Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord

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

PABLO ESCOBAR, THE LORD OF EVIL

I need you to personally take care of the next mission.

- Tell me what has to be done. - We're going to kill Galán.

Life is too short to be wasted,

but life is thrilling to be spent in benefit of our country.

We are changing the conscience of the Colombian people

in a way we can really progress,

to acquire dignity,

to acquire full awareness of our rights,

to prevent it from being a marginalized, secondary country.

So no Colombian ever feels ashamed

to show the passport of their country.

Why will you run for president?

How could I not run if I'm going to win?

Why run for senate when you'll be the president?

We are doing what Mao would have called the "long march" through the institutions.

To liberty,

to justice,

to democracy,

to peace.

Always forward, not one single step back.

Listen. No, no, no.

I think the campaign is going wonderfully.

No doubt about it.

But Maruja and I are talking about the security issue.

I'm sorry, Luis Carlos, but things are complicated.

It's a miracle that Alberto is alive.

Besides, surveys say you are a sure winner.

There is no need to expose yourself that much.

You forget that in this survey, I'm going to face

the most powerful overlords of the liberal party.

After fighting to make the survey,

I can't drop my guard.

One can't drop the guard and have the same security.

Don't forget the attack against me, Luis Carlos.

It was retaliation because of what happened at the Congress.

Besides, they thought they owned the Chamber First Commission

and thus could legislate as they pleased.

You and Alberto got in their way.

Therefore, they aren't happy.

The New Liberalism is those people's enemy,

and now you're exposed.

I believe only a few of us should know about the agenda.

And it's important to keep the hour of your public appearances to ourselves.

All right. That's a very good idea.

You know what? You tell him.

He doesn't listen to me.

No, don't put ideas in her head.

For God's sake, Maruja. It's like you didn't know me.

You say the same thing every day.

No, I can't do it anymore. You can't either, right?

It is not nagging, Luis Carlos.

Excuse me.

Your new bodyguard is outside and he wants to meet you.

A new bodyguard? Nobody told me anything.

I thought you knew, sir.

General Peraza decided to change your bodyguards

and I was the only one left.

Wait a minute. This is absurd.

Why are we the last ones to find out about the bodyguard change?

Mr. Galán. Ma'am.

Good afternoon, nice to meet you.

I'm Lieutenant Tomas Pereira, your new chief bodyguard

and I'm at your service.

I think that's really the best decision.

It's the only one.

After we received those phone calls, you must leave right now.

Fer and I discussed the subject, but we hadn't made a decision.

The threats leave no doubts.

That's why we decided to leave.

Mom, nobody knows this newspaper like you do.

I think you should run it.

Nene Nuñez can give you advice, but I think you should be in control.

We'll see about that.

What matters now is getting both of you out of here.

I called your aunts in Barcelona.

They have a small apartment, but you will fit in it.

As long as they are away, discomfort doesn't matter.

Cami, Mom, take good care of yourselves.

We don't know when the family or the newspaper could be harmed.

We're going to be okay. You two are priority, okay?

A question.

The editorial line of the newspaper

regarding drug trafficking and the Medellin Cartel

will prevail, right?

Of course it will.

It's Guillermo's legacy.

And despite the danger, it will prevail.

Mom.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye.

Bye, sweetie.

Which one of the two queer niggers called to threaten the Canos?

Neither one, boss.

I swear to my mother we've only been doing intelligence work, boss.

I assure you we are ready to steal the candies.

What did I say? You are taking too long.

How many days have you been in Bogotá and nothing?

And this goes for you two too.

I haven't heard anything about that either.

Sir, that mission is about to be accomplished.

The problem is the man has five different routes,

but we will catch him one of these days.

Keep waiting like a couple morons and he's going to escape too.

If the Cano brothers escaped, you had to attack El Espectador.

Do I have to explain everything, idiots?

The same goes for both of you.

How long do I have to wait for you to take out the Magistrate?

Don't worry, boss.

Those jerks will have their own apocalypse this week.

It has to be done this week.

You understand?

If that jerk signs and dies, all the more reason we'll be blamed.

Sir, is there another way we could attack, or what?

Do me a favor and get this in your head.

Dynamite is the atomic bomb of the poor people.

Blow up the place, queers!

Mrs. Ana Maria,

What kind of protection are you exactly asking me for?

I understand your children are already out of the country.

Two of them, but I have five.

Yes, I know what you mean.

But the threats were against Juan Guillermo and Fernando.

Yes, but since they know they can't do anything to them,

they may be planning to do something else.

Tell me, what can I do to know if they are?

Could you give us armored cars?

No, Mrs. Ana Maria. I have no more armored cars.

What about the newspaper and its facilities?

The journalists? At least protect them.

Listen, Mrs. Ana Maria,

The Embassy of the U.S. evaluated the situation

and they stated it wasn't serious.

Listen, please.

Put yourself in my place.

The newspaper's editorial line hasn't changed.

I understand you, Mrs. Ana Maria.

But I'd like you to understand me too.

Put yourself in my place.

Believe me, I'm worried about your safety,

and of the newspaper, and of the journalists,

but honestly,

besides offering you more police protection,

and teaching you how to use a gun,

I don't know what else I could do for you.

All right, next question.

What is the Holy Trinity?

Isn't the trinity that fork the devil carries with him?

Sorry.

"Excuse me," Mariachi would say.

What's so funny?

Don't be so ignorant, Emilio.

That's called a trident. The devil's trident.

That's it, the Holy Trident.

Emilio, do me a favor.

Go to my room and get the book with the little cross on my bedside table.

There's something I want to show you.

- Fine. - Go, dear.

Do you think it's fair that Emilio had to take Communion

without knowing about religion?

What's wrong with it?

You and I took Communion and we weren't religion experts, right?

I did have a preparation. I took catechism classes.

What's the problem, Pato?

Didn't you tell me you wanted us to raise the boy as a normal kid

and that he had to take Communion like every other kid?

That's what we did.

What's wrong with that, Patico?

Honey, do you think it is normal for a boy to take Communion alone?

Did you take the First Communion alone?

What does that change? I bought my high school diploma.

Have things gone bad for us?

No, they have been good. So don't worry about that, okay?

Sir, you have a call from your wife.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hi, gorgeous.

Yes, I'm about to finish.

I said yes. I won't take long.

No, whatever you like. Everything you cook is delicious.

I'll get the wine.

Okay.

I said I won't take long.

I love you, bye.

Yellow.

Here you go, ma'am.

Confirmed, buddy. They are on their way.

All right, boy.

Whenever you are ready. The traffic light is in red.

Let's go now.

Pray Mary and beg for a miracle.

Move it, pal.

Okay. Thank you, pal.

Let's do this, son.

Ready.

Run!

Let's go!

Didn't he take the money or what?

Well, no.
