"THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THEIR HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT." "Question, Mr. Escobar." "How do you feel now that you're running for Congress?" "What are your plans for Medellin?" "We're not answering any questions right now from journalists." "Will you tell the country where you got you fortune after you take office?" "What?" "You are one of the wealthiest men in the country, sir." "Did you really make that fortune by selling land and cattle?" "I'd like to know if there's anyone in this country who can say otherwise." "Boss..." "Answer me." "What's your name?" "Nicky Polania from El Espectador." "Will you answer me?" "Once I take office in the House of Representatives," "I'll gladly answer all your questions." "Let's wait till then." "Yes, wait till then." "Where are you going?" "I'm Mr. Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria and I'm here to take office as a member of the Colombian House of Representatives." "I'll let you in, sir, but not like that." "How?" "With no tie!" "Well..." "Does anyone have a tie?" "Here, Chili." "Make sure it's on correctly." "How's that?" "Yes, sir." "How's my hair?" "It's great." "Yes, sir." "All set." "Thank you very much." "Do you swear to defend and uphold the Constitution and the laws of this nation, and to faithfully carry out your duties?" "Yes, I do." "Look, it's the boss!" "He's all dressed up." "Good one, boss!" "How's everything, Nicky?" "Sir, there's no record of there ever being a trial." "That's impossible." "They file everything away there." "It's impossible anywhere else, but in this country?" "What are you saying?" "That if Pablo Escobar has the money to set up a zoo then he's got the money to pay someone to get rid of a few papers?" "We'd be back to square one again." "Not really." "At least we know he was in trial in Medellin and was then moved to Pasto." "A trial with no evidence." "We only have testimonies." "Testimonies of people who are afraid of talking, who are afraid for their lives." "No, sir." "Having this information and not being able to publish it is very frustrating." "Frustrating... but we're talking about ending the career of a congressman." "We know Pablo Escobar is a drug dealer, but don't forget that as long as we don't have the evidence we can't publish anything in the paper." "So, let Pablo Escobar carry on pretending to be an honorable member of the House of Representatives." "We'll see you tomorrow." "Same channel, same time." "Tell the driver to get the car." "Excuse me, ma'am." "I want to see tomorrow's clothes, please." "Also, bring me my things." "I'm changing here." "Excuse me, miss!" "I've got a message from the boss." "Excuse me?" "The boss?" "What did she say?" "She sent you this." ""I don't do messengers."" "Should we follow her?" "Nah." "Let's go grab something to eat." "Close your mouth when you're chewing gum." "That's gross." "What's this?" "It all came this morning." "With no card?" "This one here has a card... the pink one." "Almost!" "Come on!" "Yeah!" "Pass it, guys!" "Nice goal!" "Phone!" "I'll call back." "Take a message." "No, come here!" "It's important!" "Tell Luis Carlos I'll call him back." "I did it!" "Honey!" "Come here!" "It's important." "It's not Luis Carlos." "It's the president." "The president?" "Yes!" "Come on!" "I'll be back." "Kids!" "Mr. President, what a surprise!" "How are you?" "Yes, I hear you." "What is it?" "Well, I'd be very honored, but I'd like to know if you informed Luis Carlos Galan." "As you'd understand, after this situation" "New Liberalism is now a part of the government." "If you consider this to be the way in which I can serve the country, then my answer is yes." "It'd be an honor." "What happened?" "Couldn't you find a place with fewer people?" "I like this one better." "Do you like it?" "Do I?" "Yes." "What would you like to drink?" "A martini." "Bring her the whole bottle and bring me half a glass of beer." "Are you trying to get me drunk?" "I want you to be calm and feel comfortable with me." "You look very pretty." "Let's be clear." "We'll get along much better then." "What am I doing here?" "What do you think?" "I asked you first." "Regina, you're here tonight because I have a proposal for you..." "Watch what you say if you don't want me to get up and go." "Not even the wealthiest people in this country have gotten what you want, so be careful." "So all the rich men in this country want the same thing?" "You