HE WHO DOES NOT KNOW HISTORY IS DOOMED TO REPEAT IT

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

Madam, you need to relax. I examined you

and there are no signs of labor yet.

That's unbelievable, Doctor, my water broke,

and I was completely drenched.

Don't worry, everything is okay.

- Passengers with destination Lima, - The plane had to turn around.

- please board at gate ten. - It shouldn't have.

- Look... - Do you think I invented the pain?

No, of course not. Calm down.

Although she wasn't having contractions, after such a sharp pain,

I advise that you don't travel.

You're right, Doctor. Thank you very much!

I'm very lucky you were here!

Madam, I advise you to stay,

so you can go to a hospital if you feel any more symptoms.

- Of course. - She isn't permitted to travel anyway.

I'm very sorry, madam. But the airline has asked us

not to let you get on any other planes.

Do you think I want to use that airline again?

No, thank you!

It's best if you stay.

Doctor, I'm really grateful!

It's a blessing to have met you!

It was a pleasure, madam.

It's a shame I can't say the same about everyone else.

Are you afraid, dear?

You know this is a game, don't you?

My love.

Passengers with destination Quito, please board at gate six.

How are you, miss?

Good.

Okay, will you please give me two tickets for the next flight to Panama?

I'm going to fall!

Mum is going to shout at you!

If you don't hold on, she'll scold me!

What's up, guys?

Wake up!

Fuck you, Herbert.

I caught you red-handed!

What's wrong? Did I scare you? Welcome!

You're alive! What's up, Pablo?

Are you tired?

Welcome!

Relax, it's all over.

How were the waves? Rough?

Well, we have something here to help you relax.

A girl, to help the sea sickness pass.

Let's go.

Gonzalo, you can't take a joke.

Fuck off. It was a stupid joke.

Fuck off.

You had me scared. But you finally saw the light again.

Are you happy? Let's go.

The special guests have arrived!

How are you?

- Good. - How was it?

- Tiring. - I can tell, come on in.

Have a drink, eat something. Come on in.

What's up, Pablo?

How are you?

How are you, Mauricio?

Did my wife get in contact with you?

Did she call? I imagine they're in Caracas already.

Well, I'm a bit worried, Pablo, because the phone hasn't rang at all.

Are you serious, Mauricio?

Give me the phone.

Hey, cool it! I was kidding.

Look at me.

I don't need to forgive you for anything.

Nothing.

My love.

Let's go and wake up Emilio, okay?

You need to think about where you'll go.

You can't stay here, it's too dangerous.

Everyone here knows who you are.

I know!

- It's for your own good. - Okay!

- Let me relax and think, go away. - Fine!

Fine, bye.

She's a pain in the ass.

What's going on?

- What is it? - They're entering!

Watch it.

Good day.

How are you?

- How are you, young lady? - Good, thank you.

I didn't know you lived here.

Yes. What can I do for you?

I'm going to search your house.

- Right now? - Yes.

What is your name?

Jairo Jiménez.

- Captain Jiménez... - Colonel Jairo Jiménez.

Coronel Jairo Jiménez, when you knocked on my door,

- I was in my room with a client. - Just two minutes.

Take a walk, I'll wait here for you.

Okay? Go ahead.

- Is your friend here? - What friend?

The one you protected last night.

No, Colonel, you've got it all wrong.

Hey, what are you doing!

What about respecting my intimacy?

See? No one is here.

Rather distrustful, eh?

- Yes. - Tough guy.

Sir.

Get up.

Friend!

Get up.

What is your name?

- Look at me! - Carlos Moreno.

Excuse me, Mr. Moreno.

Baby, I'm coming back, the police are just doing their job.

I'm sorry to upset you.

Don't worry.

If you need anything, you can count on me.

- And? - All clear, Colonel.

Let's go.

Traveling is fun,

but not when you're forced to do it.

Pablo, you weren't satisfied until you had your way.

See? You have us stealing bases.

I mean it. Look at us, in exile.

Even the President is accusing us.

It hit us all at once.

Stop complaining so much. You sound like a sissy.

Relax!

Relax? What do you mean?

This is really serious. We are in big trouble.

Yes, I know.

We are in trouble, but at least the Minister isn't here to fuck up our lives.

Exactly.

You all are right,

but we need to find a solution to this situation.

Mr. Mauricio has been very kind,

and very generous,

by welcoming us into his home, but we can't live in Panama forever.

Nobody is going to stay here, Gonzalo.

Listen, gentlemen.

If we have to stay in Panama until things calm down,

you can count on me!

The only problem would be if we ran out of girls, Pedro.

