All language subtitles for Pablo Escobar S01E39

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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

Your attention, please.
We continue with the latest news

regarding those calling themselves
The Extraditables.

On the line, we have someone
who claims to be one of their spokesmen.

Could you give us your name?

This is a statement from The Extraditables
to let the public know

that the Attorney General of the Nation,
Mr. Carlos Mauro Hoyos,

has just been executed.

The Extraditables' intention was simply
to hold the attorney general

in order to begin conversations
with the government.

Because the government has betrayed
its origins, its people, its country,

and due to the pressure of the police

and the supposed rescue of the candidate
for Mayor of Bogotá, Mr. Andrés Pastrana,

The Extraditables have made the decision
to execute the attorney general.

How do we know that you belong
to that organization?

And how do we know
the attorney general is actually dead?

It's simple,
I'll tell you where to find his body.

It lies next to a creek called El Buitre,

near a big stone
in the village of Urumita.

And as long as the door to extradite
Colombians abroad continues open,

more politicians will fall.

The war continues.

Hello, can you hear me?

You told him to say
that the war will continue?

I don't recall having said that.

I can't hear you, general,

but we're going exactly to the place
where the guy told us.

- Is it far away?
- We're in the exact place.

And what about the attorney general?

Colonel, why don't you answer me?

General, it's true.

They killed the attorney general.

Even though it's true that things
didn't come out as we had planned,

it's also true that Marino did
what he had to do.

And that, gentlemen, as everything else
in life, deserves a just reward.

A round of applause for Marino.

Marino, thank you very much.

Thank you, sir. Thanks, guys.

I was only doing my work, boss.

I appreciate your humility, Marino,
but things are as they are.

You're a warrior,
you're damn good.

Thanks to your impeccable performance,

today we kicked the government's balls.

Not only did we kidnap
the future Mayor of Bogotá,

but we also murdered
the Attorney General of the Nation.

Boss, I think that,
for you to achieve what you want,

we have to go on catching big shots
and killing them.

No, you're wrong. That's the only way
for you to get dough, you jerk.

- That's not it.
- It has nothing to do with this.

It has a lot to do,
and you shut up, Mole.

I'm very fond of you, Chili,

but neither you, nor any of you,

can expect to go on killing people
just to fill your pockets.

Is that clear? And you shut up.

Cousin Gonzalo is right.

As Marino very well said
in his generous statement,

the war continues,
but not by going all trigger happy.

No, gentlemen, each murder,
each disappearance,

each attempt, and each terrorist action

has to be coldly and perfectly calculated.

We can't afford to improvise.

Don Pablo, that's what we're here for,
you can count on us.

And don't think this problem
is exclusively of those of us

wanted in extradition
by the United States.

The day may come when you can also
end up on the screens of the DEA

if you don't take care.

But don't worry.

I hope you don't believe
that everything you're doing is for me,

for the fondness and respect towards me.

No, gentlemen, behind all this
there is an organization

that respects, admires,
appreciates, and protects you.

And not only that,

it will also ensure
the protection of your rights.

Bravo, boss!

Caracol has just confirmed
that a few minutes ago

the dead body
of the attorney general was found.

We must make up for lost time,
the elections are near.

Dad, what's going on?
Is everything okay?

They killed the attorney general, Son.

Let's hope this is the basis
for a new beginning in Colombia.

Why don't you tell us briefly
what your brother was like,

especially when he came to Medellin
on weekends?

He was very serious and strict
concerning his working decisions,

so maybe people who didn't know him
very well thought he was unfriendly.

But he was actually a very happy person,
he loved to dance,

he would leave a classy party
to go dancing and have some drinks.

He was a very happy person.

Have a nice trip, may the Blessed Virgin
accompany you.

I love you so much.
- I love you.

Is it true that he was reluctant
to any type of protection?

Yes, he always said
that if they were going to kidnap him,

they'd do so with two or with ten men.

You know what?
I prefer guitars to machine guns.

And these two young men
are more than enough.

You know what we must do?
Work conscientiously, keep our head low.

Kneel.

I won't kneel.

It's not that easy, right, Jason?

Are you really that evil?

Come on, guys,
my foot is really hurting.

Come on. Let's go.

Honey, how have you been?
One day I'll have a heart attack.

Where do you come from, darling?

Where have you been?

Oh, my God.
- Come here.

You're naughty, really,
one day you'll kill me of a heart attack.

