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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

A few hours ago, the Chamber of Representatives elected Alberto Villamiza

as president of the First Commission.

See, did you hear that?

There's your fucking political solution!

There's our reward for trusting those fucking politicians!

Just what we needed!

A bunch of criminals sitting at a table and solving their problems with a pen!

The only way to solve problems here is with bullets and death!

Calm down, Pablo.

- You got involved with the-- - I didn't ask you, did I talk to you?

I don't care what you think!

Hold on, guys.

Let's calm down.

We're here to decide what we're going to do.

What we're going to do?

Pablo said it, man, we'll start dropping bodies!

If they didn't want to solve things with us the easy way,

I guess we'll have to do it the hard way.

Where are you going, Pedro?

Germán! Where are you going?

Sit, man.

This is also your fault so you're staying!

We don't agree with this.

You will, sit!

- I don't-- - I said sit!

Calm down!

Listen to me, sit!

Sit, guys.

- Sit. - Come on, sit.

All right, guys, relax.

Let's calm down.

What we'll do is simple.

We'll kill the judge investigating us,

the police officer from Bogota they made chief of Antioquia's headquarters,

the guy they named president of the Commission,

that damned director of the Operations and Intelligence Office,

we'll kill every fucking body!

That's too many people, Pablo, think about it.

Cut it out, Peluche.

If we're icing everyone,

why not the judge that involved us in that coca paste issue?

Damn right, that bitch is dying first!

What's gotten into you, man?

You're not using your head!

Yeah, I'm not, I don't care.

Pablo.

- Listen to your people. - To what, Miguel, to whom?

Listening to them got us into this mess.

The order is clear and final!

From now on, we'll bleed this country out.

Every Colombian will drown in their own shit!

And we'll get on the front lines!

We'll face them like men, not hiding here like some damn lab rats!

Yeah, that's the attitude!

I'm with Pablo.

We need to discuss one more thing.

Yeah, El Espectador.

Right, that guy's orphans will also get some, perfect.

No, sir, it's not the paper.

I'm talking about Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento.

Villamizar's political boss,

presidential candidate and our sworn enemy.

If we're taking out pawns, let's take out the king.

I think that if Santorini didn't want to help us,

then we shouldn't help him, no way!

Any comments on your defeat against Senator Galán?

No one defeated me.

Your man won't be in the commission reviewing

the non-extradition of Colombians.

Exactly, that means he's lost, not me.

What will happen to that bill? Will it still be submitted?

Ask Villamizar, he approves what bills the Commission will review.

Is it going to review the one you submitted at the Senate?

Have a nice day, miss journalist.

VICTORY FOR GALÁN'S PARTY

MESSAGE

THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER HAS TO RETURN HOME

Regina!

Darling, what a lovely surprise to hear from you!

What do you want?

To ask you why the hell you had lunch with Gildardo González in Cali.

Hold on, Pablo, we're just friends.

Why do you lie to me, Regina?

What is this about?

We're over.

Am I going to have to account to you forever?

Is that it?

I wanted to let you know

you're forbidden to see anybody because you were my girlfriend.

No, I was never your girlfriend. I was many things, but never that.

Above all, I tried to be your friend.

Okay?

Are you asking if your enemy and me are lovers?

No, Pablo, we're not.

We'll never be lovers.

Because I don't want to, not because you say so.

Got it? I'm not interested in that.

So you can relax.

I hope so and I hope you don't change your mind.

Leave me alone.

Please, leave me alone.

Well, guys, let's get down to business.

Candonga, Buitre, you'll go to Bogota.

You'll take care of Judge Garcés Bernal,

El Espectador's facilities and its editors.

Here's a map so you know where each target is.

You've got it, man.

Marino.

You got Magdalena Espinosa, so you're staying in Medellin.

She's some damn judge who went after the boss a few years ago.

She's now a judge of Antioquia's Supreme Court.

It's a piece of cake.

Good?

Kiko and Cain.

You're going to Bogota.

You got Representative Villamizar

and none other than the head of the DAI General Muriel Peraza.

Grab a map too and go.

This job isn't very easy, it's damn hard!

You can stay home and we'll send someone else, right?

Don't worry, this team is like David's army.

Proud and courageous for its love for the Lord's people!

Amen!

- Amen! - Amen!

What about me?

You're with me, Topo.

We got this guy.

Antioquia's Chief of Police.

Oswaldo Quintana.

All right, guys, that's all!

Remember, stay focused and do the job right.

We'll get a huge check afterwards.