As an enterprise, I'm asking you a favor, to show a more...

As professionals would say, a more proactive attitude.

Proactive?

What is that? Explain.

I didn't understand either.

We need to find a way

to get close to the President, Mr. de la Cruz,

in order to offer him a negotiation, including our total

and unconditional surrender.

The instructions are to search every house,

every store,

ask all neighbors, everybody who knows them.

As you order, Colonel.

Dismissed.

Colonel, I know you're taking care of me,

but I'd like to go home to be with my son.

Listen, Fabiola.

If you don't cooperate, you'll be in trouble,

I'll get you into trouble.

You could go to jail.

And your son?

Do you want him to be alone?

No...

Look.

What you're doing is called obstruction of justice,

which is punishable.

You're young.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to spoil what you've already achieved?

Don't be stupid. Cooperate.

This is madness. Explain yourself, Pablo.

Wait one moment.

I don't understand.

Why are we looking for a negotiation if we are running away?

Mariachi is right.

Tell me, Pablo.

With who are we going to negotiate, and for what?

What are you talking about?

You want us to surrender to the police?

No, I'm not talking about surrendering, but negotiating.

And not with the National Police, but with the National Government.

No! How? Negotiate what?

Why?

One must make the most of the opportunities and power in life.

We have just shown them that we're capable of killing a Minister,

and this is very serious for the National Government.

It is a lot more serious for us. Look at where we are.

Anyone who prides himself on being decent

prefers to negotiate a peaceful solution over the cowardly sacrifice

of innocent people.

And go back to prison? Fuck that.

We won't go to jail. I'm talking about a negotiation.

A negotiation? Those politicians may be crooks,

but they're not stupid.

My idea is to propose to the Government that we stop working,

we keep all the accumulated capital,

and we don't spend a day of our lives in any of this country's prisons.

Listen to this asshole!

Have you gone crazy, Pablo?

I'm supposed to be the crazy one!

We keep the money and nothing happens to us!

- It's Chili. - Who?

Chili, Mole's friend.

He was in the house last night when you arrived.

Why didn't we see him?

Because he escaped.

He left with Mole.

He's Mireya's brother. She's the one who was celebrating her birthday.

Is your friend here?

What friend?

Get up!

What is your name?

- Look at me. - Carlos Moreno.

You know what? We'll talk later. Bye.

Problems with people from Medellín.

What? Are you okay? Do you need something?

Is your telephone safe to use?

Of course it is.

Nobody will ever tap it.

Do you need it? Relax, trust me.

You can make national and international calls.

Thank you, Mauricio.

Pablo, when you are done with that,

come find me and we'll talk. I need to ask you a favor.

- Of course, thank you. - Okay.

Hello?

Hello, my panther! How are you?

Why aren't you here facing the authorities?

Wait one moment, my queen.

You're accusing me of something I didn't do.

Those are just lies, false accusations, I've got nothing to do with that.

I haven't done anything!

Really?

That is exactly why I'm calling you.

I need a person of high rank

who can contact the President of the Republic,

to propose a serious meeting with the National Government.

I know you have very important and influential connections in this country.

Who do you think could help me?

Alfonso López is in Panama.

I'll call him.

President,

I understand you and Torrijos were friends.

I imagine his death affected you a lot.

Yes, Raúl, it really did.

He was a very intelligent man.

He had no education but...

he had an amazing innate knowledge and political intuition.

Do you think his death was an accident or an attack?

We'll never know.

Just like the others.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Hello?

Will you excuse me for one moment? Thank you.

But why is he looking for me?

If he wants to give himself up to the police, he should just do it.

He wants a guarantor, and you're in Panama.

Do you think that's a serious proposal?

Listen, this is a delicate issue.

Let me think it over, we'll talk later.

I'll have to talk to the President first.

Fabiola, please cooperate. Why are you making things difficult?

You have the information.

What's wrong?

Are you scared?

Tell me.

I already told you everything.

You haven't told me anything.

You won't be helping me. You'll be helping your country,

the people, and the victims.

Get rid of that criminal husband of yours!

Is that the father you want for your son? A criminal? A murderer?

Do you?

Fabiola, just answer me one thing:

who is Mole's boss?

Just tell me that.

Pablo Escobar.

Who?

Mole works for Pablo Escobar.

Are you sure?

Yes, sir.

Very good.

Listen, Pablo. Do you think this is going to turn out well?

Of course, Pedro.

Look how quickly things have worked out.

It was only a few days ago that we were just thinking about

the possibility of negotiating.

And now look at us; we're here in Panama, ready to negotiate.

You're right.

Things have worked out well.

And with a former President.