must feel very privileged and fortunate, because what I want..." "Thank you." "...is simply an interview." "An interview." "I am the second most important man in the world after the Pope." "You know that." "Most reporters in this country would you like to interview me." "I've decided to let you be the one to interview me, and you're going to get up and go?" "That's not a very smart thing to do, don't you think?" "I'm such a fool." "I thought we were talking about something else." "Well then, get your mind out of the gutter." "What else could we be talking about?" "You want me to quit journalism and open a flower shop with the 18,000 flowers you sent me?" "I sent you that many?" "I just wanted us to get to know each other before we do the interview." "It's a way to socialize and make things a bit easier for the reporter and the interviewee." "You guys do that in journalism, am I wrong?" "Here's a question." "In an American magazine you appear as one of the wealthiest men in the world, is that true?" "That's a very good question, Regina." "You like it?" "Yes." "But there are better questions and better answers." "Look, Regina." "I want the world to get a chance to know who I am through you... to know my story, where I come from, what are my dreams, my expectations in life, my fears... you understand?" "I'm listening." "What does that mean?" "That you're interested in my proposal or that you're not?" "Luis Carlos, did you hear about Rodrigo?" "Such great news!" "No, what happened?" "What, you two haven't spoken?" "No, we've had so much work we haven't been able to." "I mean, about..." "I thought you two had agreed on this but you just hadn't told me." "What are you talking about?" "Wake up." "Read this." "If you thought a congressman has power, then get ready for the power a minister has." "Wow!" "This is the biggest thing ever built!" "Congratulations, Fabito." "This is wonderful." "It looks good, doesn't it?" "Very." "Guys, say hello to a new employee!" "He's the boss, right?" "It looks good?" "Very good." "I challenge those cops to find us here." "From above, all you see is green!" "Good." "No one will see us here." "We'll be able to work in peace." "Well, it does seem very calm, Fabio." "Plus, fun for a lot of people." "Good afternoon, boss." "Thanks." "Cheers." ""Tranquilandia", bro." "We'll call it Tranquilandia." "Why are you still reading that magazine?" "They're just like El Espectador." "Always attacking me as if there weren't other people around." "Reagan's there, the Pope's there... leave me alone!" "Pablo, they're not attacking you." "They're basically saying you're a millionaire millionaire that gives money to the poor." "Yeah, read the front cover now." "What does that say?" ""The Creole Robin Hood."" "That's disrespectful." "I'm no Robin Hood." "Everyone knows Robin Hood was a thief who'd rob..." "You're wrong." "It's a compliment." "The message is that you're newly rich and made money without anyone knowing exactly how." "Why do they want to know?" "It's something that's personal." "That's something very intimate." "Besides, I was doing my business." "You'll have to talk about that eventually." "The important thing isn't the question, it's the answer." "If I ask you, "Mr. Pablo Escobar, where does your money come from?"" "What would you say?" "My money comes from my business." "No, you have to give it some fluff." "Say, "I'm a businessman that generates employment." "I'm the engine of a region that's under development."" "Boss!" "They need you." "Who?" "Mrs. Pati." "Patico's calling?" "Let me get that." "Go on." "Hello?" "I almost couldn't get a hold of you." "How are you?" "Patico, I'm so glad you called." "How's everything?" "How's my son?" "Wonderful!" "Your mom also." "She's with us most of the time." "Are you busy?" "Yes, I'm in a meeting with some politicians." "But don't worry." "Whenever I get a chance," "I'll go to Medellin." "If you want, I can pick you and Emilio up so the three of us can come to the pool." "How's that?" "That sounds wonderful!" "Honey, I miss you a lot." "You didn't tell me this job would keep you away for so long!" "That's how politics work." "It's a very complicated world." "A difficult world." "I'll send these men out in a bit and I'll call you tonight." "Hold on." "I haven't told you why I'm calling." "They're waiting for me and I don't want to keep them waiting." "I'll call you in a bit." "Well... you're going to be a dad again." "What?" "Really?" "You're