Ready?

Let's go, guys.

- Let's go, man! - Let's go!

Can I get a soda?

Go get one.

All right, let's do this.

The bill intended to forbid the extradition of Colombian citizens

wasn't submitted in either commission.

What is it, honey?

Honey.

I'll have to hide.

That's a nice car.

Too bad there won't be any of it left.

MEDELLIN POLICE ACADEMY

Aren't you beautiful!

How about having some fun?

Yeah, yeah.

No, you drink!

Hold on, honey.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me!

We can't allow drug traffickers

to roam free in this country.

Hi, honey!

How are you, what's that smell?

Hi, honey, sit, this looks delicious!

How was your day?

It was good?

What? You told...

I want you to know I'm very grateful to you, Náufrago,

for all the help you've given me.

You know you can count on us for anything, Pablo.

Thank you.

Tell Mariachi too.

Tell him I'm very grateful, that he can ask me anything

because I owe him one.

No, you don't know him anything.

It's an honor for us to guarantee your safety in the city.

You've got nothing to worry about, no one knows you're in Bogota.

I know that, but I still don't feel comfortable here.

I don't like being in Bogota.

Relax, Pablo, nothing will happen to you under our watch.

So, where do you want to go?

Ma'am.

Magdalena Espinosa started as a municipal judge

and worked her way to become a judge of Antioquia's Supreme Court.

She was waiting for a taxi to go to work when a man on a bike killed her.

That's odd, a judge that takes a taxi and has no bodyguards.

Exactly, Escobar condemned her to move on foot.

She was the first to try Escobar and his cousin for possession.

That's retaliation! Put it in the front page.

The atrocious, coward and despicable act

that has just taken place in Medellin.

The vile murder of Judge Magdalena Espinosa

is clearly a consequence of the decision made by Congress.

I have no doubt

Pablo Escobar and his men intend to scare this country

because their plan to prohibit extradition

using their political allies failed.

I vehemently condemn

the murder of this judge

and I ask the government

to protect the lives of all members of the Judicial Power.

Paying special attention to the protection of the State's higher officers.

Pablo Escobar

wants to scare us again

and we can't let him succeed.

Mr. Galán,

do you think you could be a target of that retaliation?

Before worrying about myself,

I worry about my co-workers,

my colleagues.

About you, the reporters that stand by us.

About the police officers that chase drug traffickers,

the judges that investigate them.

We must protect all of them.

May my body be wrapped in the Holy Trinity's robe

so I am neither caught nor hurt.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Neither dead nor caught.

Watch out!

Are you okay, sir?

Yes.

Yes, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Thanks, man, thank you.

Thank you, really.

Sir, are you okay?

Yes.

What happened?

Which way did they go?

That...

What happened?

- What happened? - Honey.

I'm fine, careful.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

I'm fine.

This can't be happening.

Hello.

- What can I do for you? - Are there cameras here?

All right, come with me then.

Let's go, turn around.

Relax.

Hello, Regina.

Don't look at me like that, I'm not going to hurt you.

Are you coming down or should I go up?

The despicable attack against Alberto Villamizar

is nothing but the latest attempt of drug trafficking and its allies

to put an end to the New Liberalism,

it's policies of change

and its constant accusations!

But they won't kill or silence us!

We won't rest until our country is in peace

and free from the corruption of drug trade and its political allies.

How much longer will these criminals and their allies

walk freely?

How much longer are we going to let them threaten

honest Colombian citizens?

Given the latest attacks that took place in this country,

us Colombians need to ask ourselves something.

How much longer?

Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel

keep attacking and murdering government officials without consequences.

This criminal empire's victims increase every day

without any response from the government.

A response we've been waiting for since the murder of Rodrigo Lara.

This time, the victim was the first woman that openly questioned his power.

After 12 years, her courage cost her her life.

All we can do is hope the next bomb, attack or murder

is not as bad as the last.

How else can you explain that the recent appointment

of General Muriel Peraza as head of the Intelligence Agency

has yielded no results?

All we can hope for is Judge Garcés Bernal,

who is investigating Escobar and Mariachi for the murder of Guillermo Cano,

this newspaper former editor,

receives the government's protection so he can do his job.

Was El Espectador's article bad enough

to bring you to my office so quickly?

We know your investigation is very serious, your honor.

We're here to offer you our protection.

I hope you don't take this as an unduly intromission, your honor,

but tell me something.

You're about to make a very important decision, right?

Yes, that's right, General.