That's how it should be, Pedro.

We, as an organization,

had to show the National Government that this was a serious proposal.

And the only way we could make them take us seriously

was to send a message through a former President, not just anybody.

I hope he knows how to convey the message well,

because our future depends on it.

Don't worry, Pedro. You can count on it.

This is what we're going to do:

you stay here. I don't want you to leave.

I'll ask someone to bring your mother and son, okay?

No, sir. If you want, I'll travel to Bogotá tomorrow.

But now I want to go home to get my son and my mother.

Well, I can't retain you.

If you want to leave, you can.

I'll be back from Bogotá tomorrow, and I'll personally...

protect you, your mother and your son, okay?

But Mole won't come back. He knows you're after him.

Do you know who those people are?

A bunch of crooks, of murderers! Pablo Escobar is a criminal!

They don't care about anything, Fabiola.

Relax.

Trust me.

Don't you feel a bit nervous?

About what?

Stand up, he's coming.

Mr. President, a pleasure. Pedro Motoa.

- How are you? - Very well, thank you.

I'd like to introduce you...

A pleasure, Mr. President. Pablo Escobar.

- We've met... - I understand you have a proposal

for the President. Am I right?

Yes, sir.

And you want me to convey it to him.

Yes, sir.

Let's go up.

- He is the lord of arrogance. - How are you, gentlemen?

Come in.

How are the kids, Nancy?

We're getting by, Mr. Guillermo.

They're very nice.

Let's hope one of them becomes a politician.

Politics is the last thing I want to talk about right now.

I hope everything goes well for you in Spain,

with your new job.

Yes.

I hope everything goes well at the Embassy.

The President was more than generous.

Everything will go well for you in Spain.

There are many people who can help you there.

Besides, being in Europe,

so far away, will help you a lot,

and especially the kids.

I'm doing it for them,

to keep them away from everything that happened to Rodrigo.

Nancy, do it for yourself,

to be far away from here,

to cure the big pain you have...

in your soul.

Mr. Guillermo, I...

I came by to say goodbye, but...

above all, I came...

to say thank you.

Thank you for all the support you gave Rodrigo.

It meant a lot to our family.

Rodrigo was always very grateful to you, and your newspaper.

Nancy,

we are all going to miss Rodrigo.

I will.

But especially...

this country, who really needs him.

Rodrigo...

Rodrigo always admired your courage.

And the way you supported him in the newspaper.

The feeling is mutual.

I wish you a good trip.

Thank you, Mr. Guillermo, for everything.

Write me, okay?

- Come in, please. - Thank you very much.

The proposal we have for you,

is a serious proposal,

a committed proposal,

and above all, an honest proposal.

Well.

The fact...

that you want to surrender to justice,

implies that you ordered Minister Lara Bonilla to be killed.

No, sir, you're wrong. It's not like that.

That's precisely why I wanted to come here and talk to you,

because we are the first ones to reject

and condemn the vile and cowardly assassination of the Minister of Justice.

His death has caused us many problems.

For example, I had to take my son out of school,

and my wife, who is in an advanced stage of pregnancy,

had to flee the country, as if she were a criminal.

All rights have been violated, and not just mine and my family's,

but also those of my partners,

and Pedro's.

They've been deprived of due process. They've been disrespected

and forced to flee the country.

Do you think my organization is stupid enough to commit such a crime?

As if we weren't aware of the consequences?

I say this with honesty, sir,

we may be crooks, but we aren't stupid,

and we're convinced that the Minister of Justice's murder

is the total responsibility of the USA and the DEA's Governments.

You'll have to excuse me,

but that's very difficult to believe.

Listen, sir. After murdering the Minister of Justice,

the United States Government and the DEA

have achieved what they always wanted: the Colombian police and authorities

pursued us, intimidated us, and got us to leave the country,

and that's why we are here.

Wait.

You expect me to believe...

that a US agency ordered the assassination

of the Colombian Minister of Justice? No way!

Sir,

let's not digress from the point of this conversation.

What we are offering is a serious and very important proposal.

All I've been told

is that you're going to surrender to justice,

and that I just have to guarantee your safety.

That's all.

You're right, sir.

But you should also think about the fact that I'm basically offering you

an end to the war in Colombia.

And the end of drug trafficking on our part.

We're willing to hand over the laboratories,

the routes, and most importantly,

to pay back to the country, all of the capital

that we as an organization have invested overseas.

Does that mean you're willing to surrender to justice?

Of course!

We're willing to be judged in our country,

by Colombian justice.

If any of us are proven guilty, we'll assume the consequences.

If we're sentenced, then so be it.

