"THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THEIR HISTORYARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "Did you knowanything about this?" "You think I'd keep quiet if I knew aboutsomething so serious?" "They arrested him,yet he's smiling." "He's looking at the photographer as if saying, "I'll beout of here very soon."" "There's also somethingvery strange here." "Escobar told you, to your face,that he had seen you in prison." "Well, that's not true." "Never have I visitedan inmate in prison, especially not in Medellin." "Everything was going so wellagainst the Minister, and just look at whatEscobar does now." "He was accused of trafficking39 kilos of coca paste." "This is not just serious.This is very serious." "We have no way todefend ourselves." "I don't know who, but I won't put my lifeon the line for a mobster!" "Neither will I!" "I'm not with Escobar!" "Well, go tell Escobarto come talk to me." "No, Senator!" "You'll have to fly to Medellin." "It's as simple as that." "I won't show any evidence, because El Espectador showedthe most obvious evidence." "Congressman Pablo Escobaris a drug trafficker." "No Congressmanwould get arrested for possessing 39 kilosof coca paste." "Does that mean youwon't take your words back?" "Of course not." "Not today, not 24 hoursfrom now... not ever." "Actually, he needs to prove that all thoseaccusations are false." "As far as I know,there are no records against CongressmanPablo Escobar." "That's until now." "Thanks to the articlepublished by El Espectador a file was openedagainst Pablo Escobar for the murder ofthe two detectives, who arrested him and his cousin." "Murder?" "Yes." "Some time after Pablo Escobar'scase was filed away, sadly, the two arresting officers appeared dead undervery strange circumstances." "You can imagine whothe prime suspect is." "I'm sure you like scoops,so I've got one for you." "I've just received a callfrom the U.S. Embassy." "They confirmed thatthe tourist visa this crook is alwaysbragging about, has just been revoked." "I don't think I'll takemy words back." "You heard me, Chili.Get all of them." "Afterwards, take careof that other thing." "All right." "What are you having them do?" "Things." "Tell me." "I can help you too." "Nah." "Some things can't be solvedby holding press conferences." "They can be solved, though." "There's a solution for this." "You have to tell themwhat you told me." "The charges were withdrawn." "You know what the problem is?" "That I'm no good at solvingmy problems with microphones." "That's not me!" "I'm fed up!" "Pablo..." "Calm down, please." "A minister has a lot of power.-And so do I!" "Look..." "I don't want to sound rudeor anything like that, but I think that thebest thing right now is for you to go to Bogota." "I don't think so." "No, I don't think so.I want to be with you." "Listen to me." "Go to Bogota." "I know why I'm saying it." "Calm down." "Be strategic and patient." "We need all of theEl Espectador newspapers." "All of them." "That's all of them?" "That's it." "I can get more." "How many do you need?" "As many as you can get." "I'll be back in an hour." "Here you are." "Thank you." "Let's go." "They're buying them." "That's been paid for." "I'll buy all of them." "You're going to sellthem for more money?" "Buy another one.We're out." "This one too." "We're taking that." "Here." "Where can I get more of those?" "Two blocks down." "Thanks, man." "What happened here?" "What's with all the smoke?" "It would've been easier to burnthat car than to do this." "Why don't you quit talkingcrap and give me a hand?" "It's useless, man.This is useless!" "I'm sorry, Mr. Gonzalo, but there are nonewspapers left in town." "Didn't you hear it's useless?" "If they read it, they read it!" "This will air onevery newscast!" "Congressman and mobster!" "Yeah, wash your hands." "Since your assisn't on the line." "Shut it, Pablo!" "I'm also there!" "Yeah, but you're not a memberof Colombia's Congress!" "Come here." "What's this?" "Patico, why don't yougo fly a kite or something?" "Chili, did you dothe other thing?" "Yes, sir." "That's underway." "Honey, can you give me a moment?" "I don't have time to talkto you right now." "The mister doesn'thave time to talk!" "Can you understand that?" "I don't have time!" "Did you hear that?" "Yeah, but don't get upset." "We have a lot ofproblems right now." "Gonzalo, you think I feellike having this baby considering his attitude?" "Do me a favor andtell him what I'm saying, while I go do whatMr." "Congressman requested!" "Go on, man!" "Colonel." "Come in, please." "Excuse me, sir." "I'm sorry for showing upunannounced." "Don't worry." "You're my partner in this fight.You're always welcome here." "Take a seat.How can I help you?" "Minister, I've got great news." "Great!" "Today is the day for good news." "Look at this." "About