serious?" "You're pregnant again?" "Will you give me a little princess this time?" "Say that you will!" "I'd like to take advantage of this opportunity to speak about a topic that's being commented in private, but it's rarely mentioned in public." "It's about dirty money." "I want to call on the soccer teams and their coaches so they refuse to accept any dirty money." "I understand it's particularly hard for a soccer club to refuse millions of dollars considering their finances." "However what I want you to remember..." "Alright." "Let's go." "Let me listen." "...another link on the money laundering chain these crooks have." "This minister's messing with the soccer team now, man." "I can't give you names right now, sir." "I think investigating and finding these people is part of a investigative reporter's duty." "Mr. Guille?" "I'm here!" "I think it's very clear." "I can give you those names in private if you'd like." "But I'm sure I don't have to say them for the country to know who we're talking about." "Are you listening to the radio?" "Turn on the radio." "Tune into Caracol." "Could you turn the TV off?" "We have to do a great criminal reform in this country." "There's no way these crooks can go all over Colombia as if it were their own house without anyone doing anything to them." "They even get the chance to get into Congress." "This can't go on." "It sounds like Mr. Lara went all out." "Yes, that was harsh." "That's how he should be." "Blunt, firm." "There you have it." "Your friend, the Minister of Justice, threw you under the bus in public." "Who said he's my friend?" "You're going to let him accuse you in public like that?" "No one's said your name, but everyone knows he's talking about you." "I know that." "You don't have to explain anything." "I'll just tell you one thing." "Lara and Galan are part of the government and ministry not only for a check." "They're doing it because they want to work on their campaign at your expense." "It's up to you if you want to let their power grow." "You've just realized the power a minister of justice has." "You've got an ace up your sleeve." "It's time to use it." "Pablo, remember what we talked about?" "Character assassination." "It's up to you." "What happened?" "I'll only take 30 minutes." "I'll be waiting here, sir." "Here." "That's a book about education." "It's not a novel, but it's interesting." "You'll then understand why I'm always talking about education." "Very good." "Congratulations on your statement." "After you." "Well... we had to start off on the right foot." "Reporting the presence of drug trafficking in politics and soccer is unmistakable." "Go ahead." "Thank you." "I agree with you." "I do think you've stirred things up." "You know that anything referring to soccer gets people's attention in this country." "I love that you did this, especially now." "Then, people will realize we don't have one campaign speech and a different one after you become Minister of Justice." "These reporters insist on getting names... the names they know but won't say." "There's a difference between knowing them and hearing the minister of justice saying them." "Pablo Escobar Gaviria, Marcos Herber, the Mariachi... they're the biggest bandits in the country and everyone knows it." "Rodrigo... you have to gather evidence." "If the information is so convincing, then it's impossible for you to not find anything." "You know what El Espectador has been of great help throughout this whole process as well as the chief of the anti-narcotics police." "I know everything thanks to him." "Very good." "The social pressure you're exercising helps people stay away from them." "Luis Carlos, we still have a conversation pending." "Sir..." "When you said you had found something" "I thought you had actually found something." "These newspapers say a lot." "This is all the information from the Administrative Department of Justice." "From years ago!" "We'd use these as sources for judicial matters." "Nicky, this is gold." "Can you tell me what you're seeing that I'm not?" "We know that Pablo Escobar is being accused of drug trafficking." "He extorted two agents." "Somewhere in here there must be a report." "Sir, but... we'd have to read these page by page." "We have to?" "Mr. Pablo Escobar Gaviria is being given Civismo en Marcha together with the main authorities." "I want to say hello to all the athletes." "I rode in buses for 28 years." "Many times I had to work hard but gladly." "I