Where are the children?

They went for a walk with their grandma.
My heart is racing.

It's okay.

Look, Paty,
I came because I've been thinking...

that it would be a good idea
for you and the children

to go to Panama for a while.

And maybe while you're there

the doctors could check Daniela's ear.

Do you really think
Panamanian doctors

are better than Colombian ones?

I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I'd send her to the U.S., but how?

No, darling.

Look, I'm already getting a school
for Emilio, it's very close by,

they'll let him in,

and I don't want him
to be missing school anymore.

No.

I don't think he should go
to another school,

because how can we know if there's
a good environment for him in that school?

I don't want that for him,
I want him to be relaxed,

so the best thing is for him
to go on with private classes.

I guess you're right.

I'm sorry,
sometimes I just don't know what to think.

It's so complicated.
- Come here and sit with me.

You have nothing to worry about.

You're a very strong
and determined woman.

What you have to do now
is to bear with this for a while.

You've endured a lot,
now you must endure a little more.

- Yes, this war will last a bit.
- Just a little longer

while the government withdraws
the extradition, and then we'll be fine.

Come, come here.

President, how many more funerals
of decent people

who dared facing drug traffickers
will we have to attend to?

How is it possible that the government
is not doing anything?

Don't you think
that's what I think about every day?

It's easy to criticize the government
when you're not in it, right?

You know I've always backed
the government in difficult times,

but nothing seems to be happening.

There are no results,
these guys continue to kill people

and nobody stops them.

What's wrong
with the intelligence services?

Since the day of Rodrigo Lara's murder

we've been waiting
for the government to react,

but the only thing we see is
more murders, more terrorism.

How much longer do we have to wait?

Luis Carlos, who more than I would like
to eliminate this terrible cancer

from Colombia and Colombians?

Do you know how many more deaths
I want to see?

Not one.

Do you know how many more days have
to go by before this situation is solved?

Not one.

We've been doing everything we can,
but we have achieved nothing.

What are you saying?

The drug traffickers have won the war
against the institutions?

They haven't won,
but we're clearly losing.

Galán's strategy to return to the ruling
party to unify it was working.

From November 18 to November 20, 1988,
Galán ends his Political Movement

and returns to the Official Liberalism.

Fellow citizens, the journey continues,

on the same course,
to the same destination,

in a larger ship.

The liberal politician further stated
that from within the party

he will continue with his tireless effort
for the country to regain

the dignity of its institutions,
strengthen the justice,

and free itself
from the yoke of drug traffickers

who have prevented us from being a fair,
equitable, and developed nation.

- Major.
- General.

How do you feel?

I know this is a very difficult situation,

what you're going through.

But I think we should thank God
that you're still alive, right?

Alive?
Do you really think this is a life?

I was at the head of Antioquia's Command
for only one month.

Retired before age 45,
failing the country, the institution,

failing everybody.
You call this a life?

I understand,
and I share your frustration.

But this is a fact, you have a family
and you have to go on.

General, let me continue.
I know I can help behind a desk,

I can do something to win this war.

I guarantee the institution
won't fail you.

We shall go on until we eliminate Escobar.

General, honestly speaking,

do you really believe
we can eliminate the Medellin Cartel?

I swear we will.

The departmental police,
the national police,

and now the State Department
are looking for you,

and nobody even thinks
they can find you here.

They do think that.

Once in a while they pay a visit,
but when they're about to get here,

I'm already leaving.

You're really something, Pablo.

So, they disappear and you appear?

Exactly, and thus we're always
playing cat and mouse,

until the day we meet.

I don't want to think
what would happen

if they find you here
protected by this army.

Rifles against pistols.
Now you can imagine it.

However, there's way too much risk here.

But tell us, Pablo, we're listening.

Look, Santo,

you well know
that my friendship with you

has always been sincere, uninterested,

since the day that Representative Ortiz
kindly introduced us.

That's right.

Well, the day has come for you to help me.

If it's within my possibilities,
you can count on me.

It is within your possibilities, Santo.

You know how that corrupt Congress
where you work operates better than I do.

Therefore, what I'm about to ask
won't require much effort.

I need you to pass a law
which expressly prohibits

the extradition of Colombians
to the U.S., that's all.

Okay, this is it, kid.

If I'm not mistaken,
he's coming in 30 seconds.

We will never achieve anything

until this country
can intercept satellite calls.