time." "Fighting alone isn't easy." "Listen carefully." "If you love Medellin andMagdalena Medio, do not buy El Espectador." "Pablo, I agree with Gonzalo." "Telling people to not buy thatnewspaper is useless." "That's the problem." "Pablo wants to kill the messagebut not the messenger." "I insist El Espectadorisn't the problem." "Of course El Espectadoris the problem." "They're the only newspapertalking badly about us." "What about the news report?" "The news is no news, Mariachi." "Did you find out aboutwhere my money comes from by reading El Espectador?" "Pablo, Pablo." "Don't play dumb." "You know whatwe're talking about." "Listen to this guy." "Who's playing dumb?" "Calm down, man." "We're just talking." "Nah, man.Just talking Gonzalo?" "On top of everything,my own friends are judging me?" "No way." "Calm down, Pablo." "No one's judging you." "We're just saying your fightisn't against El Espectador." "That's all." "You don't have toremind me of that." "I know that." "I know my fight is against" "Minister of JusticeRodrigo Lara Bonilla." "You started that fightwhen you went to Bogota to screw around with all that." "That's got nothingto do with it." "Of course it does." "Your idea of writing acheck out to the Minister..." "Pablo, we all know youlove political power, and you're going toget it no matter how." "But what about usand the business?" "Are things going badly?" "That's why mycousin's here." "My associate." "He's taking care of everything." "Don't think everythingwill stay the same after what you gotinto with the Minister." "Someone's going to have topay the consequences here." "They'll come after uslike never before." "That's just what's happening,in case you hadn't noticed." "It's all your fault!" "Yeah, right!" "This is going to benefit us." "The conditions are different." "No, the conditionsare getting better." "I'm sacrificing myselffor you all." "Yes, they are getting better." "You're not saying the truth nor can you back upwhat you're saying." "If you're going to saysomething, say the truth!" "Calm down." "So now I owe you?" "Calm down, Pablo." "I'll do whatever you want.You're the boss here." "Two points!" "Two points!" "Stop being so loud." "Two points!" "You'll wake up the baby." "Ready." "Look." "How beautiful, man." "This is one of the secrets of the peak of the northeasterncommune in Medellin." "Don't you think it's amazing?" "It is amazing, bro." "All of Medellin is at our feet." "While all of Colombiais on top of us." "Yes, life is unfair... just as Mariachi is." "He came to try me." "That problem is also ours." "Pablo, your problemsare also absolutely ours." "Yes, I know, Gonzalo." "I curse the day I decidedto go into politics." "I have something to tell you." "What?" "Well, Patico told me she doesn't want to havethat baby with you, Pablo." "What?" "That's right." "You think ourmarriage is in shape for us to have a baby?" "Don't say that." "I want to make it very clear that this isn't whatI want for my life." "I..." "Let me talk." "You're keeping me in this houselike another accessory... like something youcan just move around, someone to raise Emilio,to keep everything right." "But you and I areno longer a couple!" "This isn't a marriage anymore!" "I want you to know that you're the mostimportant woman in my life." "You are the reasonfor everything I do." "Everything I do, I do itfor you, my family." "Well, why do youhave more women?" "Tell me why!" "What women?" "What women?" "Those tramps." "The tramps you're always with." "That's not true." "I don't know who's puttingthose ideas in your head." "Where are you getting that from?" "I love you, and I love my familymore than anything else." "Get that in your head." "I'm sorry." "Come here." "There, there." "Sir, this arrived for you." "Thank you." "Two members of theDAS were murdered." "Yes, sir." "Thank you." "You may go." "Excuse me, sir." "This is the caseagainst Pablo Escobar." "My God." "Let's dream of a clean Colombia!" "Let's dream of apeaceful Colombia!" "Congratulations." "Very good." "Minister, how are you?" "May I have a word with you?" "No, ma'am." "I'm sorry, but I'm not doingany interviews right now." "Excuse me." "Minister, with all due respect,don't attack Pablo Escobar." "You did your job already." "Now allow the judgeon this case to do his." "Is this a threat?" "Is it a message?" "Minister, I'm here tellingyou what I think." "If this is a message from who I don't know who..." "Dr. Lara, please." "I'm no one's messenger." "I'm here because I think you'reone of the few politicians that really doesserve this country." "That's all." "Thank you." "Pablo, I came several daysago so we could talk." "I can't believe youshowed up just now." "I was busy." "We have to talk here in this place?" "What's wrong with this place?" "This place is of the peopleand for the people." "As