[gun clicking]
Don, you ready?
[Juan] Every tragedy was followed by a bigger one.
Every death was followed by more death.
-Hey, have fun. -[Juan] My family was falling apart,
like so many other families that had been torn apart by my father's decisions.
-We no longer saw him. -Be safe, mi amor.
-And we were his enemies' favorite targets.
-It's gonna be all right. -Mm, you're too trusting, Juan Pablo.
-There's no need for you to worry. -[exhales]
Be sure to keep your eyes open.
[Tina] Don't worry, ma'am.
Our patroncito knows how to take care of himself, right?
[Juan Pablo chuckles]
[Juan] Hiding, escaping, constantly moving.
But protected by my nannies, we managed to survive.
Take care.
[El Dorado] Aw! Look how serious Juan Pablo looks right now.
[laughs]
[car engine turning over] [El Dorado] Oh!
-[Juan] Stop. -[El Dorado] Son of a bitch hits hard!
[car engine turns over]
[engine revving]
[insects chirping]
[birds tweeting]
[Tina] Juampi.
[Tina] Time to wake up, big boy.
[groaning]
[Juan] Where are we?
What's going on?
[vehicle approaching]
[emergency brake creaks]
-Pa! -[Pablo] My boy!
[Juan] Ah, so good to see you!
Oh, yeah!
[car door closes]
[Pablo] Yeah, it looks like you haven't missed a meal, huh?
You seem a bit bigger, too.
[laughs]
[El Dorado] Oh, fuck! Those sons of bitches!
[Pablo] Get down! Get down!
[gunfire]
[Tina] Come on!
[Police Assassin A] Take cover!
[Man shouting]
[El Dorado] Get in!
-[groans] -Take off, Jerry! Let's go!
[El Dorado] We're moving! We're moving! Go, go!
[Police Assassin D] He's getting away. Don't let them get away!
[all shouting]
-[Tina shouts] -Tina!
[rapid gunfire]
[all shouting]
[El Dorado] Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come on, get in!
We need to go now!
Drive! Go now! Go!
[engine revving]
[♪ tense music]
7. THE LAST LESSON
[Lagaña] Tina's gonna bleed out! Go!
-[El Dorado] I know, I know! -[Lagaña] Dorado! Go, go, go!
[El Dorado] Set Tina here! Okay, okay!
Hold on, man! What are we supposed to do?
[Lagaña] Son of a bitch! Dammit!
Everyone is onto us.
If we bring him to the hospital, they'll get us right away.
-Hold on. Hold on, okay? -[El Dorado] Shit!
One, two!
[Angie grunting] [Tina groaning]
[El Dorado] Those dirty motherfuckers shouldn't have known we were supposed
to meet with Pablo! Rodri's in jail!
That little bitch must have opened his mouth!
Rodri's been the snitch all along!
[Angie] If Rodri had snitched, we'd all be in jail already.
[Lagaña] That's enough, man!
We can't just leave him here!
[Lagaña] He needs help right now! We need to take him to somebody!
Tina, you have a family, man.
[Lagaña] You can't leave them. Don't you dare die, man!
-[Lagaña] They need you! -Those fucking bastards!
[Lagaña] No, man!
You son of a bitch, hang in there!
El Dorado, do something now!
-[Tina] I'm gonna die, man. -[Angie] It's okay.
-I'm scared, Dorado. -[El Dorado] No, kid.
Don't be scared. You aren't gonna die here, papi.
[El Dorado] You're not dying today.
-[Tina groaning] -Come with me. Let's go.
-Breathe. Breathe. Just breathe, okay? -I don't wanna die.
[Angie] Breathe.
[Angie] One, two... [groans]
[screams]
[door closes]
[phones ringing]
[Investigator] Do you know Escobar, yes or no?
[Rodrigo] I don't know him personally.
And I have nothing to do with that man.
But it wouldn't be so bad, right?
They say he treats the people he works with really well.
You say you have nothing to do with him,
but then you jump to defend Juan Pablo Escobar Henao?
I figured I would be a decent guy.