- I'm hot.
- Hot?

Hot is how that bastard will feel.
- Look, here he comes.

- Hello, dear.
- How are you?

- Fine.
- Fine?

- Please.
- Good.

I'm glad you waited for me.

- Of course.
- I couldn't come sooner, I'm sorry.

I'm glad you're here.

Yes, we have many things
to talk about, right?

- You look very pretty.
- Thank you.

I thought about it a lot
before coming to Cali.

You know what? I think a city like this
needs someone like you, beautiful.

Thank you very much.

It's here in Medellin,
in Puerto Triunfo,

in Puerto Boyacá, it's in these regions

where the absurd, excessive power
of the drug lords is concentrated.

They use their immense wealth
to commit terrorist acts,

just like the one
they committed against me.

They also have private justice groups,

they intimidate and threaten officials.

They kill journalists.

Yes, they kill journalists,
as well as State officers,

military officials,
and even ordinary people.

What's the Department of Intelligence
doing to prevent Escobar and his men

from doing whatever they like?

I can assure you, miss,
that we're doing everything we can.

Could you guarantee there won't be
any more dead journalists in Colombia?

Or that those of us
at El Espectador

will be sure to have State security
protecting our lives?

Any journalist, not only those
who work at El Espectador like yourself,

but anyone who feels that their life
or integrity is threatened,

can come here to my office,

and we will gladly listen
to their concerns.

Could you have our building shielded
as you did with your office, general?

Forgive me if I sound aggressive,
but since Rodrigo Lara's death,

the government promised to end
the Cartel, but you've just said

that Pablo Escobar and his men
wander freely around the country.

So, Pablo, what are you going to say now?

What will you say about the bomb
you put to General Muriel Peraza?

It was well worth the fright or what?
- Of course it's worth something.

Also, now we have much more experience

in placing explosives and car bombs.

But what do you mean, "experience"?

Weren't we going to address
the issue politically?

But one thing has nothing to do
with the other.

What do you mean?

We're placing car bombs,
killing innocent people,

eliminating everything,

and then we're asking
not to be extradited?

This has to end.
Are you crazy or what? We must stop.

We have already stopped.

General Peraza is alive,
now we have him in the funeral chamber

so he doesn't get that cold.

My war with the Cali Cartel
is frozen right now.

So I agree with Pedro, it's time
to focus on a political and legal solution

to the extradition issue.
- Wait a minute, sir.

What about Mr. Galán?
He belongs to the Liberal party.

He returned on the condition
to carry out a referendum

and is leading in surveys,
so then what?

Let him win, what's the problem
with him being president? I don't care.

What matters is that, at this time,
extradition is illegal,

and therefore it doesn't affect us.

That's what I mean.

I'm glad we're not considering
hurting that gentleman.

Wait a minute, sir,
I have another candidate.

Mariachi, come on,
haven't you heard what we were saying?

It's easy for you to say that,
you're not under investigation.

But listen, Pablo,
that magistrate is also after you.

I think Pablo is right,
we should wait and see what we can do

with the politicians
and with congress, so relax, Mariachi.

I agree.

Listen, Mariachi,
while extradition doesn't exist,

problems are easy to solve,
including the one of Galán, right?

Mr. Escobar, I can't believe
you're going to let them accuse you

of Guillermo Cano's murder, because that's
exactly what that magistrate will do.

Gentlemen, I agree with Mariachi.

Useless things should be eliminated.

That's right.

For example, the Commander
of the Antioquia Police, Colonel Quintana.

We need police officers,
but in our payroll,

not guys who screw with us.

Gentlemen, the window of violence
has been closed.

No more car bombs, no more
innocent people dead, no more murders.

We'll look for a political solution,
not a military one.

We must go forward, never retreat,
right, Pablo?

That's the way it is.

We won, we won.

Luis Carlos,
this is such an important triumph.

Did you see the faces
of the other candidates?

They looked terrified.

Of course, for years they've been choosing
their candidates with one finger,

and now Luis Carlos changes everything.

The Liberal Party can't go on
choosing with one finger,

now we have to win the referendum.

Let's go to work, right?

Good.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

May I know your thoughts, Senator?

Sir, shall we go on?

Sorry, Ortiz, where were we?

You look preoccupied,
are you worried about Galán?

Well, Javier,

the Liberal party
has made a terrible mistake

by accepting the person
who made us lose power in 1982,

and there's no turning back.