politicians, it is ourmoral responsibility to be with the people." "You should know that, sir." "Yes, Pablo, but we have to have class." "There are things in politicsthat are dealt with at the level of presidentialfamilies or senators." "This is unbearable." "Your fight with the Ministerhas gotten to a point that..." "You understand, Pablo?" "I think this is as faras I can help you." "My fight with the Minister?" "You forgot you were the onewho put in my head the idea of characterassassination?" "That's just what happened when your pictureappeared on El Espectador." "You understand?" "You know whatI've come to ask for." "This is a letter, which is very well written,as I wrote it myself." "It says that youresign from Congress." "You just have to sign." "Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria,that's it." "I write my ownletters, buddy." "Excuse me." "Nicky..." "I'll be done in a bit.-No, no!" "The Minister of Justice called." "He's going to give us a scoop." "Head over there right now." "Yes, sir." "Keep me informed, Colonel." "Don't worry, minister." "I'll keep you posted onanything that goes on." "I'm sorry!" "I almost didn't make it." "Don't worry, Nicky." "You're right on time." "Relax." "Take care of her, Colonel." "You owe me one, Minister." "It's a fact!" "Pablo has said we will to expand!" "We are going to do it well." "Listen up!" "We're going to build two morelabs just like this one." "Identical." "Our personnel are authorizedto take down the forest as they wish." "One thing, though." "Respect the placefor the animals and the place for the housesof the people who'll work here." "I think I've said everything." "Get to work." "Now enjoy the girls." "This isn't easy withouta good roll in the hay." "Colonel, where are we going?" "We're in the middleof the jungle." "You'll see soon enough, Nicky." "Today's a historic dayfor our country." "Could we be in any danger?" "Didn't you speakto the Minister?" "This is a high-risk operation." "I thought you knew." "Those disgusting gringossnort that crap." "That's right, boss, but the important thing isthat we take their money." "Turn that music off." "You got it, boss." "Quickly." "Quiet everyone down." "Quiet.Turn the music off!" "What is that, Colonel?" "The largest cocaine planting the country, perhaps in the world." "Those bastards caught us." "Where's the runway?" "This way, boss." "Captain, return fire!" "Faster!" "Where's that damn runway?" "Run!" "They're going to get us!" "Get this plane in the air!" "We're taking a beating!" "Freeze!" "Police!" "Women to the right!" "Men, face down on the groundwith your hands on your head!" "Freeze!" "Get on the ground!" "Get to the kitchen!" "The lab!" "Dear Lord..." "We were lucky to get away,but we lost the money." "Damn, they got away." "I'm here to announce my complete and total resignationfrom politics." "I came to this decisionon September of last year." "I will not change my mind." "I ratify it, regardless of all thesupport I've received from all the towns and fromthe lower socioeconomic areas in Medellin." "Quickly, women to the right!" "Men on the ground,hands on your heads!" "Don't lift your headoff the ground!" "Get them over here quickly!" "Quintana, watch the women." "Get your hands up!" "Nobody move!" "Is this the lab?" "Yes." "I'll also point outthe enormous difference between my 17 arduous andunrelenting years of civic duty compared to the few months of my active participationin politics, to which I gavemyself completely, believing that it would bea means to channel" "many options and resourcesbenefitting the people." "Sincerely yours," "Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria." "The jungle is large enough." "Fortunately, we haveenough capital to consider animportant reinvestment." "If that's the case, we'll buildanother lab twice as big." "We can begin producingan entire ton instead of just 500 kilos." "That's all well and good, but who's to say ifthey got this one, they won't get the other one?" "That man on the anti-drugpolice force is something else." "He's no idiot." "He's a decorated,incorruptible official." "Colonel Jimenez himself was puting charge of the operation." "I'm certain he's the onewho found Tranquilandia." "Yeah, but we're clean." "There isn't any prooftying us to the lab." "There." "Drop it.Slowly." "Hands on your head." "Lace your fingers together!" "How long before thepeople caught at the lab snitch and revealthe lab was ours?" "So we contact each and everyemployee and kill them." "What about El Espectador?" "They've messed with all of us." "They messed with you, with Herber, with the Motoas,and with yours truly." "Now they're screwing uswith this story that we're tied to soccer teams." "You know who tied you tothe soccer teams, right?" "Minister Lara Bonilla." "That's another one." "Exactly." "He's to blame