[Rodrigo] I saw some bastard was abusing the kid.
I didn't know who his father was. I just defended him.
Wouldn't you have done the same, officer?
See, I grew up in a neighborhood named Pablo Escobar.
[Rodrigo] Is that a crime?
Pablo Escobar is a known killer.
I'm not so sure of that.
You know what I am sure of, though?
He's given lots of people lots of opportunities.
And if those people are grateful to the guy,
there must be a reason for it.
For making us fight a war that never stops?
[Investigator] For every police officer, a price.
Does that seem okay to you?
And what about how the government does nothing for us?
Clubs, hospitals, and schools have to be paid for with blood when
the government doesn't give us anything.
Because when you're starving...
Violence is the only option.
[sipping]
[Angie] Okay, okay, okay.
Now what? What do you need?
My daught...
[pained inhaling]
[Tina] My daughter]
[Angie] Honey, listen to me.
You have a big, big reason to keep holding on, okay?
-I don't wanna die. -[Angie] Nuh-uh!
You won't. I'm not gonna let you.
[pained breathing]
Who the fuck is this?
[breathing erratically]
[El Dorado] I brought this asshole here
so he can take out the bullet and stop the bleeding.
[Doctor] Wait a minute. I can't do that here.
I need a sanitized room, my medical equipment, anesthesia.
What do you not understand about this, you motherfucker?
If my friend survives...
[gasps]
...You survive.
[breathing erratically]
[Juan] My father reduced his circle to a minimum.
Trust and loyalty gave way to the loneliness of the hiding spots
-where he lived for a long time. -What'd he say?
[indistinct talking over TV]
He said, "When I grow up, I wanna be like Mr. Pablo Escobar."
Why the hell did I spend so much on an English teacher, huh?
Just so you could stay stupid?
Wait, let me show you something.
Oh, come on! We're supposed to be watching a movie here!
[Juan] He moved around in precarious conditions,
staying in hideouts to avoid being found.
-What's it say right here? -[groans]
Hey, let me have that.
I'm gonna need it later.
[Juan] We lived together for a few days in one of those hideouts.
-Pa? -[Pablo] Hmm?
Do you think that Tina, Rodri, and El Dorado are all right?
[Pablo] Yeah, yeah.
They can take care of themselves.
It's okay. You don't have to worry about them, kiddo.
[♪ lively Norteño music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Policeman A] We'll wait right here.
[emergency brake creaking]
[Policeman B] Affirmative.
[♪ suspenseful music]
[indistinct talking from distant TV]
[laughing]
[kisses]
Mijo.
It's like a miracle, mi amor. What are you doing here?
Hijo, how's your work?
Well, Juampi just went on a trip.
So they gave me a little vacation.
[door closes]
[both chuckling]
Look who's come to visit!
What's up, Rodrigo?
[Rodrigo] You've grown up quite a bit, huh?
[Brother] Things have really changed in the neighborhood.
[chuckles]
[Mrs. Aurora laughs]
Hey, papito.
Good to see you, little brother.
I promise you we'll find that motherfucking snitch, patron.
[Jerry] Rodrigo has already been released.
They're using him as bait or he negotiated with them.
[Jerry] We're gonna test him.
If he really is the rat, we'll expose his dumb ass.
I want you to survive this.
Then you can hate me all you want.
[Angie] But you need to know one thing.
You and the rest of those bastards...
You're my family.
So do me a favor. Do not die.
[Angie sniffles]
[El Dorado] If the thief who steals from a thief is forgiven for 100 years...
Then how about a killer who murders a killer?
How do things work with God, Father? Can you tell me what he thinks?
I know I've messed up a couple of times in my life.
Well, maybe more than a couple times, you know?
[Lagaña] But that's what they pay me for, right?
Like, how am I gonna apologize to these people while I'm torturing them?
It doesn't work that way. And that's the struggle.
[Lagaña] Besides, that has to be what God wanted for me.
If not, he put me in the wrong line of work.
[El Dorado] Father,
I know I've been difficult in this life.