All we ask is to go on trial in Colombia, and we won't be sent to the United States.

I also think it's be very important to let the president know

that the capital we're willing to refund

will be enough to pay Colombia's foreign debt.

And I think he should get this message.

All right! Supposing the Government accepts your proposal,

would you be willing to keep your word?

No!

Do you want to know what I miss the most?

What?

- Your mum. - My mother is quite a character.

It was very smart, that idea of hers,

for you to pretend your water broke so the plane would have to emergency land.

Yes. But she can't take all the credit!

- I know. - What a great actress I am!

Pablo, sorry to interrupt, but there is an important call for you.

Yes?

Of course I understand you, Mr. Attorney General.

We'll be waiting for your news.

We hope it'll be good news for everyone involved.

All right, sir. Thank you very much.

What did the Attorney General say?

He insists that the conditions

for a peace negotiation are a given,

and that he trusts he can convince the Government to agree to it.

That's awesome, Pablo!

That's fucking brilliant!

Please keep it confidential until we announce it.

Why did you reveal the information to a journalist?

I told Mariano,

a journalist's relative.

Of course, Mr. President. Excuse me.

Dr. McAllister, how are you?

Hello.

You won't believe the information I was just told by Mr. President.

We have a new front page.

El Tiempo! El Tiempo!

The Government is negotiating with drug dealers!

El Tiempo! El Espectador!

El Tiempo!

We've been scooped, Mr. Guillermo.

But as you say, you win some, you lose some.

No, Niky.

This isn't just any old news, nor is it a scoop.

This is...

This is the height of the cynicism

and the impertinence of the Government,

and what is more,

the former President served as a mediator.

Niky, this is the last straw.

I've just spoken to Pablo.

What did he say?

That these are political issues,

that have nothing to do with me nor you.

Did you tell him about the problem that Mole and I have?

He said Nápoles is empty.

You and Mole can go there.

The captain will be waiting for you.

- What captain? - What do you mean?

Of the airplane, idiot.

Who else?

Do you remember the plane was there after the cops arrived?

Airplane...

Is the boss planning to send us somewhere, or what?

You're going to Panama.

Things are getting tough here, and Pablo doesn't want you around.

So, go.

Go get your girlfriend and go to Nápoles.

Now! You understand?

What's wrong?

I'll have to wait because Mole isn't in.

He's out doing a job.

What do you mean? What job?

- What's up, Fabiola? - Hi, Carola, how are you?

- Good, and you? - Have a good day.

You too.

Come with me.

Why haven't you called?

Don't hurt me, Mole.

I'm not going to do anything.

Are you tortured by sins, or something?

What?

You're a sin!

Besides, Pablo Escobar...

What Pablo Escobar?

Erase this name from your mind now.

You know what? I believe you.

I'm going to believe you.

But just in case.

Mole!

My face!

My face!

Following the information published by El Tiempo,

regarding the negotiation between the Government

and the Medellín Cartel,

President de la Cruz spoke...

Mr. President!

Is it true that the Government is negotiating with the Medellín Cartel?

That information is completely false.

This Government is not searching for any form of negotiation.

It's simply...

the members of the Medellín Cartel

meeting in order to consider surrendering to justice.

Meanwhile, El Espectador's director, Mr. Guillermo Cano,

who always backed the recently assassinated Minister of Justice,

Rodrigo Lara Bonilla,

severely attacked the former President in his recent leading article.

That makes no sense at all, Mr. Attorney General!

How's it possible that after you and I met and practically wrote the text together,

and changed conditions, clauses, whatever you asked me to do,

you call to say the Government deprived you of authority

and annulled the negotiation? That makes no sense, sir!

Pablo.

No!

You've got it all wrong, sir.

The information being leaked to the press has nothing to do with me.

That's the National Government's negligence, not mine!

I thought we were talking to serious,

decent people, who were committed to this country,

but if you want a wild, infuriated Pablo,

extensive bloodshed, for us to burn down your houses,

and cause a chaos in this country, don't worry, you can count on it,

Mr. Attorney General. Thank you very much!

What is it now?

This is all fucked up.

It's not all bad.

It's coming.

What?

The water broke.

What water?

- Fuck off, Pablo! - What?

Paty!

The baby is coming.

Paty? My baby is coming?

- Yes. - Right now.

Congratulations.

Patricia!

I don't know anything!

Freeze! National Police!

Drop the weapon! On the floor!

- Hey, guys! - Gonzalo!

How are you?

Pablo!

Welcome!

How are you?

Well?

My friend! How are you?

What's up, Pablo?

- How are you? - Very well.

My friend!