Given the evidence I have,

I'll formally charge Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria

and Gustavo Ramírez, a.k.a. Mariachi.

From now on, your honor, you'll have as many police officers

as you deem necessary for your protection.

Oh, honey.

Honey.

Come on, I made you a snack.

- No. - Come on, honey.

They're so lovely.

- Thank you. - No problem, honey.

Thank you for coming, look how happy we are you're here.

Eat this piece of cake.

Okay, honey.

We got used to seeing you often.

Are you here because the guys are in Medellin?

Yeah, a few of them.

You don't feel like talking?

No, I'm just...

tired.

Won't you stay over?

If you do, I won't nag you.

I wanted to tell you something.

I've made a decision.

I forgive you.

I forgive you for everything you've done.

Including that news presenter.

There's nothing going on between Gildardo and me, Pablo.

I already told you,

he wanted my advice because he wants to enter politics, that's all.

I know.

You believe me?

I believe you.

But...

this is the last time you give advice to that man

or any of those bastards.

How are you doing?

How are you doing?

Bad.

Have you thought about me?

Do you miss me?

I asked you if you had thought about me

or missed me!

I've really missed you.

I've thought about you a lot.

Pablo--

I think about you every day.

Every day, I think about...

your body...

your skin...

your smell...

your kisses.

You're getting yourself into a hole you're digging yourself, Pablo.

The people are going to hate you, and you don't want that.

No matter what you do, Luis Carlos Galán will be the next president.

With him in power, you'll end up in the U.S.

You need to stop.

You need to start talking with him.

Negotiating.

Perhaps you can reach an agreement and you can stay in Colombia.

What do you care if I stay in Colombia?

I don't, but it's the best for you.

And what's best for you?

That you leave my house.

Regina...

if I walk out that door,

you'll never see me again.

All right.

No, man, it wasn't 40 or 80!

I invested over 120 dollars in this junk!

I bought it from some farmer.

Look sharp, man, they're leaving.

Hold on, man, shit, they took another route.

What happened, Candonga?

Look, man, we need to be patient.

Now that how has an escort, things are going to be harder.

I'm not even patient when I go to the doctor's.

Look, Buitre, listen up.

There are five different routes,

five days per week,

don't you think he'll take the third route eventually?

That day, that asshole will know Buitre.

All right, man, get ready, I'll go pick you up.

Roger, over.

Many times, we hear God's words,

but we don't listen to it.

Today, Emilio has the chance

to welcome God into his heart.

That's what the First Communion is about.

About understanding God.

Today Emilio starts down a road

in a world full of sins and vices,

but, luckily, he has his parents,

his friends and relatives

and has the support of an honest, pious and generous family.

May this First Communion help us

welcome God into our hearts.

This goes on the front page.

But with this picture.

If Luis Carlos Galán is ahead with a 60%, he'll be the candidate for the liberalism.

And then this country's president.

It'll be a landslide.

El Espectador, good morning.

Tell the editors they're dead.

- Excuse me? - You heard me.

They won't be alive tomorrow.

Neither of them

What's wrong?

Thanks!

- Do you like it? - It's amazing!

Who were you talking to?

No one, just making sure everything was okay.

Yeah? Cut it out.

Stop messing with that and mingle.

Look, man, I don't understand why we have to be in some Communion--

Relax, man.

We're celebrating the host.

Wipe that look off your face, man.

Too bad, it's the only one I have.

What do you want?

To piss this guy off or what?

Is that it?

I'll see you over there.

Why don't you give it to him?

Fine, fine.

Just a minute, sir.

- Bye, guys. - Bye, sir.

All right, Senator, you may come in.

I'm glad you could join us, Santo!

Hello, Pablo. I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

I know. Welcome, please, sit.

I can't believe this.

Everybody is looking for you

and you're celebrating in your ranch.

Incredible, but true.

If you're worried someone finds out you were here, you can relax.

We're well-guarded 24/7.

Pablo, we need to talk and I'd like to do it as soon as possible.

Go ahead then.

It's simple.

You know in this country you get votes

through community leaders.

That's why we need the leaders of every region.

What does that have to do with me? What do you mean?

That I want to win the liberal primaries.

I want to defeat Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento.

To do so, I need...

Pablo Escobar Gaviria's invaluable help.

Why is that every time you and I talk, Santo, we end up talking about the same?

Because we have common interests.

Politics and war, for instance.

How much money do you need?

Two million dollars.

Politics and war require resources.

I'll have to negotiate with everybody. From top to bottom, Pablo.