I don't give a damn about anything. I mean,
nothing keeps me up at night.
And there's plenty of people out there who want me dead.
[El Dorado] But not my friend.
No, no. That man has a pure heart.
[muffled screaming]
[El Dorado] Father, I know that God doesn't think so well of me.
But that's why you're here. You can intercede for me, can't you?
You're a saint which means he might listen to you.
[Lagaña] If you can hear me down here, cast down your judgment on that traitor.
Let every misfortune fall upon that motherfucking snitch.
And please, Father,
let lightning strike him into 1,000 pieces before I find him.
You understand?
[El Dorado] I'll give God another church twice
the size of this one.
For God, I mean it. I'll do it.
But He has to give me what I'm asking for.
I thank you for sending this to your Lord.
And let your nephew know we're thinking of him.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
'Kay, I handed over the note, kid.
Don't forget.
[birds chirping]
[distant dogs barking]
-Hey, Uncle. -[Rodrigo's Uncle] Rodri.
If you come to me for help, I won't deny you.
[Rodrigo's Uncle] But please, Rodri, I beg you.
Don't make me an accomplice to anything illegal.
These two men showed up at the church.
They were very unpleasant, and they seemed to be quite agitated.
[Rodrigo's Uncle] They left this note for you.
Don't get yourself into any trouble.
[♪ tense music]
[Rodrigo's Brother] Oh, come on, man.
All those years scheming with your patron?
[Rodrigo's Brother] Making money, and good money.
[chuckles]
And you still never managed to figure out how to read.
-The handwriting's really weird. -Okay, I'll read it, then.
This says, "See you soon with the boy when it's secure."
"Villa Maria hideout."
He's at Villa Maria?
Hey, what's wrong?
Nothing, bro. Everything's fine.
[♪ lively, percussive music]
[motorcycle engine revving]
[police scanner hisses and beeps]
[door opens]
[door closes]
He's not waking up, guys.
[El Dorado] How long until he wakes up?
Look, I was able to get the bullet out.
He's lost a lot of blood.
He needs medication, man. Antibiotics, transfusions.
He needs to go to a hospital.
[Lagaña grunts]
[Lagaña] You better listen to me carefully, you fucking imbecile.
In war zones, there's no hospitals, right?
And yet doctors there can still save people.
[Lagaña] So I don't give a damn about your fucking excuses.
[Juan] A, a, "Abandon."
[Juan] Hmm.
[exhales sharply]
[scoffs]
Abandonar. Easy. Another.
[♪ lively music playing over speakers]
How about, here's one more. What's "absence's" meaning?
Absence.
Absceso.
-[Pablo] No? -Aucensia.
[Pablo] Oh, well, I was close. Another one.
Crack.
[Pablo] Ace, huh.
Maradona.
What?
The ace is Maradona the Argentine.
That country's a factory for talent. Amazing soccer players.
And Bilardo.
Oh, terrific, terrific coach.
He got Cali into the finals about ten years ago.
[Pablo] And the national team.
And got us Gareca, too.
All those sons of bitches had more talent than you and I could ever hope for.
Believe you me.
And son, when this is all over,
me and you, we'll be living it up for a while in Buenos Aires, huh?
[Pablo] Just us. No women or bodyguards.
Like normal people. Deal?
Deal.
[both laughing]
[kisses] [door creaks open]
[door creaks closed] [shushes]
[Pablo] Why the hell would you come in like that?
I almost shot ya!
I'm sorry, patron.
But we can't trust those damn satellite phones.
Unfortunately, they're just too much of a risk right now.
Have you heard anything about Tina?
[Jerry] He's doing just fine.
Now, here. I brought you something to eat.
Hey, hey, greedy, hold on. What do you have to say?
Thanks, Jerry.
Yeah.
Everything's going as planned, patron.
The fucker already got in contact with a second group,
and also got away from the police.
And when's he coming for my son?
[Jerry] Tomorrow.
[Pablo] Okay.
Mmm, looks fuckin' great.
There's sardines.
-All right, here you go. -And tuna.