know what it's like." "Therefore, I am with you." "Today, I'm here, on this side, because my financial circumstances have changed." "I want all of us to do everything we can to keep our youth from falling into the terrible epidemic of drug addiction." "Thank you very much!" "Honey, they love you!" "Thank you for bringing me." "Look, Regina's here!" "That's Regina?" "From TV?" "Yeah, that was the surprise I had for you!" "Here, I'll go say hello to her." "Hold on." "When the president called me to offer me the ministry position, he wanted an answer right away." "I wanted to talk to you..." "Rodrigo, calm down." "I know that was the president's idea." "The fact that he appointed you as Minister of Justice can only mean two things." "First, we're finally being considered as a strong political movement." "That's true." "Second, he knows you and your trajectory make you the right person to give the people what they're asking for." "No more impunity!" "A fight against crime!" "Rodrigo, you've done very important things." "You've gone against some aggressive bulls." "Remember... the Security Statute, the debate on the nationalization of banks, the investigation concerning dirty money in politics..." "Who took all those discussion up to Congress?" "You did." "Sometimes you think people don't notice, but you're right." "You started off great." "You reported the infiltration of drug money in politics and sports." "We're not going to let these traffickers be a part of the Colombian political class." "We can act now!" "You're Minister of Justice." "Regina..." "You look beautiful." "How was the speech?" "Very good." "Everyone was very excited." "Yeah?" "Yeah, baby." "Honey, can we go now?" "Regina Parejo." "Patricia Escobar, Pablo's wife." "A pleasure meeting you." "Likewise." "Well, I'll get started." "Sure." "Everyone's very excited." "Yes." "I want to interview you afterwards." "Great." "It was a pleasure." "Thanks for coming." "Honey, why don't you go home?" "I've got a meeting with the guys at the ranch." "Hold on." "What do you mean?" "You're going to the ranch now?" "At what time are you getting home?" "I'm taking my plane." "What plane?" "My plane." "The one I brought Ms. Regina in." "I've got it there." "You let her ride one of our planes?" "Yes, of course." "That was one of her demands in order to come here." "How could I bring her from Bogota on a bus?" "What about an airline?" "Yes, but..." "You're too friendly with her." "Friendly?" "What kind of hug was that?" "I have to be nice even if I don't want to be." "You think I like her?" "She's so snobby." "I don't like her either." "Exactly." "She's too complicated." "She's so complicated I even had to send a plane for her." "These are campaign strategies." "She's a very important news anchor in Bogota." "You get it?" "A lot of people admire her, so she's good for us." "You know what?" "This isn't what I want." "The Denunciation of the Minister" "I miss you very much..." "And I miss you a lot too, Freckles..." "Darling, aren't you afraid to be in Medellin  with all those people you're accusing around?" "Afraid?" "Why?" "Maybe I'm paranoid... don't pay attention to me..." "Listen Freckles..." "I'm having all the protection I need..." "I'm going to be okay." "Tell me, How are the boys?" "Is Rodrigo doing his homework?" "...Hello..." "Did one of the kids pick a phone up?" "No, they are asleep but a strange sound is heard, isn't?" "Maybe a shortcircuit..." "I don't know." "All right, Freckles, I love you very much." "See you tomorrow!" "A kiss." "I must leave you know, okay?" "All right...a big hug...bye!" "While you check the performance, listen to this." "Hippopotamus..." "It's a cetacean." "I don't know what that is." "It lives in the rivers and lakes of Africa, hence its name, which in Greek means river horse." "You heard?" "River horse." "Pablo, Tranquilandia is amazing." "It's a real gold mine." "Yes, Gonzalo's even proposed we should expand to Brazil." "Then, we'd get a chance to grow even more." "He spoke to some architects and these are the blueprints they drew up so we can start to build the new labs." "Say the word and I'll send the money to buy everything." "Zebra, African mammal..." "What's up, sluts?" "Are you passing out money without me?" "What's up, Herber?" "You're great at asking for it." "What's new, Herber?" "What are you complaining about?" "You've got the most money here." "Yeah, right!" "I'm running out of money just trying to get rid