But are you sure
he's going to win the referendum?

I don't know.

Don't tell me you feel like a loser,
Senator.

I don't feel anything, Ortiz.

Let's talk about the issue
that really concerns us: Escobar.

We know that the bill
prohibiting extradition

will be studied
by the Commission you preside, Senator.

At the Senate, but it has to pass
through the House of Representatives.

And for that to happen,

it's essential that you be named president
of the Commission that will study it.

Santorini is up to his old tricks again.

Why are you so surprised?
Santorini is always a step ahead.

It looks like he's trying to handle
Congress to overthrow the extradition.

It wouldn't be difficult,
because if they submit the bill,

who will study it?

The first Commission of the Senate,
and he's president.

Yes, but first he has to submit the bill

to the House of Representatives
for approval.

Look, Luis Carlos, I'm thinking about
something I don't know you'll agree to.

The first Commission of the House
of Representatives has no president.

If you like, I could run for it,

and if I win
they wouldn't dare submitting the bill.

But we don't have enough votes for that.

But we could add the votes
of the Conservative party, the left.

Do you really believe those two
would join forces?

The mafia is the common enemy.

And besides,
they're aware of the extradition.

Sorry.

That must be Maruja looking for me,
I told her I'd be here.

Hello.

Yes, tell them to call
in five minutes, okay?

Thanks.

It was a radio station,
they want to ask me about the new polls.

Are there new surveys?

Yes, the liberal referendum.
It seems I'm winning.

It seems? But of course you're winning.

The truth is you made
everyone uncomfortable

when you returned to the Liberal Party,
that was a master play.

I still don't know
what to think of the polls,

I have yet to face four powerful members
of the Liberal party,

including Santorini.

Don't worry about Santorini, you'll win.

The next candidate of the Liberal Party
and future president of this country

is called Luis Carlos Galán Sarmiento.

Let's practice again.

What are you going to answer
if the police ask you,

"Danielita, and when you talk
with your daddy,

is it cold or is it hot?"

I don't know.

Exactly.

And if the police ask you,

"Danielita, and when you see your dad,

are you in a ranch
or in a house in Medellin?"

Ask him.

Perfect, those are the answers
for the police.

Daddy, why are the police
going to ask me that?

Maybe they won't ask any questions,
it's just in case,

we have to be prepared if they do.

Do you understand?
It's a precaution, that's all.

Look who's here.

- Uncle Chili!
- Hello, princess.

What happened?

Boss, I have tremendous news for you.

What happened?

Your TV announcer lady friend
was seen in Cali.

- Regina in Cali?
- Yes, sir.

- Why is that?
- She was having lunch with Mr. Gildardo.

- Thank you.
- Bye, princess.

Bye, uncle.

The Magistrate's security
is precarious, to say the least.

An unshielded van, two bodyguards,
and a downtown office.

Our objective couldn't be easier, sir,

so just tell me what to do.
Shall we do it now or wait a while?

Let's wait a little more,
but continue the intelligence work.

As you wish, sir.

The decision has been made,
you both have to leave the country.

I don't know, I don't think
there are enough reasons yet.

Besides, Niki already spoke
with General Peraza,

and he's sure nothing will happen to us.
- And you trust him?

You really think Guillermo Cano
knew he was going to be killed?

You think he would have left the office
if he knew they were waiting outside?

No.
Now that you can, it is your obligation

to spare the family of another tragedy.

Besides, surely Pablo Escobar
still hates our newspaper.

Sorry, but something very serious
has happened.

What?

- There's a bill to stop the extradition.
- No, it can't be possible.

It's being evaluated
by the first Commission, by Santorini.

The House of Representatives
is looking for a president,

Javier Ortiz has just been nominated.

Both are political partners
of Pablo Escobar.

Just what we needed.

Now the drug lords have
excellent ambassadors in Congress.

Isn't the New Liberalism
going to do anything?

If the extradition fails,
the murderers of Guillermo Cano

can do whatever they want.
- We won't allow that.

We can say all we want about the treaty,
but the final decision is at Congress.

If Santorini controls both commissions,
no matter what we write,

the extradition treaty will fail.

We were missing this, huh?

Will you say you went back to work
since we stopped seeing each other?

Well, once in a while, here and there.

But I remember when you and I started.

I'd look at that ceiling
and it seemed it was going to fall.