[Reporter] Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela have signed the free trade agreement.
The first cell phone company is now available in the country.
New cell phones promise a different way to communicate.
And in sports,
Argentina loses to Romania three to two in the World Cup knockouts
after Maradona's expulsion.
The country protests the injustice.
[static hissing]
[Victoria] That still isn't far enough, mi amor.
They can still find us there.
[Juan] Mom, I think it can be arranged.
Gracias, amor. Listen.
We can get the plane tickets with the new passports, right?
[Juan] Nobody has to know.
Plus, I checked, and they don't require visas.
[Andrea] Yeah, my abuela was there years ago.
She always told me the capital's very beautiful
and very safe as well.
Like Europe but in Latin America.
I just think that we should pick a place further away,
like on another continent.
Ma.
Right now this seems like the best choice for us.
And besides, the economy is stable.
And the government's not a dictatorship.
And frankly, we're all out of options.
[Juan Pablo's Sister] Well, it doesn't hurt to try, right?
So then, Argentina?
Argentina.
[church bell ringing]
[♪ woman singing in Spanish]
I didn't think you'd show up.
[both breathing heavily]
[pants unzip]
[moaning]
[Angie moaning]
[Angie] You know what Tina's like?
That guy's strong as fuck.
But he's taking a turn for the worse.
I told you before, Rodri.
We should have gotten out a long time ago.
No, Angie.
We're meant to be right where we are.
We're doing it for our families.
And to repay the patron for all he's given us.
I'm about to give you a tough pill to swallow.
There comes a time in this life when you gotta stop thinkin' about the team
and start thinking about yourself.
I know, Angie.
I already know you're afraid.
The whole thing with Tina.
It's gotten into your head.
But we've made it through shit before, you know?
And we'll make it through this, too.
That I can promise you.
Look at me.
Do you trust me?
Yes.
Do you trust me?
Always.
Now that I know for sure they're not following me,
I'll go and get Juampi.
We're supposed to meet at Villa Maria.
[tongue clicks]
[Rodrigo] But now I'm really worried
because he's different whenever he's with his dad.
That's dangerous.
[♪ music thumps]
[toilet flushes]
[belt buckling] Ooh.
[groans]
[grunts]
[Pablo] No, this shit's expired.
[door lock rattling]
[door bangs] [sirens blaring]
[glass shattering]
[door creaks]
[breathing heavily]
Calm down, it's me.
[Juan] You scared me, man.
I thought someone was out there.
Where's your father?
[toilet flushes]
[Jerry] Holy shit.
[Official] House is empty, sir. They tricked us.
[Police Officer] Let's go.
This goddamn thing's all clogged up, goddamn it.
-Hijueputa. -[Jerry] Son of a bitch.
You feeling okay?
[Pablo] Ooh!
[Lagaña] You're a doctor! Don't fucking let him die!
[Doctor] He's not breathing anymore!
[Doctor] I'm sorry, he's gone! I told you, he's not breathing!
I'll tell you, you son of a bitch!
Fucking shitty piece of fucking...
[Lagaña] You're not a fucking doctor!
[Doctor] There's nothing I could do!
I already told you! He's gone!
-Bring him back to live! -He's beyond saving, asshole!
-Damn you, son of a bitch! -[Doctor] Please, please!
-Motherfucker! -[Doctor] It's not my...
[Lagaña] You motherfucker!
[sobbing]
He let him die! Dammit!
Oh, Tina, my little brother.
[sobbing]
[Lagaña] Tina.
[Lagaña sniffles] Fuck.
[Lagaña] Dammit! Goddamn, my brother.
Why, why, why?
[Lagaña and Angie crying]
[car engine rumbling]
[crickets chirping]
[brakes squeaking]
[car engine turns off]
[river water lapping]

[body splashes in water]
[motorcycle engine revving]
[Rodrigo] I used to play here when I was a kid.
Once my friend threw a ball in the river.
I went to look for it.
But I found an arm instead.
We never played here again.
This place was full of dead bodies.
We never knew how they got here or who dumped them.
And now I know.