of the guerrillas, but since you won't help..." "Why do you keep messing with that?" "I told you I've got nothing against them." "That's not my fight." "Pablo, help us out with that, even if it's just for our friendship's sake." "Getting rid of them is also to your advantage." "Look, for our friendship's sake, I'll give you some advice." "Let that go." "You know what not for all the money in the world, bro." "We're gonna get rid of those dogs for good!" "Let's change the subject." "Check out this beauty." "Tranquilandia?" "This is priceless!" "Wow!" "Unlimited capacity." "I've got a surprise for you two." "We've got a very special guest here today, and I want you to meet her." "What?" "Let's go see her." "Who's this about?" "She's just a friend." "You even look like you're in love!" "Who knows the tramp he'll bust out with!" "I'm very sorry but this game is mine." "Check that out!" "He's cheating!" "Gentlemen!" "I'm sorry to interrupt but I want to introduce you to Ms. Regina Parejo." "A pleasure." "Ramada, Adellano..." "You already met Gonzalo." "How are you?" "My great friend Mr. Pedro Motoa." "Nice to meet you." "He's Peluche, your brother-in-law." "A pleasure." "It's great to be here and meet you." "Nothing's better for a good man than to be around good friends." "That's very good." "We can go right this way, Regina." "Gonzalo, let us sit down to play with you." "What are you passing out here?" "Here." "When did the television cameras arrive?" "Nice to meet you." "A pleasure!" "And El Mariachi." "How are you?" "They're my two most important partners." "The only one left is my wife's brother, but we'll meet him some other day." "Let's sit down." "Alright." "You're dumbfounded?" "I'm playing too!" "I think it's great for the accusations you're making to become debates." "I agree, sir." "Drug trafficking isn't the only topic" "New Liberalism touches on." "Though I think it's great that we finally got the country talking about that." "During our campaign we looked like two nutcases talking about a topic no one wanted to talk about... except for Don Guillermo." "The problem here is the one calling for a debate is that Javier Ortiz" "He was kicked out of the New Liberalism Party." "As well as Alfonso Santorini." "From whom, as you know, I keep a certain distance." "Well, there's something fishy going on here." "You know that when it comes to politics, people's interests are always involved." "We have to find out what their interests are." "Without a doubt." "I'm convinced their interests are opposite to ours." "What we've done so far is talk about drug money in soccer and politics." "That's what we've been repeating." "I don't see how they can attack me with that, if that's what they want to do." "Mr. Guillermo, what do you think?" "I agree with you, Senator." "You can't expect anything good from a movement managed by Mr. Santorini especially after he's endorsed Escobar." "I don't think this is a friendly invitation." "On the contrary." "I think this is an open declaration of war." "Look who we've got here!" "None other than the distinguished congressman" "Pablo Escobar Gaviria." "Come here!" "What a show-off!" "What's up, man?" "Gonzalo." "Wait till he tells you." "Why don't you let him settle down?" "What is it?" "One second!" "What happened?" "Nothing." "Well... remember the zebras you requested for the zoo?" "Of course." "What about them?" "Pablo, it's just that the police seized them." "What?" "My zebras?" "Yeah, the zebras, bro." "Where are they?" "We don't know yet." "We waited for you to come to see what to do." "The guys are trying to find out, but..." "Let's find a solution to this." "Let him settle down!" "So wait till tomorrow?" "C'mon!" "the painting we needed is here already..." "You're not painting those donkey right, bro." "No, no, What's that?" "Pay attention!" "Are you sleeping?" "Check this out." "Donkey don't move that I'm going to make famous." "We're going to do international!" "To the eyes and ears of someone who doesn't know better the minister's accusations against the drug trafficking mafia and their power to infiltrate sports and politics are, without a doubt, a reason to be alarmed." "However, what the minister failed to say before the cameras..." "Alright." "Time to go." "Did you talk to your friends the senators?" "No one's going to want to miss that debate." "It's going to be packed." "Perfect." "Who would've thought?" "Escobar looks like such a dumb millionaire, but he's really