We missed you a lot.

Why did you disappear for so long?

We didn't disappear.

We were just giving you time to be with and enjoy your family.

How is the baby?

She is very well.

She's very well, very pretty, growing.

We'll have to organize a family party so I can introduce her.

I hope so, sir.

I'm sure you didn't call us here for a party.

It's something serious, guys.

Do me a favor and sit down.

Pablo, what do you mean by serious?

Explain yourself Pablo, I don't like your cousin's tone of voice.

Problems, or what?

I think the best thing is for you

to see for yourselves what Peluche sent me from Colombia.

Breaking news. The Extradition Treaty between Colombia and the United States

has been activated

by the deportation of two recently captured individuals in Medellín.

The authorities were initially following three drug traffickers,

but Albarracín Romero escaped the police siege.

The Government and the Minister of Justice,

Ernesto Chacón, a member of the New Liberalism,

who has openly stated his commitment

to continue the President's fight against drug trafficking

by extraditing its members,

have considered the event as conclusive.

I know them.

They're just a couple of slackers.

They've just started doing little jobs.

Don't pay attention to them!

That guy used to be my partner.

The wolf was watching until he caught us!

Boys, we're talking about being extradited to the USA,

and forgotten in a jail for the rest of our lives!

Guys...

Pablo, we can't let this happen to any of us.

We have to do something right away.

I don't understand why you're so surprised.

They've been after us for a long time and more now

that we killed the Minister.

Mariachi, this is real!

We're going to be sent to the United States, you jackass!

Listen, Herbert.

All I know is that the extradition to the United States is a reality.

And we need to think about what we're going to do.

Exactly!

Pablo,

I know you.

When you ask a question, you usually have the answer.

Stop fucking around. Out with it.

What do you think?

Well, it's simple.

The Medellín Cartel must return to Colombia right away.

A black coffee, please.

We're really sorry for interrupting you this morning.

But...

We're interested in learning information about your activity as a pilot...

to the service of the Colombian drug cartels.

I think you're confusing me with someone else.

I work as a pilot,

but I carry other types of cargo that are legal.

Look, Mr. Harry,

I have all the time in the world to listen to your stories.

Now it's time for you to decide where you want to end up:

in jail because of your little Colombian friends,

or...

enjoying your wife and your children

in a place where nobody can find you,

because there is something you can't deny:

you're a drug trafficker.

I tried marijuana once, and I didn't even inhale.

Think about it, Mr. Harry.

Think about it.

It's always a shame when I see a compatriot

in prison because they didn't want to talk

about a drug trafficker's cartel in Colombia.

Think about it.

You're going to take me to the Medellín Cartel.

Okay, confirmed.

We'll see you there.

Guys, it's confirmed.

My lawyer has just told me that no legal process

has been filed against the Motoa brothers in Colombia.

There was something that involved cattle smuggling, but it's already been filed.

That was ages ago.

I'll believe that when pigs fly!

Me too!

I haven't been summoned by my country,

on the contrary, everyone loves me!

We haven't either.

The problem with the Minister of Justice's death

is that the Medellin Cartel has been blamed for it.

But there are no warrants for arrest, no proofs. So let's not worry about it.

But what would happen if they tried to involve us?

Let them try it!

At this moment, none of the Colombian authorities are able

to arrest or issue a warrant of arrest

against any of us, because as Pedro just said,

there is not even one official criminal case against us.

Wait, Pablo.

It seems that everyone in here is a saint.

I want to make one thing clear.

I have to be careful,

the Gringos have been after me for a while.

Keep that in mind.

I know and I understand, Herbert, but we are all in the same situation.

The most important thing is that we're able to protect ourselves.

We need to win the police and army authorities over.

It's not as easy as you say, Pablo.

What shall we do? How can we do that?

The way you solve all problems in life, Julio.

With money.

We're getting in contact

with an army colonel whose last name is Pedregal,

and works in Antioquia.

He is a very important person with very good contacts.

We've also been informed about a police major in Quindío who could help us.

Mariachi, please start doing intelligence work

that'll let me know which authorities can be corrupted

and will collaborate in Cundinamarca.

That's easy.

It's already in progress.

We already made a big capital investment.

Now we're going to need each one of you to collaborate.

A million dollars per capita!

You can count on my million dollars, on the condition that you assure me

that I will be protected, and not pursued by the police.

Yes. What we should do now is stop wasting our time hiding,

spending money, and worse of all, not producing.

We must return to Colombia and face the situation.

They are infuriated. Perfect.

We are going to show Colombia that the Medellín Cartel is still alive,

and is much more powerful than before.

That's it!
