

We need to attack before he wakes up and attacks us.

Yes, Mr. President, that will be done. Excuse me.

Breaking news!

Three important men from the Medellín Cartel

have just surrendered to justice:

alias Marino, alias Crust and Alberto Escobar Gaviria,

who will remain confined in the high security jail in Itagüí.

In the meantime, the country is still waiting

for the capture or surrender of the Medellín Cartel's leader,

Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria.

APRIL 15, 1993

Colonel?

Tell me now, son.

We've been tracking a series of very sensitive conversations.

What do you mean sensitive? How come?

The tracking order shows words such as...

dynamite, attempt and explosions.

What do you mean, Martin? Another bomb?

I think it is quite possible, Major.

But could you trace any calls?

Not exactly, colonel, because the calls didn't last more than three minutes.

And terrorism gets hold of the country again.

A car bomb with more than 100 kilograms of explosives

burst in one of the busiest areas in the capital of the Republic,

with a tragic balance of 11 dead and hundreds wounded.

The car bomb exploded exactly at 2h30 this afternoon.

As you can see, there is great damage,

the police are at this moment trying to estimate the number of fatalities.

Unofficial information reports that at least ten people

with serious wounds have been transferred

to several hospitals of the capital of the Republic.

The number of wounded people is near 80 and about six casualties.

There are also several wounded children

and they all are being treated in city hospitals.

The DAI anti-explosive unit is conducting investigations

to establish the size of the bomb, its target, etc.

Debris is being removed, at this moment,

and District entities are doing their best

to ensure the population

gets the basic public services back at least during the night.

Terrorist attacks by Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel

don't stop despite the Search Bloc's constant pursuit.

Colombia continues to experience its worst terrorist wave

caused by the worst lunatic ever born in this country.

Boss, Peluche got this device for you.

He said it is a gift from the Motoas but that you shouldn't use it.

That's typical of Peluche.

He's the only one who gives me

a satellite phone and expects that I'm not going to use it.

- He doesn't want them to track you. - Track? What do you mean, Citric?

You know that calls can only be tracked after three minutes.

I never spend more than that on the phone.

You are right, boss.

How did you like the bomb we put on those bastards?

It was cool, boss! You know I've always trusted you.

Yes, and wait and see because the second round is coming soon.

- What do you mean, boss? - Just what you heard.

- Okay, move because we are leaving. - Where, sir?

We are going to use this toy for the first time.

Do you know Mole's phone number?

- I do, boss. - All right, let's go.

That guy is a moron.

Well, that stupid guy works for Pablo Escobar.

Oh yeah? And how close is he to Pablo's circle?

He is a bodyguard of Escobar's best man.

He is not good, brother. I need someone from Pablo's close circle.

Listen, Ramiro, if you want to catch the big shot,

you better start with second-rate workers. Follow my advice.

And according to you, who is the big shot? C'mon tell me.

The one responsible for the latest explosions.

Earring?

No, I already have that one on the lookout.

Long time ago.

You are giving me a second-rate man

while you catch the big shot, don't you?

The best job is done by yourself, and the worst isn't.

All right, go ahead and do everything yourselves.

I'm leaving, gentlemen. Excuse me.

Colonel,

this is a guy that, with little pressure, will lead us to Escobar's military head.

Well, that was good, wasn't it?

The problem is that I have to start working.

- Don't disappear. - No, sir, don't worry.

Wait!

Here's a small token and please close the door.

- Thank you. - Aren't you forgetting something?

Hello? Hi, boss? Are you all right?

A bombshell in Cartagena, boss?

Well... yes.

That sounds very good,

and I would like to stay there for one week so I'd get a tan.

All right.

- Who are those men? - Which men?

In those cars, look!

Speed it, Cucho. I'm sure those men are PEPES.

Run, run.

- Go ahead, faster! - Faster! Watch it!

Start the car, brother, start it!

- Do you have more ammunition? - No, none. What shall we do?

Let's start praying then because this is the last one I have left.

No, you know what, brother? Let's go to the police station.

- What? - Don't ask, brother.

- Let's go to the station! - No!

If we don't, these men will kill us. Get going!

- Which apartment? - 601.

You better don't lie, jerk. Do you want me to kill you?

- Do you want me to kill you right here? - 602.

They don't mind the procedures. They want us to give results.

Stop!

Easy, easy. I came to surrender.

Hands behind your back! Hands behind your back!

Help me.

I don't understand why the hell you wonder why I am calling you, Mr. Santorini.

You've been my political adviser from the beginning.

I've never been your adviser, sir.

Oh yeah? Are you in the future going to say that you never met me

and never came to the Naples Ranch and never received money from me?

Forget it, Mr. Santorini and you better thank I'm calling you

from a street phone and not from the satellite one

because this fucking call could have been tracked.

I have absolutely nothing to hide.

How did you and your government

like the little bombs that exploded in this country?

Do you still think that Mr. Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria

- is quite intimidated or what? - Listen, sir. I have to hang up.

Be very careful with what you are saying, and with me, sir.

Listen, Mr. Escobar, I have important things to do.

I don't understand why you are calling me.

The truth is that sometimes I also like to directly call Satan

- and ask him for advice. - Surrender.

Don't tell me what I have to say or answer anything,

because I haven't asked you anything yet!

That would solve all your problems.

Do you think, Mr. Santorini, that I'm going to be that stupid

to hand myself on a plate at a garrison so those savage

and cruel military will assassinate me?

Nobody is going to kill you. The army would protect you.

You perfectly know that the Criminal National Army

tried to kill me once.

Well, I can't do anything to convince you. I can't make you change your mind.

Why don't you rather explain to me why your corrupt government

doesn't dare to pursue the men from Cali?

Why don't they pursue the Moreno brothers' paramilitary beasts?

Why everybody is convinced that the only criminal in Colombia is

Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria?

I'm not the government, sir. I'm simply advising you to surrender.

I thought you knew me much better, Mr. Santorini.

Answer what I'm going to ask you:

do you think that after that terrorism and bombing the country has suffered,

Mr. Cesar Gaviria will sit to negotiate with me

or will I have to give him another little push?

President Gaviria is not going to negotiate with you after you escaped.

That possibility was closed forever,

even if you put a bomb to the Congress of the Republic itself.

Look, Mr. Santorini, don't invoke the devil because he may show up.

Do you know you are giving me a good idea?

What a traitor, hypocrite, and liar!

Boss, I was listening to the news and they said something very serious.

- What happened? - They killed the Mole too, boss.

Those are nothing but lies of those announcers. Just lies!

And that's not the worst, boss. Earring surrendered to the police.

What do you mean he surrendered? How?

This is getting very hot, boss. Let's leave this place, boss.

Yes, let's get out of here.
