THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THEIR HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

Stop here and we'll see how these clients are, boys.

- Guys. - Good afternoon.

- Come here, Fistface. - Yes, sir.

- How's everything, son? - Fine, sir.

Did you get me those guards I asked you for tonight?

Yes, sir.

- They won't have any problems? - No, sir.

All right then.

Who has buffalos in his ranch?

- You. - Yes.

Will you please come down? The brunch is served.

We'll be there soon.

Not soon, right now.

- What other animals--? - Hey, let's go eat.

- Are you hungry? - No.

It's time for her to eat.

- Why don't you let us-- - The cheese bread is getting cold.

Come, dear. Come on.

But why, Patricia?

Here he comes!

Did anyone bring a camera?

- He's coming. - Okay, ready.

Didn't anyone bring a camera?

I want to take a picture.

Happy birthday, Daddy.

Surprise!

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Pablo

Happy birthday to you

And that motorcycle? Is that for me or what?

Of course, buddy.

This is really something.

Be careful with this beast.

Remember what happened to Jerson, okay?

Fidel, my dear Fidel.

It was hard to get you to come celebrate with us.

We are happy because we are celebrating the birthday of this fantastic man,

this handsome son, this generous man.

I hope the Holy Child of Atocha will always protect him

and Mary will cover him with her robe.

Thank you, Mother.

Happy birthday, Pablo.

- Make a wish. - Done.

All right!

Get on the bike.

I want to ride it too.

Enjoy it,

you know how to use it.

The cops are here! The cops are here!

Won't you tell me where you're going?

No, Javier.

It's not like I don't want to tell you.

I just don't know where I'm going.

Then you are packing your bags but you don't know where you are going.

I don't know where I'm going.

All I know is that I'm leaving with the love of my life.

Be very careful, Yessi.

Do you know who you are messing with?

Don't worry, okay? Help me with that.

Instead of giving me a lecture,

give me a hug, okay?

Take good care of yourself.

I'm going to miss you very much.

Do you want me to take you to the bus terminal?

That's the truth, Your Honor.

My client is going to defend himself from the drug traffic charges, Your Honor.

That's totally false and we will prove it, Your Honor.

Everyone in this country knows that Pedro Motoa is a drug trafficker

and a member of the Medellín Cartel.

That's why we are in a courtroom, Secretary.

To demonstrate what you've just said.

What's more, and you it know too,

that the purpose of such accusation is to prevent the extradition of

Pedro Motoa to the U.S.

Your Honor,

I came to this hearing

to demonstrate that these attorneys

are playing with the penal system of this country.

And you shouldn't fall into that trap, Your Honor.

We are only defending our client.

Then defend him in the U.S., where the evidence is.

Besides, there is a homicide accusation against your client.

Homicide?

You heard me, attorney.

Don't discredit your career with the dirty tricks you're playing.

Your Honor, they want to make fun of you, me and the whole country.

Withdraw that accusation from Pedro Motoa

and let him be judged in the U.S.

That's your obligation.

She's waiting for you there.

Get this over with.

You know what, Chili? I can't, brother.

Marino, I'll give you a piece of advice.

You should solve this problem once and for all.

You don't understand, Mole.

I don't have the heart to do it.

So you only know how to kill men, or what?

Marino, will you stop being a chicken, or what?

Will you act like a man and take her out?

- I'll help him out. - Stay where you are.

Will you do what the boss said or what?

Yesenia.

Honey!

I'm so happy.

I was really scared.

Relax, baby. You will be okay.

Where's your suitcase?

What suitcase, love? I was in a big hurry.

I'll buy clothes later.

Jason, are you okay?

Why are your hands sweating so much?

Are you nervous?

Jason.

That fool won't do it.

- Are you backing out or what? - Forgive me, honey.

Forgive you for what? What's going on?

Hurry up, pal!

That was easy, wasn't it?

Well, Pablo.

You don't need to worry about this ranch's security anymore.

I practically have everything covered.

Thank you very much, Miguel.

I can tell you understand how important this ranch is for me

and for the members of my family.

This is our meeting point and celebration place,

so it's important for me that they feel comfortable in the place,

because they love it here.

I'm glad you like it.

And happy birthday. Better late than never.

Thank you.

I got lost in thought and I forgot.

A question, Pablo.

How is Pedro's situation?

What are you planning to do?

Well, the Secretary is messing us up.

If it was up to him, he'd extradite him tomorrow.

We are doing the impossible to protect the guy.

Well, your men would do the same for you, wouldn't they?

I hope so.

I think it's time to change our strategy, Miguel.

Killing people works, it works very good.

That's a good way to put pressure,

but I think we have to push the Government harder.

Do you have anything in mind?

