I just want to see him happy again.

Well...

I have to get up at five tomorrow.

That's early.

Thank you.

That was a great glass of water.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

You know it's a... It's kind

of a long walk back in the dark.

You're a big boy. You can do it.

Maria! You almost had it!

No Nick. I don't want to do this, ok?

I hate surfing, really,

you are a bad teacher.

I'm not a bad teacher, come on!

You're so close!

You almost had it.

I have to go! ok?

Oh you're killing me.

You're killing me.

Will you come?

- I don't know.

- Please say yes.

- Maybe.

- Yes.

- Yes, maybe.

- Yes or maybe?

- Yes, maybe. That's it!

- Ok.

Off you go.

I kill you.

You're gonna kill me?

Yes. You have to be there.

Special greeting

for the young people of this town.

I'm thankful

to all the people

who have helped

renovating this clinic.

This hospital...

This hospital

is but one small step

towards the life you deserve.

I'm proud

of my humble origins.

My family never had great means.

And we experienced

the same problems most Colombian

families are faced with daily.

I promise you...

I promise you

that if I can do anything

I'll keep fighting for your rights.

Civismo en marcha

will provide you with a shield

that will protect you from all evil.

Thank you very much!

People from Turbo,

once more let's thank

Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

Come on!

Why didn't you come over?

Why didn't you come over?

Not in my shorts, you know...

Ok. You might be right.

He's kind of old style.

He really wants to meet you.

That's nice.

What is it?

I'm not ready for you to leave here.

Everything is going to be find for us.

I know.

This jacket... with these pants.

- If it fits big, I'll fix it.

- Thank you.

Can I help you, Sir?

No, you can't.

Gringo,

get out.

Come here.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Stop it! Please stop it,

it's going to kill him!

Stop it, it's going to kill him!

Stop it, it's going to kill him!

- It's beautiful, no?

- Very beautiful.

- Hi!

- What's up, bonita?

Juanita! Your dress is beautiful!

This is Nick.

Nice meeting you.

Maria's spoken so much about you.

I really want you to meet him.

So nice to see you!

- You're so elegant!

- How are you?

Now I need your attention.

This is my boyfriend Nick.

He's my uncle, the doctor Prieto.

His wife. And all my cousins.

See you later.

Aunt!

- Aunt!

- I was looking for you.

- This is Nick.

- Nice meeting you. You've had lunch?

- Yes. Where is Pablo?

- Over here, in the water.

Can we go say hi?

I'll ask him. I'll be right back.

- She's going to ask Pablo.

- Ok.

Pablo, go get dressed.

Maria wants to introduce

her boyfriend to you.

Come over, Maria love, come!

- Hi Maria!

- Hi prince, how are you?

OK.

- Did you have a good flight?

- Very good.

- Happy birthday, uncle Pablo!

- Thank you.

At last, Pablo, this is Nick.

- Hi. Welcome, Nick.

- Thank you.

- Does he speak Colombian?

- No. No, English.

Well,

Maria says very good things about you.

Thank you. Happy birthday, Mr Escobar!

Call me Pablo.

Maria, show him around the house

and introduce him to Grandma.

- Go, go see Grandma.

- We're going to now, Pablo.

We are so proud that Maria

opened up a clinic for the poor.

She's adorable.

My uncle has an obsession with gold.

That's an expensive obsession.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to you,

Hey to Pablo!

A Speech!

In the sky

fly the clouds

going toward the sea.

God, how I love you.

I cannot...

embrace...

so much happiness,

How did he make all his money?

Cocaine.

People here in Colombia

have been chewing coca leaves since

the beginning of time.

Pablo is just exporting

a national product.

Most of the money he makes

goes to the poor.

You go to any of the barrios

and ask the people there:

they love him.

Come on. Dance with me.

I'm sorry Nick, did I wake you?

It's ok.

Maria wanted us to talk.

She's been going:

"Tio Pablo. Nick this, Nick that."

"Nick, Nick, Nick..."

"Nick this, Nick that."

ls everything ok? ls your room ok?

Yeah. Yeah it's great. Thank you.

So Maria tells me that your brother

lives at the beach?

And what does he do there?

He has a small business,

they serve food and drinks,

and I give surfing lessons.

It's like a surf camp, sort of.

- Ah, it's nice.

- Yeah...

That's nice.

That's nice.

Nick? Do you believe in God?

Yes.

That's good.

Do you take drugs?

No. No I mean, it's not really for me.

That's good.

I've seen drugs eat the souls

of many great men.

Well, listen, Nick.

I just wanted to say that Maria

is like a daughter to me

and we're very happy

if she's found a good match.

Good.

That's good.

Are you serious about her?

Yeah, absolutely.

Do you love her?

- Yeah. More than anything.

- Good.

True love.

True love.

That's the best.

True love.

Good.

So what happened to your arm?

I got attacked by a dog.

That's a big dog.

What happened?

Just some locals... They wanted us

to pay to be on the beach

and we didn't give in.

- And that was their dog?

- Yeah.

Nick, did you like this song

I sang to my wife tonight?

Yeah, that was great.

I didn't understand all of it,

but it was beautiful.

- I'll get a translation.

- Perfect.

Maybe one day you'll sing it to Maria?

In front of all your friends.

Maybe.

We had a good talk.

Yeah.

Get some rest.

I'll see you in the morning.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Light, camera, action!

Kiss again.

Nick and Maria will soon be married

and they will give

many babies to their family.

Right, Nick?

Yep. Yep. Hopefully.

You'd better be fast

or we'll extradite you back to Canada.

Now a big round of applause

to the new member

of the Escobar Gaviria family.

Come on.

Did you tell Escobar

anything about the Roldano Brothers?

They were killed. Two days ago.

They were hung upside down

and burned alive.

Everyone in town is saying

that Escobar and his men did it.

It's not true, brother.

He would never do something like that.

He offered me a job at the Hacienda.

Wait, he did what?

I want you to be happy for me, ok?

Nick.

Nick, you've gotta listen to me

on this one...

Nick!

- Good morning, Carmen.

- Good morning, Nick.

- Daniela.

- Good morning, Nick.

Good morning.

Keep going. Keep going.

- Are you tired?

- Yes.

- Yes?

- Yes.

Nico, come!

- No, buddy. I can't.

- Look at his face.

He's dead, Luis.

There you go.

- Yeah.

- I don't want to.

It's your turn.

Okay.

Luis, get ready!

What are you doing? It's sunday.

That's ok,

I'm just grabbing the pony for Luis.

Nick,

there's no one there to help you!

It's ok, I can do it.

Watch out!

- Who's that?

- Nick. Maria's boyfriend.

Finish it off.

At last we meet, Nick.

It's a pleasure.

My name is Drago Gutierrez,

I work for el patron too.

I know Maria

since she was a little kid.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Look at me.

Bambi, get me the boss.

We have a problem.

You know who died in this car?

Clyde Barrow.

Who?

- Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker...
