"Escobar's got a lot of enemies." "I heard from Messina this morning." "There's a lot of eyes on them and us, so she wants us to steer clear." " Are you working for Los Pepes, Murphy?" " No, I'm not." "Then I guess we're good." "[Latin music plays over radio]" "[in Spanish]" "[phone rings]" " - [Berna]" "[Steve] For Los Pepes, it was easy." "They had all the man-on-the-street intelligence they needed." "If they'd heard a guy, take Jairo for example, was in a certain vicinity, they just asked around and they'd find him." "But for us, well, we had to go door-to-door, asking for help from people who don't tell cops shit." "[in Spanish]" "[Steve] Los Pepes, on the other hand, had no problems." "They were quite persuasive." "[murmuring in Spanish]" "Sure, once in a while, we got lucky and picked somebody up." "But it was rarely the guy we were looking for." "[arguing in Spanish]" "[Steve] It was slow-going." "[Martinez in Spanish]" "[in English] We're too late." "Says they already got him." "We finally get corroboration on Jairo, Martinez orders the raid..." "So?" "Well, so, how does Los Pepes get here first?" "Maybe he got followed." "Or the dumb fuck shot his mouth off and somebody else got lucky." "Mmm." "That's it?" "That's all you got to say on that?" "Yeah." "If it worries you, look into it." "[Steve] "Look into it"?" "Right." "Nobody was looking into it." "Why would they?" "Pablo's crew was turning up dead all over Medellín, and Jairo became the latest victim." "The terror that Pablo had spread across the country was finally back on him tenfold." "Los Pepes' method was working." "And you better believe it was getting to Escobar."

"[line ringing]" "[Berna in Spanish]" "[Steve] I didn't know how Los Pepes was beating us to the punch." "Not yet anyway." "What I did know was that if Search Bloc was gonna have any kind of impact on the hunt for Pablo, we'd have to play the game better and faster." "All right, Blackie's had a girlfriend in Envigado for a while." "According to Centra Spike, the last known intercept places her somewhere in this vicinity." "Yeah." "And how's that relevant?" "Intel says she's pregnant." "I know protocol is to vet intel, wait for corroboration, but I feel this one in my gut, sir." "Blackie's gonna show." "Los Pepes keeps getting the jump on us, sicarios are gonna keep winding up dead." "This way, we get to Blackie first, bring that son of a bitch in and get something out of him." "Well, we could set up a perimeter." "No one walks in or out." "[Steve] Collapse that perimeter house by house." " [Martinez] Yeah." " [Steve] Sounds good to me." "[groans, in Spanish]" "[Blackie] [chatter in Spanish]" " [in English] Hey!" " Hey." "What's going on?" "Martinez gave the green light to go after Blackie." " It's a good thing, right?" " Yeah."

" Make sure it doesn't go too far." " So that doesn't go too far?" "The good guys, they got guns pointing at their fucking head" " and the bad guys get away with it?" " Who are the good guys, Steve?" "That's us?" "[in Spanish]" "[sighs softly]" "[Steve] Los Pepes may have seemed to be running the board, but Escobar still had a trick or two up his sleeve." "Remember I told you Ricardo Prisco was a licensed doctor?" "Well, he was." "And as such, he had privileges at just about every hospital in Medellín." "Including the one where the Los Pepes gunman he shot was recovering." "Unfortunately for that guy, Dr. Prisco paid him a visit." "[in Spanish]" " [muffled screams]" " Shh!"

"[chuckles]" "I know of only one person in Colombia with the balls big enough to go after that guy." "Yeah, Pablo Escobar." "He had to have had a damn good reason." "I'd like to shift some of our resources from Medellín to Cali." "Now's a bad time to deviate from Medellín." "Cali is trafficking in the billions right now." " If they get a free head start..." " You're not wrong." "But you're thinking about this too logically." "The best thing for you right now is to keep your head in the game." "Because right now, the game is Pablo Escobar." "Right."

"Even if one does approve of the results." "[sighs]" "Mr. President, I'm no one to bullshit." "Maybe that's hurt me in my career." "Yes, Los Pepes are an ugly business." "They're getting to Escobar." "That's all that matters at the present." "If I condemn them," "I have to police them." "With politics and war... the trick is in the timing." "Watch how they evolve, how their actions are received."

"I liked him." "Stayed in his lane." "So, as I'm sure you know," "I recently asked for a resource redirect into some emerging players in the trafficking world." " A group based in Cali."