Now look at this elegance,
and it's all thanks to you.

No, that's thanks to Chili, your brother,

because he's won all this the hard way,
as it should be.

Yes, but you helped us
become who we are today.

Would you like a soda?
- No.

You know what?

You came into our lives
and everything changed for the better,

I'm so grateful.

Look, Mireya, I have to tell you
something very important.

You can sleep with all the men you want,

but it's strictly forbidden for you
to sleep with any of my enemies.

Is that clear?

It's very difficult, but not impossible.
I've been moving around.

So? I don't know
how you'll win the election.

As I said, I've been moving around,

and now we have the support
of part of the Conservative party,

and also the left.

It's very difficult,
you'll have to face Ortiz,

and everyone knows
behind him is Santorini,

and if both of them
are going to study the prohibition

of the extradition process,
they could do it.

When are you going to believe in me?

I'm doing my work,
and I won't let them win.

If we lose the extradition, we'll lose
the only weapon we have to fight them.

I know.

Magistrate, what did the witnesses say?

That's something I can't answer.

It's already known that you're looking
into Guillermo Cano's death.

Yes, and of another important leader
of the Patriotic Union.

For which you intend to issue
an indictment against Gustavo Ramirez,.

- We'll see.
- And against Pablo Escobar?

Magistrate,
you've said nothing I can publish.

Please, say something.

That's part of a preliminary hearing,
I can't accuse anybody.

When I can accuse someone,

you and your colleagues
will know, but not for now.

- All right, one last question.
- Yes?

Are you afraid,
considering you're investigating

two of the most dangerous
and wanted men in the country?

Miss, fear paralyzes you,

and that's something I can't afford.

MONEY OR BULLET? YOU DECIDE

- Estela.
- I'm coming.

Yes, sir?

Did somebody come
into my office today?

No, sir, how can you think that?

And did you leave your desk at all?

No, of course not.

Anything else?

Miss Regina.

Don't worry, dear, I won't hurt you.

I have a message from the boss.

He'd like to know
when you can go to Medellin,

he wants to speak with you
and organize everything.

I won't go to Medellin.

Well, the boss told me,

"Look, if she doesn't come willingly,
you'll have to force her."

So I'll ask you how you'd like to go,

the right way or the wrong way?

She was paralyzed as soon as she saw me,
but then I talked to her

and she calmed down,
but she was really scared.

So what did she say?

She said she couldn't come right now,
and much less by force.

So she gave me a beeper number
where you can send her a message,

and she would answer you there.

Are you sure this thing works?
This is her number?

She was so damn scared,
I don't think she'd lie to us.

- Thank you.
- Okay, sir.

Getting up early, Juan Gui?
Or you can't sleep?

I'm worried, is all.

Fernando, do you think
we should leave the country?

We're not the only ones
of the Cano family.

If they want to hurt us,
they can go after anyone in the family.

Yes, but we write the headlines.

Do you think we're being paranoid?
We haven't received any threats.

That's why we haven't left.

Do you think Dad ever felt
this uncertainty?

What do we do?

Hello.

So, Mr. Santorini,
the great day has finally come.

Sorry, I don't know you,
I'll connect you with my secretary

for an appointment.
- Don't worry,

nobody is intercepting these calls,
don't forget who you're to talking to.

- Let this be the last time.
- How are the votes coming along?

Will Javier be the president
of the Commission?

It's a very complex situation.

What do you mean, Mr. Santorini?

Aren't you the senator
with more influence and power

within Congress?

The problem is not Ortiz.
He is firm.

The problem is Villamizar.

He's the brother in law
of Luis Carlos Galán,

a skilled politician who's conducted
Galán's campaigns in Bogotá--

So what?

I've waited
a long time for that election,

and now you tell me you've been thinking?
Thinking of what?

Have you ever thought what would happen

if the next President of Colombia
were to be me?

So, what are you thinking about,
the money I'll have to give you

to get you in power? You need that?
- A lot of it.

We need to oil the liberal machinery,

it's the only way to ensure
I'll be elected.

Everybody knows that Galán
is the favorite candidate.

With all due respect,
you couldn't even overthrow a damn law,

and now you try to convince me
to invest in you?

It's the only way
we can face Senator Galán.

No, sir.

Until I hear in the news
about the triumph of Mr. Javier Ortiz,

you and I won't talk about the possibility
of you becoming the next president.

It's that simple.