Listen, Pablo.

I think I've proved you can trust me.

Yes, Miguel, I know I can.

But, with all due respect,

I'm worried about your brother Lucio.

I'm the one who makes the decisions in here.

I'm in charge here.

The man just hasn't overcome the old man's death.

That's all, it's natural.

But I'll take care of him too. I'm a man of his word, Pablo.

You don't have to worry, man.

Well,

I think the next step in this process

is kidnapping important people.

Good morning, the most important news today comes from Medellín.

A judge in that city decided to close the ongoing investigation for drug trafficking

against Pedro Motoa,

arguing there's insufficient evidence to justify that accusation.

In the meantime, the alleged member of the Medellín Cartel,

requested for extradition by the U.S.,

continues to be imprisoned in Bogota's Picota prison

for illegal cattle importation.

One more month.

- One month. - Just one month, I promise.

Meanwhile, the Government headed by Secretary Francisco Moreno

keeps looking for a way

to extradite Motoa to the U.S.

Equally, with a sculpture in his honor, a moving homage is being paid

to the journalist Guillermo Cano, who was murdered a year ago today.

A new press release will be issued in half an hour.

I bet you one million pesos that Motoa won't be extradited.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Then bet five.

This is a strategy of the Medellín people to take Motoa out of jail

before the order to extradite him to the U.S. arrives.

- Okay, I'll go with five. - You lost them already.

In fact, with that money I'll pay the man who takes the car to Medellín.

Here he comes again with the same old story.

Gildardo, the fact I've postponed the job doesn't mean I've cancelled it,

but Pablo Escobar is going down.

And when I win the bet and Motoa gets out of prison,

I'll send him a bomb to Medellín.

Are you planning to plant the bomb after Motoa leaves prison?

Gildardo, you may have forgotten what Pablo Escobar did to us,

but I haven't,

and I'm not going to suck it up.

I'll raise your bet.

If Pedro Motoa is extradited, you'll dismantle that famous car of yours.

if he isn't, do whatever you want with it.

I'm glad you opened your eyes, pal.

I was about to wake you up by scaring you.

- What's up, pal? - Marino, is everything okay?

The boss is on the phone.

Sir.

How are you, Marino?

Have you overslept, or what?

How are you, Doctor?

What can I do? When it's not one, it's the other.

How do you feel?

I'm in pain, sir. I fell off my motorcycle.

I am asking you how you feel about the other issue.

That has deeply hurt me, sir.

Marino, don't worry about-- wait a moment.

Don't waste bullets on that, girl, just use the bomb.

Look, look, look.

Hello?

Marino, listen to me.

This world is full of beautiful women.

Don't worry about that, okay?

I know you feel bad and sad, but everything has a solution,

and you'll get over this.

Women are like waves, they come and go.

I wanted to die that day, sir.

No, son, you were lucky.

It was difficult to remove you from under that car.

Listen, get better soon.

I need you for an important mission.

At least the poor girl didn't suffer much, right?

Get better soon.

As soon as you feel okay, stop by the office.

Yes, sir.

Okay, Marino. I send you a hug.

Thank you, boss.

I'll teach you how to plant a bomb, honey.

Do you see this here?

Look at the explosion.

Mr. Secretary, we were waiting for you.

Tell me you already have the arrest warrant

with extradition purposes.

No, I don't.

Pedro Motoa's attorneys argued that he fulfilled his sentence

in Spain while he was imprisoned there.

- But is that true? - Technically, it is.

At the moment,

there is no arrest warrant against Pedro Motoa.

Now the problem is that the judges won't issue the arrest warrant

with extradition purposes.

That means Motoa can be released.

At any moment.

And we can't recapture him without that arrest warrant.

Can you imagine how we would look before the U.S.

just because we don't have a paper that allows us to extradite that criminal?

- I understand, Mr. President. - Mr. Secretary, do your best

to prevent Pedro Motoa from being released.

Do whatever it takes.

"We need peace to live in a civilized way

and to stop dying as savages."

I want to make a toast.

Christmas is getting better and better every time,

don't you think, gentlemen?

Yes, but the best present is still missing.

Relax, Julio. Pedro is going to be released.

The Government knocked down the drug trafficking charges,

but they haven't been able to issue the famous arrest warrant

with extradition purposes.

Who understands the Government, Pablo?

They broke all the laws to extradite Marcos,

and they will do the same thing with Pedro.

I know, Germán, but Marcos' situation was different.

He was the first one to be caught and the Government used him as a lab rat.

It's different with Pedro, because they know they must do things the right way.

Fortunately, gentlemen.

Fine, but what is going to happen to Pedro?

Can he be released whenever he wants or what?

That's the idea.

What if they capture him again?

That's the risk we are taking.