for everything." "He's the one who accused usand has us on the run and with nowhere tocook the merchandise." "The drug trafficking ringtook a serious blow." "I believe the entire countryshould celebrate." "The biggest lab ever captured,with a daily output approximated at more than500 kilos of cocaine." "A true factory ofcrime and shame." "The authorities haveuncovered Tranquilandia." "This represents a relief for Colombia becausethis was a source of shame for the country tothe entire world." "Any questions?" "The only person to blamefor all that's happening to us has a name, and it'sRodrigo Lara Bonilla," "Minister of Justice." "Ok Pablo..." "You'll forgive me, but the onlyone to blame here is you." "First, for trying to be a savior and later for believingthat cheat who got you into politics." "Let's do something." "Or are you justgoing to sit there after all we've been throughbecause of that minister?" "At no point will I justsit here, Mariachi." "Sorry to tell you, but it's been six months,and you've done nothing." "How much longerwill I have to wait before you avengewhat Rodrigo Lara did?" "Or should I wait for himto show up at your house, f*** your wife,and go his merry way?" "F*** who?" "Don't get like that..." "No, no, no." "F*** who?" "Don't get upset.I didn't mean to offend." "I just said that soyou'd wake up and realize we have to dosomething about that minister." "Forgive me." "Discovering anddestroying that lab is the best thing thatcould've happened to you." "Thank you.I agree also." "And the worst." "How the worst?" "You've causedincalculable damage to Pablo Escobarand El Mariachi." "Do you know how much drugswere produced daily at that lab?" "I don't understand how thatcould work against me." "The opposite should be true." "After the scandalsI've been victim of, this irrefutably proves thatmy war is against those crooks." "That's exactly whatthis is about." "About the war." "In all wars, the attackscome from both sides." "Could you please be more clear,Mr. Guillermo?" "My journalists in Medellin and the ones who coverthe Emerald Region where El Mariachi can be found, have told me what happenedwith Tranquilandia was a powerful blow." "There's a rumor going around that El Mariachiand Pablo Escobar aren't going to sit idly by." "So I'd recommendthat you be careful." "I'm the Minister of Justice." "Do you have credible informationthat they might try to kill me or something like that?" "No, I don't have that." "But..." "Sometimes we don't knowwho we're up against, so it's best to be careful." "Mom, may I speak with Daddy?" "Rodrigo, call Daddy later." "He's busy right now." "Okay.Bye." "Bye, sweetie." "Good day, Minister." "Excuse me." "El Mariachi got all worked up,that's all." "If it weren't for the moneyand people he's got," "I'd get rid of that sissywithout thinking twice." "Settle down, Pablo." "He's your partner.He's not some nobody." "You think I'm scared of that sissyor something?" "What's up, boss?" "What do we have to talkto these people about, huh?" "You'll see." "Just be calm." "What's up, Pablo?" "Great to see you here again." "How's it going, Gonzalo?" "Good?" "Fine." "It's always a surprise for me." "How is it we're having a meetingfrom one day to the next?" "Yeah." "Bro, the peoplehaven't arrived yet." "Pablo, is everything all right?" "You look uneasy." "I'm bad.Everything's bad." "While Minister of JusiceRodrigo Lara Bonilla" "Rodrigo Lara Bonilla is still Minister, everything is going to be bad." "What about whatthey did to our lab?" "Pedro, I've had enough!" "Enough!" "Enough of the Minister,of the accusations, enough of the statements,enough of the raids." "No more.I'm done." "Calm down." "Hello?" "Hi, Rodrigo.What are you up to?" "Playing." "That's good, but rememberyou have homework." "Before long it'll be nighttime,and then you'll be in trouble." "Yes, sir." "Your mother said youneeded to talk to me." "Is everything alright?" "A letter from school came." "A letter." "Why didn't you read itto your mother?" "It's for you." "I read it already." "What does it say?" "It's long, but it says we can'tgo on the school bus tomorrow." "What?" "Gentlemen, I find the decisiontaken against Mr. Lara Bonilla is totally extreme." "I don't think so." "For God's sake, he's a minister." "Me neither." "Pablo, I have something to say." "You're the one whogot mixed up with him when you wantedto be a Congressman, which doesn't do us any good." "The only thing Pablo'stried to do all this time is help the country politically." "He couldn't?" "Well then, he couldn't." "But that man is our enemy, an enemy to all of us, to our organizationand our business." "There's one thingI don't understand." "Why do you guys not wantto be a part of this?" "Hold on a moment." "We didn't say we won'tbe a part of this." "Don't you realize if wego down, you go down too?" "Are