- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Bonnie and Clyde.

Get in.

No fear, Nico, no fear.

Bonnie Parker died

right where you're sitting.

She had fifty bullet holes

in her body.

Someone close to them betrayed them

and they fell into a trap.

If I fall into a trap

like Bonnie and Clyde,

that's no good.

That's why I have to trust

everyone near me.

So, if you see anything strange

around here,

you come and tell me, ok?

Not a word to anyone.

Not even Maria.

Understand?

I understand.

Feind hiort mit.

The enemy's listening.

Hi.

You didn't sleep all night.

Everything's ok?

Let's go back to the beach.

Please. I miss that life, Maria.

Trust me, let's go back there.

I thought you loved it here.

It's just so different.

Go with me, please.

This is my family, Nick.

What is it, Nick?

You are not happy with me?

You want to leave me?

No.

Maria, I can't even imagine

a life without you.

Then what is it?

Everybody loves you here.

You're part of my family.

Nico.

Come and sit next to your fiance.

Please be careful with those frames,

put them here.

It's the biggest corruption scandal

in the history of Congress.

Senator Pablo Escobar has been found

to have a criminal record

as a drug dealer.

This operation

is having significant results

so we need to have the national

public and armed forces support it.

This will give you

an idea of the magnitude

of the narco trafficking problem

we have in this country.

First, the Minister of Justice

lied when he said that...

Pablo Escobar had a criminal record

in the United States.

- Hello, Nick.

- Hello.

Hello, Nico.

As you can see we're moving everyone

out of the Hacienda.

For a little while. You and Maria

will go to your brother's

until we find you a place in Medellin.

Drago will show you how to use

everything inside this bag.

What is this?

- It's for self defense, Dylan.

- Are you shitting me?

I don't want a gun in my house!

What is it?

Is it the money? ls it?

Is it really worth it

to become like them?

I'm not like them.

You're breaking my heart, man.

I don't want Anne

to know anything about this.

So, you make something up,

you pack your bags and you leave.

Don't make a scene.

Guys! Come to the radio!

The Minister of Justice

has been killed.

They say it was Pablo.

They say that

he's declared war on the government.

This is your bedroom.

Nice.

This is the kitchen,

and this is Pablo's bedroom

and Pablo's bathroom.

And this is Pablo's money.

You don't touch it.

He needs to keep moving

around these days.

But don't worry,

this war will soon be over.

- Are you done with the cash?

- lt's all done boss.

Let's go! Let's go, chiquitin!

Keys.

Have fun.

The assassination of the Minister

of Justice, Rodrigo Lara Bonilia

has Colombia

on the verge of a civil war.

These are chilling words

from Pablo Escobar's last interview.

The Minister of Justice

lied to the country six times.

He said he wasn't going to resign.

Let's see what happens

in the next few days.

Everyone who opposes Pablo Escobar

is a potential target

of his assassins.

The epidemic of violence

is unprecedented.

Innocent people

are getting caught

in the crossfire.

American forces have now joined

the biggest manhunt

in Colombia's history

for the drug Lord.

Escobar,

confronting this new threat,

responds with

a brutal wave of terror.

The cartel will soon pay

for their crimes.

Escobar and his allies

are an enemy of the state.

Dad!

Boys, try these delicious beans

that Maria made for patron.

It's Ramirez.

Dursi, how are you?

All set.

Boys, we have to get going.

I'll call you later.

This son of a b*tch.

Nico. I'm just gonna watch the game

and then I go.

Have a beer, have a beer, here.

How's Maria feeling?

She's fine.

Just fine?

Yeah, she's ok.

Maybe she's pregnant.

No. Definitely not.

What are you waiting for, Nico?

Attack. Attack, Nico, attack.

We're working on it.

He's working on it.

Shouldn't be work,

Nick, shouldn't be work...

Your brother has a kid, hum?

Yeah.

And they're expecting another one.

You can do it.

They're actually

thinking about going back to Canada.

She's kind of homesick

and wants to go back there.

I want to ask you,

I think that it might be good

for me and Maria to go back too.

At least for a little while,

until things cool off around here.

That's not a good idea, Nico. Not now.

Does Maria know about it?

Yeah, we talked about it.

It's because

they're hitting like goats.

Why does your brother wanna go back?

Has he been having trouble

at the beach?

No, that's all over, thank God.

Thank God?

What do you mean thank God?

Nothing. Just a figure of speech.

Ok.

'Cause God has done

nothing to do with it.

It was you, Nick.

It was your intervention

that got those people killed.

You're as guilty as I am.

Camillo,

can you come help me with this?

Sure.

Nick, we forgot the salt.

Thanks so much for doing this.

It's been impossible to get away.

- How are you getting to the airport?

- Just don't worry about it.

Just buy us tickets for Friday, ok?

We'll meet you guys there.

I'm glad to have you back, brother.

- I love you, Dylan.

- I love you too. Get out of here.

Bye bye.

Hi, Nick.

It will be easy to kill him

if you don't know anything about him.

We're all making sacrifices, Nico.

And I'm very proud of you.

You're like a son to me.

You want melons?

- Take some.

- No, thank you.

Two for 80 pesos.

Take them, they're delicious.

Take them.

Take them, take them. Take them.

Take them. They're delicious.

No, no, no, thank you.

Ok then.

Melons!

Let's go! Come on! Start the car.

Start the car, brother.

What are you waiting for?

Who are you?

I'm Martin.

Broke leg.

No come.

He can't come. I'm Martin.

I take you.

I'll take you.

What's the number?

Don't look. Don't look!

Don't move, understand?

It's not working.

This phone never worked.

If you have another one,

it's very important.

Follow me. It's here.

- This way.

- Thank you.

Hello.

I need to speak to the man

that gave me this number.

Nico, tell me.

I'm here at the church.

The campesino couldn't come cause

he broke his leg so he sent his son.

He seems to know

how everything goes but...

he's just a kid.

Am I supposed

to do everything the same

until the end?

Call me when it's all over.

Everything okay?

The number is 72.

We have to go this way. 72. That's it.

Let's go.

If I had been driving, we would have

been here like an hour ago.

But you're driving

like you're scared or something.

Well whatever, there's your cave.

But I know these mountains

like the back of my hand

and you're driving like one or two

kilometers per hour, you feel me?

Hey, here it is, 72.

It's nicely done.

Brother, it's almost time to eat.

Es que hay hungry.

My wife prepare very good food.

You have a wife?

Yes, of course.

Of course, brother.

This is my wife, Estrella.

And my son, Martin Junior.

This is my son.

How old are you?

Fifteen.

We have to work, we'll eat later.