If the Government issues the arrest warrant with extradition purposes,

before Pedro gets out of prison, we'll be totally screwed.

No, that can't happen, gentlemen.

We have to push them somehow.

We kidnap someone or we kill some politician,

but we can't sit back and relax.

Relax, Julio. It's December.

Government officials practically don't work during the year.

Do you think they would work on Christmas?

Are we going to leave everything to chance?

To assume that Pedro will get out before a judge requests his capture again?

Dear Germán, luck works for losers, not for winners.

We are winners and we take the bull by its horns.

Let's make a toast, brother.

Cheers, gentlemen.

Marino, get out!

- Show your face! - What's wrong, kid?

Marino isn't in here, bro.

- He went on a trip. - What trip?

Two people saw him. He was there when my sister was killed.

Open the gate, please.

Calm down, brother. What's wrong?

Who are you looking for?

- Are you dumb or what? - Calm down.

- Do you want to die? - I only need to talk to Marino.

Didn't you hear he's not in?

- I just want to talk to Marino. - Shut up, man.

What's going on? What did you say?

You killed my sister. You did it.

- How can you say that? - You were there.

Shut up, Javier. Listen to me, brother.

I was there when that happened, but I had nothing to do with it.

- Why didn't you do anything? - Because I couldn't, brother.

If I could have, I would.

You know what, Javier? Get out of here.

- Beat it, dog. - Keep quiet.

- Get lost. - Beat it, man.

Stupid jerk.

How do I ask you to forgive me?

Why?

Excuse me, miss. I'm looking for the judge.

I'm sorry, the judge left early this morning.

But we agreed he would give me an arrest warrant.

- Didn't he leave anything for me? - Not that I know of.

Is there any place where I can find him?

No, he traveled overseas with his family, Mr. Secretary,

and I don't know anything about an arrest warrant.

Here you go.

A copy of my client's order of release.

I figure you already have yours.

Thank you very much. Excuse me.

Secretary,

you have a call from the Director of Picota prison.

They also called from Modelo prison and asked you to call the Director.

- It seems like there is a riot. - A riot at the Modelo?

- Yes, sir. - Did you call the police?

Yes, sir.

Hello.

How could you authorize his release today?

Don't let them release him, no matter what!

I'm on my way.

Pablo, does the riot at the Modelo have anything to do with you?

Let's say we set John's house on fire to prevent the firemen

from going over to Peter's.

I thought something like that, so I brought you a present.

- And Happy New Year again. - With a present and all that.

Of course, check it out.

Thank you very much.

That present may come handy for you

on your new strategy to evade extradition.

That's Andrés Pastrana Arango,

politician, journalist,

candidate for mayor of Bogota.

A sure winner.

- Andrés Pastrana you said? - Yes, sir.

Under the current circumstances,

I think this is the perfect target to kidnap.

Where is Secretary Francisco Moreno?

I just spoke with him on the phone. He is at Picota prison.

I told him to go to Modelo prison, because the situation is critical there.

Was the order to release Motoa issued?

It should be ready.

Pedro Motoa can't get out of prison.

I think I was clear on that.

The prison's director knows he didn't have to issue that order.

Perfect.

Those drug traffickers can't think they can intimidate the justice

with their arsenal of attorneys.

But we would be disobeying the judge's order, Mr. President.

Mr. Bedoya,

those are consequences we'll have to face.

Judges in this country didn't leave us any other option.

Bogota.

The Secretary of Justice, Francisco Moreno,

had to handle the difficult situation at the Modelo National Prison,

where a group of prisoners have been rioting since this morning,

and the guards haven't been able to control the situation.

Tell the secretary to go to Picota prison right now.

He's won't move from there until the situation is under control.

Can't you see?

They may be doing that to distract us.

Call him. Or do I have to call him myself?

Do you know what the consequences of disobeying a judge's order are?

Guard, open.

Could we go any faster, please?

CALI DECEMBER 31, 1987

Here are your five million.

Enjoy.

Don't tell me our friend was already released.

Unfortunately.

Now you can do what you wanted.

Gildardo, you are very silly.

I'm a hundred steps ahead of you.

Cheers.

Cheers, everyone! Happy New Year!

Let's hear those fireworks.

Happy New Year!

May God be with you.

- Happy New Year, boss. - I love you very much, boss.

I'll stick with you until my dying day.

Gonzalo, let's burn the old year.

Come, Emilio. Let's burn it down.

"Narco leaves prison through the front door."

"The U.S. disgusted with Colombia because of The Extraditables."

"The Government promises and fails to comply."

"Pedro Motoa is a free man."

Here are the arrest warrants with extradition purposes.

- You got them? - Not only for Pedro Motoa.