you too chicken todo anything or what?" "Wait right there, Mariachi." "Nobody's chicken." "And nobody's makingany excuses either." "We're meeting here today because we knowthe trouble we're in." "I'll repeat what German said." "We're going to haveserious problems." "We're talking about a minister." "This country'sMinister of Justice." "Pablo, why don't you reconsider?" "When you're calmand levelheaded." "And if you still wantto do this, do it, but wait till he'snamed Ambassador." "All the ministers eventuallybecome ambassadors." "Excellent idea, Pedro!" "The best." "Think about it, Pablo." "It's a minister who screwed me,not an ambassador." "So it'll be a minister who dies." "Slow down." "Rodrigo, slow down." "Bye.Take care." "Stay close!" "I can't believe my kidsare being treated like this." "I spoke to theschool's principal." "It's for safety reasons." "For whom?" "For everybody else's kids?" "But they don't care if anythinghappens to my kids." "Don't say that." "I'm not." "It's discrimination." "It's not their fault about what is happening." "It's also absurd for themto think they'll hurt them." "Put yourself ineveryone else's shoes." "We wouldn't want somethinghappening to our kids either because of someone else." "Come on, Domingo." "Look at him." "He's the one.Why keep looking?" "He's a great rider." "What's up, Chili?" "What's up, you devil?" "How are you?" "Good." "I was looking for you." "Let me introduceyou to a friend." "Nice to meet you, man.Byron Velasquez." "Get off that bike." "We need to talk business." "The judge's nameis Gonzalo Zuloaga." "He lives here in Medellin." "A little over fiftyyears old, married, and has two kids." "We found out thatit won't be long before he has youand Gonzalo arrested." "One more thing." "The guy is sickly." "He's got polio orsomething like it." "He walks on crutches." "Gonzalo what?" "Zuloaga." "You were serious." "I brought you here for a reason." "Don't you trust me?" "You know how it is with me." "Serafin." "Come here, dude." "Who are they?" "This is Chili and Topo." "Did you lose anything?" "Hey, Chili." "Like it or not?" "Nice looking guy." "Who?" "Me?" "Relax." "Take it easy." "Do you like him or not, Topo?" "You're recommending that idiot?" "He's the best gunmanthat I have for you." "Trust me." "He's the best." "If something goes wrong,you'll have to pay." "Colonel, I'm so sorry." "I haven't been thinking straightthese last few days." "Sir, I don't want to alarm you,confuse you, or much less scare you." "I know, colonel.Don't worry." "I know." "Would you like a drink?" "No, thanks." "I was talking toColonel Muriel Peraza." "Your life is in danger." "Pablo Escobar got togetherwith El Mariachi... and a few other drug dealers." "They were in Medellinnot too long ago." "And according to you, that implies thatmy life is in danger." "They're here in Bogota." "They want to kill you." "I find that hardto believe, Colonel." "I'm the Minister,who is still in office." "That's why we haveto reinforce security and follow all protocol." "This is ridiculous." "Pablo Escobar andall those other bandits are the ones whoshould fear us." "Not the other way around." "Yes." "Colonel, I know you're busy." "I appreciate it." "Excuse me." "It looks like Pablo andGraciela had lots of problems in the sunny city and hadto go to California." "Before you start askingany questions, you've got to relax." "I've got everythingsquared away already." "Graciela's goingto end up in jail for looking to fightwith those Cubans." "Remember what I told you." "What do we care about Graciela?" "I told you, I've goteverything ready." "I've got people in Miamiand in the Bahamas to distribute the merchandise." "Relax." "Always so efficient." "You see?" "I'm sick of thesubject of politics." "We've got to thinkabout business." "We've got to keepselling.." "I'll take care of that." "Fabio..." "Sir?" "We've got to open upat least ten more labs, but here in Antioquia." "I won't be caught withmy pants down again like they did in the jungle." "We've got to go in winningwhen the war begins." "What do you mean?" "What war?" "You don't have toworry about that." "That's why I'm here." "We've finished two labs... and these are the plansfor the other two." "Just a moment, Pablo." "Tell us about the war." "Aren't you thinking aboutthe trouble we'll be in because of what you're thinkingof doing to the Minister?" "Don't start." "Pablo, listen up." "Things are complicatedenough already to now kill someone likeRodrigo Lara." "With him dead, half the worldwill come after us." "Whoever messes with me,has to pay." "If half the worldcomes after us, then we'll hire the otherhalf to defend me." "That's why I need my financesto be in order." "We've got to haveour pockets full when that day comes." "Don't worry about that." "All right." "Pay attention." "Those are two entrances."
