Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord

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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

Marcia, how could he be kidnapped in broad daylight?

That's impossible.

The bodyguards were there.

Mauricio, I don't know who else to call, okay?

Don't leave me alone. Please help me.

No, it's good you called.

I'll go to Medellin right now to see what I can do from there.

Hernán told me he was having problems with the people from Cali.

What if they did this?

We have to find out.

We have to ask the big boss in Medellin first.

You know he must be informed about everything that happens.

Pablo Escobar.

If the Cali people have him,

and they find out the boss of bosses supports him,

they will have to let him go.

Please, tell me what's going on.

Please, don't leave me with this terrible stomach ache.

Hey, I'm talking to you. Can you look at me?

What happened? Where are you taking all that money?

Listen, sir? Where is my husband?

What do I do? Tell me, please.

Listen, ma'am, you're getting on my nerves.

I'm only doing my job.

I was sent for the money and that's what I'm doing.

Don't make any more questions.

He is very cautious with his money. Why didn't he come get it himself?

I don't even know the combination of the safe vault myself.

Tell me what's going on. Where is he? Why didn't he come himself?

- Answer me! - He's busy doing his job.

Please ask him to call me. I don't know what to do.

Listen, I'll tell you what.

Where is the rest of the money? Where else does he keep money?

Is this all you have?

You are taking it all! What else do you want?

- Are you sure? - Of course I am.

What's this?

That's useless to you, because it's mine. Put it back.

Sure, I can use it. Are you kidding?

- They're my jewels. - Of course I can use it.

But that's mine. Take his money and that's it.

So long. Bye.

Ask him to call me, will you?

I will, and if there's anything you need, give me a call, okay?

Be very careful with the money.

Good afternoon, Colonel. Colonel, you have a phone call.

- Thank you. - Excuse me.

Hello.

Filling papers is how you pursue the criminals in this country?

Good afternoon, General.

Is that what you do when you promise

you're pursuing Pablo Escobar and the Motoa brothers?

General, I assure you we've performed a serious investigation, sir.

We've done intelligence work at the school.

And what do you in the meantime? You take courses overseas?

Do you think I'll authorize your departure from the country,

when I need you here pursuing criminals and showing results?

It was a plan for next year, sir.

Why don't you focus on this year, Pedregal?

Listen to me very carefully,

I need an important casualty or an arrest within this month.

Otherwise, you can forget about your position.

It's great to have you here, Mauricio!

This is really a nice surprise.

But tell me, why did you leave Panama again?

What happened, man?

Well, I don't like to leave my house but circumstances forced me to do it.

Blanca! Dora! Bring us two beers, please!

Tell me, what happened?

I don't know if you remember Hernán Valencia, my childhood friend.

Of course, Mad Valencia. What's with him?

I think he was kidnapped.

What do you mean, Mauricio?

Some guys took him out of his apartment right in front of his wife.

They took him in a van, and, who knows?

- Do you know anything about it? - How should I know?

- What are implying? - Nothing, nothing.

Don't misinterpret me, Pablo.

I ask, because nothing happens in Medellin without you knowing about it.

Then it happened for the first time.

Let me find out what's going on, because I'm quite surprised.

If I had known about it, I would have called you first, Mauricio.

You mean it, Pablo?

What do you mean, Mauricio? Of course I mean it.

What do I have to do for you to believe me, huh?

You think he's locked inside my house? Do you want to check the freezer?

Blanca, open the freezer for the gentleman.

Go ahead, check. You think he's in here?

Give me a break, man.

Hey, listen.

What?

Go to the store and get something to drink.

I should stay and keep an eye on the snitch, you know?

Then go check if there's something to drink in here.

No, it's too hot in there. I'd rather be thirsty.

Whatever.

Plinio, did you manage to get the deeds of my friend's ranch?

Of course.

This is the one for the house in El Poblado.

This is the one for the mall.

And here is the deed for the ranch.

Perfect, let's start with the Correa ranch.

Go ahead, son. Sign it.

I can't believe you're betraying me.

I'm not betraying you, Correa. On the contrary, I'm saving your life.

What would you call choosing the Cali Cartel people over your partners?

What do you expect me to do?

Start a war with the Cali Cartel because of you?

Forget about it. Sign it, come on.

Can you imagine what would happen

if they made an alliance with the National Government?

- We'd be exterminated. - Exactly. Right, Plinio?

- All of us. -They would kill us all.

So, please cooperate and sign. This one, too. Thank you.

Chili, ask Orlando if he already has the deeds of Santa María de La Loma.

And the offices in Chapinero, too.

Done.

- Here's the Santa María one. - Santa María is...

What's this? It's the Chapinero stuff.

Sign here.

If you are out of ink, you can use mine.

If those people call...

will we know where they have him?

Yes, Marcia. Don't worry.

I swear we're going to find Hernán. Don't worry.

Are your finances so bad that you're fleecing second-rate individuals?

Yeah, sort of.

I invested too much money in the Monaco building.

Plus, the Cuba route isn't working properly.

So, yes. A little bit.

I can lend you money, if you need it.

Do you think I'd like to owe you money?

- How ungrateful, man. - I'm not ungrateful, son.

If you want to help me, you should give it to me, not lend it to me.

Listen to this guy. Give it to you?

Hello?

Pablo, you have a week to give me one of your men, you understand?

We are in deep trouble now.

Excuse me?

They're asking me for results, Pablo. Things are getting hard.

Either you give me one, or I'll have to find one myself.

I'm terribly sorry, Colonel, but don't mess with me.

You and I have a deal.

We have a different one now, Pablo.

It's simple-- take it or leave it.

Pablo?

Pablo?

Give me one week.

Trouble?

Yeah, sort of.

Tell me you have good news, please.

Mrs. Laura, things are tough.

Tell her, Kiko. The lady is anxious.

I am.

Mrs. Laura, the problem is

the Cali Cartel people have your husband,

and that complicates things. Right, Chili?

Yes, things are very complicated.

What?

What do you mean the Cali Cartel? What was that money you took for?

To try to solve the problem, but it's quite difficult, Mrs. Laura.

The boss is taking care of it, working on his release.

Is there anything we can do? Maybe I can talk to them.

- Is there anything we can do? - That would complicate things even more.

The only thing we can do is give them the ten million dollars they asked for.

Ten million dollars?

Those guys are out of their minds!

Where am I going to get that money from? Ten million dollars?

Explain her that we are trying to help.

The boss thought that the amount was too high, too.

So he managed to lower it to five million.

But less than that would be tough.

Yeah? And who's going to assure me that my husband is okay?

What if they ask me for all that money for a dead body?

Don't be suspicious, Mrs. Laura. It's not a good time for that.

I'm sure your husband is alive and kicking.

Just give us the money, and he'll be here tomorrow.

All right.

I'll give you two million dollars,

as long as you guarantee that my husband is all right.

I'll give you the other two when they release him.

I have no more money.

- Okay, we will talk to the boss. - Tell Pablo--

But hurry and get the rest of the money, Mrs. Laura.

Tell your boss I appreciate his help.

All right, bye, Mrs. Laura. Thank you for the coffee.

It was delicious.

- So long. - Bye.

Oh, God! Oh, dear God!

Hey, guys.

At least tell me where we are, okay?

You're from Cali, right?

Look, whatever Gildardo is paying you,

I'll double it.

I'll triple it.

I'll tell you what.

Let's call my wife, and I'll make the arrangements.

What do you say, huh?