With a congressman, a councilman,

a community or village leader.

You know politics are dynamic.

You don't need to explain anything, I know the drug trafficking dynamic

you politicians have.

I'd like to ask you something.

How much of those two millions are you keeping, Santorini,?

No, how can you think that, Pablo?

I do think that.

Look, I think that spending two million

on a political campaign is absurd.

It's too much.

Here's what we'll do.

I'll contribute,

but not with so much money.

You know how much I'll give you?

Nothing.

Pablo,

if you don't help me get this country's liberals on my side,

Luis Carlos Galán won't just win the liberal primaries,

he'll pretty much be the next president!

Then let him, what's the damn problem?

He deserves it.

- You know what that means? - I do.

If you're asking if I'm afraid to be extradited,

no, I'm not afraid of that.

That's exactly what Luis Carlos Galán will do the day after being elected.

Look, Santo, there's no reason for me to waste my money on you.

I'd rather spend it on things that are really worth it

and good for this country.

Bombs, terrorist attacks,

kidnappings, torture, slaughter,

blood, abductions.

We'll see what happens.

We'll see if when Mr. Galán peaks out the window of the Nariño Palace

and sees all Colombians drowning in their shit, he sits and negotiates.

Sometimes, you need to take a more aggressive attitude

or cut heads to be respected.

Is that all?

No, Pablo.

One more thing.

I'm listening,

I've got an idea, Cain.

Take a picture of me with El Espectador behind so the boss sees we're working.

That's good, let's do that.

Hold on, you look kind of dark.

- Geez, Kiko. - What?

We've got an animal infestation, Kiko!

What?

The pigs are here.

- Look. - What? Hold on.

Damn.

What's going on?

These assholes are lucky, really!

Yeah, man.

Excuse me, Marino,

but I'd like to ask you something.

Sure, sir.

How are our operations in Bogota going?

Well, sir.

- Well... - Yes, sir.

But slow, it's been days and we have no news.

Nothing about El Espectador or Judge Garcés.

It's like science, you know what I mean?

They doubled the judge's detail.

And the newspaper issue is on its way, sir.

I think it got lost, I'm getting nervous.

Bye, Senator.

Have a nice day, sir.

What's up with him?

I'd like to thank you again

for being here on this special day.

We have a surprise for Emilio.

Fabrianny the Magician is here!

Give it up for him, please.

Hi, how are you?

- How are you? - Good day to you all.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon!

What about that applause?

This goes here, look, nothing in either side, we put it here...

Really, Pablo, that magician is funny.

It's a nice party, Pablo.

I was talking with Marino about our operations in Bogota.

We're working on it.

It's going kind of slow, but I'll get it done, relax.

Look, Pablo, if we want to pressure the government

and have Galán by the balls by the time he's president,

we need to get those operations done right away, one after the other.

Relax, Mariachi, it's just a matter of days.

That judge will issue arrest warrants against us in a few days,

what then?

No, we have to do it now.

I need you to handle the next mission personally.

Yeah.

That's what I like.

Just tell me what I have to do and I'll get it done in no time.

We're going to kill Galán.

One, two...

Cool, right?

God.

I don't get it.

What now?

You agree with everything Santorini says?

No, it's not that, I just want you to remember Santorini

has always been on our side.

He's always shared our views.

I think things would be a lot easier for the Medellin Cartel

if we can put Santorini in the presidential chair.

Hold on, you said we wouldn't give him a penny.

I won't.

Then what?

Look, Mariachi, I think it's stupid

to waste our money killing pawns

when we could just shoot the king down.

Forgive me for asking, Pablo,

but did Santorini have anything to do with that decision?

You know I make my own decisions and I write my own letters.

I'm sorry I asked,

but have you forgotten that we thought about killing Galán

and you refused because you wouldn't help Santorini?

Now you say you will!

I've been thinking

and there's no way to stop Galán.

He's stubborn as a mule!

We killed his friend Lara and he kept going.

We killed Guillermo Cano and he kept going.

We tried to kill his wife's brother-in-law too.

Every chance he gets in front of a microphone,

he starts making claims and attacking and criticizing us.

He demands the extradition from every president.

You think he'll wait even one day to extradite us when he's president?

Hold on, Pablo.

You don't need to convince me because I agree with you.

I just don't get why you changed your mind.

I didn't, I'm just changing our military strategy.

Then, Mr. Strategy, let's enjoy your son's Communion, okay?

So?

Don't worry about it.

I'll take care of it.

Good.