But for his brothers Julio and Germán Motoa,

Gustavo Ramirez and Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

And it was thanks to a judge as honorable as we are.

- Congratulations, Secretary. - Thank you, Mr. President.

This event shows the struggle between the Government and traffickers.

The State now has arrest warrants with extradition purposes

against the most important leaders of the Medellín Cartel.

Mister, what now?

Well, nothing now.

What? Nothing?

For God's sake, Pablo.

Do you know how long it will take the police

to find this house?

Please.

- Are you dumb or what? - Don't worry about that, Paty.

I have people who warn me before the cops come to get me.

Holy Mary.

Aren't you supposed to be an intelligent man?

Do you think nothing is going to happen to you because a cop is protecting you?

That they won't take you to the U.S.?

What's up, champ?

Why the long face?

Aren't you happy with the new school, or what?

- No, I haven't even seen it. - Your mother will take you there soon.

Right, Paty?

I saw it already. I liked it very much.

It has a very cool soccer field. And very pretty facilities.

You are going to love it. Right, Paty?

I liked it very much.

- Put on the cartoons for Emilio. - Are you leaving so soon?

Come with me, dear.

Of course I've seen the news, Pablo.

What if that arrest warrant had been issued while I was caged?

I would be in the U.S. now.

Secretary Francisco Moreno is to blame for this, Pedro.

It doesn't matter who is to blame.

The problem is we are in a bad situation.

Will Mariachi go to the ranch too?

I think we'll be safer in there.

I know, but when are we going to come back?

When the place is full of cops and we can't even show our faces?

We'll figure it out later.

Remember the last commandment, don't expose yourself.

I honestly prefer to stay here. You can go, don't worry.

I'll hide and plan how we can return the favor to the Government.

- Come on, let's go. - I'm coming.

Pablo, listen to me.

You don't want to travel on a DEA's plane, let's go.

No, Pedro. Do as I say.

I'm going to stay.

Besides, the Colonel still works for us.

That guarantees nothing is going to happen to us or to our families.

You understand?

What a stubborn guy, for God's sake.

So, that paper means we won't have the same problem we had with Pedro Motoa?

That's right, Mr. President.

If any of these five crooks is captured,

we'll immediately start the extradition procedures.

So,

that means

we only need to arrest them.

Mr. President, the National Police are working on it.

It's a priority.

General, rumors say that those criminals are walking free

around Medellín's streets.

I'm sorry, I don't know who your sources are,

but Colonel Pedregal, Antioquia's Police Chief,

says that they are missing, and I believe him.

That means someone must be wrong.

If those criminals are missing, how are you going to capture them?

- Reinforcing the intelligence work. - No, General.

I gave you enough time to reinforce what you had to reinforce.

The colonel you're talking about has to be replaced.

I saw the news too, and I understand you are worried.

Do you have any news about the Bogota issue?

Not yet, but they will start asking me for results.

Listen, Colonel. Can I spend the night with my family?

Well, yes. At least I'll know where you are.

You haven't answered my question.

Can I spend the night with my family?

Of course you can, man.

But we'll have to meet tomorrow.

I can no longer protect you with those arrest warrants,

at least not the way I used to.

Yes, I know.

The rules changed for everyone.

Thank you very much, Colonel.

Listen,

have we confirmed that the subject is still in the building

after what happened on the news?

Yes, sir. He is.

Then let's set the alarm clock very early in the morning tomorrow,

in case the police get there earlier and take him.

All right, sir.

As you say, Don Gerardo.

Hello.

Excuse me for calling this early but I have news for you.

Don't worry, General. Tell me.

Guess who is the new Antioquia's Police Chief?

MEDELLÍN JANUARY 13, 1988

- Sweetie, what's going on? - Don't wake up, keep sleeping.

What's happening? Are you leaving?

After what happened tonight,

I can't stay here exposing myself.

Where are going to go now?

I'm going to one of the hideaways.

You know what I need?

Solve Emilio's school problem, okay?

Do your best to make that boy comfortable, okay?

Don't worry, I'll take care of that.

Do me a favor.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Of course I will.

When are you coming back?

I don't know when, but I'll let you know.

May God be with you.

I love you very much, you hear me?

Hand me the agenda and the ball pen, please.

Take care and say hello to the children, okay?

Tell them I love them very much.

Okay, go back to sleep.

Do you think he is in any of those cars?

They say Pablo Escobar is not an early riser.

Hurry up, man. It's going to get late.

What's up with this car, dude?

May I help you? Hey!

Call Paty, please.

Hang up.

Emilio, sweetie!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

- Are you in pain? - No.

Help me, darling.

Please.

Sweetie!

Dani, sweetie!

Hold my hand. Come on, hold my hand.