going to get the minister." "Incredible." "That bastard's pretty smart." "Rich and smart." "What a dangerous combination." "Luckily, he's on our side." "Let's go." "You've got everything?" "Yes, everything is complete." "Are you nervous?" "No, I'm just anxious... worried." "We both knew there was something behind this." "That's what I'm worried about." "I've got nothing to hide." "I know they don't have anything against me." "What are they plotting?" "Remember the conversation we had when we decided to fire Ortiz and Escobar?" "No one, no one at all can question our actions." "We've made conscientious decisions." "We've done nothing, so we have nothing to fear." "You're right." "Besides, everything you've done has been legitimate and within the confines of the law." "Everything will be okay." "Remember... if you need anything, I'll be there." "Yes." "Yes." "That's what I'm saying." "I'm sure that if we put our heart into this it will turn out very well for us." "No, thank you." "Goodbye, sir." "That guy's a pig." "He is." "He's using you." "Don't say that to me." "I'm very sorry, but the man you're calling a pig is my link to the political class, to the armed forces, to the security organizations..." "He's completely indispensable right now." "If you say that, you'll make me choose." "Don't make me choose." "Don't complicate my life." "He doesn't respect anyone." "You can't trust him." "Have you seen the way he looks at me?" "How?" "Like he wants me." "But he won't do it in front of you." "He wouldn't dare." "Of course not." "He's a hypocrite." "What do you want me to do?" "You have to learn to defend yourself." "I can't defend you." "I have to defend my wife, but you're old enough to make people respect you." "Right, Chili?" "Yes, sir." "That's the problem with divas..." "We're talking to Chili now?" "I asked him." "The three of us." "Do people look at divas?" "The whole country does." "That's right." "Tell him to stop the car." "Stop the car?" "Right, Chili?" "Stop the car." "Want me to jump out?" "Chili, stop." "She wants to jump out." "I can't believe this." "Chili, please get out." "We'll talk here." "You think I should put up with your humiliation?" "Tell me." "What humiliation?" "I was kidding." "Tell me!" "I could be with the wealthiest, most handsome men and I wouldn't have to put up with you." "Let me tell you something." "The day I decide to leave you it won't be to go after the pig you work for." "It will be for someone better than him and better than you." "Watch how you treat me, Pablo." "Watch what you're saying." "Don't go swimming in treacherous waters because I may not be there next time to take you out." "Are you threatening me?" "The next time you want me to come see you or help you, be kind enough to not bring your wife." "You're laughing now?" "Yes." "You're just jealous." "Oh, please." "You are." "I have no reason to be jealous." "You're jealous..." "I'm not!" "You know what's going on?" "You're mixing business with pleasure." "Why?" "This conversation is over." "Chili, we're leaving!" "Don't be jealous, baby." "What's up, donkey?" "You like these artists?" "Alright, guys." "Hurry it up." "We're almost there." "This truck is the last one, right?" "Go on!" "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats." "The debate will begin with Minister of Justice Rodrigo Lara Bonilla." "He's been called here by Congressman Javier Ortiz, who'll start off the debate, as well as by Senator Alonso Santorini." "Congressman, you have the floor." "Thank you, Mr. President." "For the past few days every Colombian has had the chance to listen to Minister of Justice Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, talking to the media about so-called dirty money." "We all know that money comes from drug trafficking into soccer and politics." "How brave of you, Minister." "Very brave." "But how cynical is he?" "I understand the adjective I've chosen to describe a minister may sound a bit harsh to you, but I honestly can't think of another word." "I say "cynical"" "because I don't understand how he'd dare talk about dirty money when he used that same money for his campaign when he was running for senator!" "I'm sure you know that in order to make such accusations you need evidence." "Don't worry." "You know what?" "You should worry." "We're not going around like you, making all sorts of accusations without stating names... without providing facts." "You want proof?" "It's only fair, sir."