What the hell is up with you?
The message they gave me to go get Juampi was fake.
[motorcycle engine rumbling]
[Rodrigo] You know what Pablo wanted?
To find out if I was the snitch and if I was gonna rat him out.
Now he has plenty of reasons to think it's me.
[police sirens blaring]
Pablo wasn't at the hideout?
[Rodrigo] There were only three other people who knew what the note said.
[Rodrigo] El Dorado and Lagaña who sent me the message.
And one more.
Now that I know for sure they're not following me,
I'll go and meet Juampi at Villa Maria.
[Rodrigo] It was you.
But you knew.
I've wanted to escape this life for a long time now,
and you knew it.
I almost got caught in that raid. Do you realize that?
[Rodrigo] And if that had happened,
they would have put me in a gringo prison for the rest of my life.
What else could I do, huh?
I was negotiating for both of us.
Bitch, you betrayed me and sent the cops there!
So now what? I become one of those bodies down there? Or what?
[Rodrigo] All this time I felt so guilty.
And then you turn out to be just like her.
Like who?
Like Franca.
Rodri, please. I had no choice.
[Rodrigo] She was the one who sold us out the day Kiss was killed.
[gunshots]
[Rodrigo] That's why you never saw her again.
[motorcycle engine revving]
[Rodrigo] Because I get treacherous bitches like you out of my life for good.
[gunshot]
[clicking]
Kill me, motherfucker.
[gunshot]
[heavy breathing]
You can rest in peace, Tina.
At least you finally got to escape this living hell.
[Lagaña] For my brother Tina.
I'm gonna rip your eyes out with my teeth, you son of a bitch.
You guys should know this building would have blown up a long time ago
if I were the snitch.
[necklace jingling]
Angie sold us out to some gringo.
[Lagaña grunts] That's bullshit]
[Rodrigo] She confessed it to me herself.
She'd been acting strange for a while.
Thought it was because of me but no.
She just wanted to get out.
That fucking bitch wanted to be free and start a whole new life.
-That's why she sold us out. -[Lagaña] Fuck you.
You're lying, motherfucker.
May I?
What the hell did you do to her?
I murdered her.
Pablo took care of my family when someone murdered my father.
He always helped us and made sure we had everything we needed.
Juampi...
Juampi's like my little brother.
And I'd rather shoot myself than betray my brother.
Shut up, you piece of shit.
Dammit.
You warned me long ago.
[Rodrigo] Falling in love screws up your life.
You end up no better than an idiot with your heart cut into a million pieces
and your head stuffed into a bag.
[Rodrigo sniffling]
Kill me, then, if you don't believe me.
But both of you know I've always been there for Juampi.
And if I'm gonna be killed for him, then so be it.
Do it now.
-Shoot now, you motherfucker! -[shouts]
[Lagaña] Fuck you!
You fucking bastard!
[video game beeping]
[Jerry] Patron.
[Jerry sighs]
I just received word that those bastards
at the DAS have already found our location again.
[Pablo] Fucking son of a bitch! [glass shatters]
[Pablo] I gotta get outta here. I gotta move again.
[groans] let me talk to him.
[Jerry] All right, señor.
Kiddo.
I'm sorry, but you gotta go back to the family.
So, in this hideout...
There's money hidden here and no one knows about it but you or me.
And listen. Don't tell anybody, not even your mother.
[Pablo] 'Cause that money's for your future.
What about your future?
[Pablo] Me?
I'm not surrendering.
I'd die before that.
[Pablo] But for now...
For now, let them keep looking for me.
I'm going with you.
[exhales]
Bueno. Together.
Until we make it to Buenos Aires and get to see Maradona.
[Pablo chuckles]
[crickets chirping]
[El Dorado] Patroncito.
[whistles]
Juan Pablo.
-[groans] -[El Dorado] Hey, papi.
We came to get you.
Come on. Let's get you home now.
Pa. [groans]
What about the others? Where's my dad?
Juampi, your father left already.
He thinks it's better this way.
For your own protection.
Come on now, buddy. Come on.
