Oh, my God.

I'm so happy to hear your voice!

Calm down. What's going on?

Everybody was shot today.

Juanita's father called

that you were with him

and Felipe and Juan...

And now they are all dead, Nick!

I thought you were dead!

Maria,

I need you to listen to me

and don't think I'm crazy, ok?

I think that Pablo

is trying to kill me.

- What are you talking about?

- I don't have time to explain.

You need to get out

of the house right now.

It's not safe.

Martin de la Pena Vasquez.

At last we meet. A pleasure.

Where's the gringo?

If you tell me, I'll let you live.

So you can give your family

a decent funeral.

If you don't, I'll kill you.

Let's meet in Bogota.

Tomorrow morning at 9 AM

in front of the Canadian Embassy.

There's a Church across from

the embassy, let's meet there at 9 AM.

I'll be there, I promise.

I'm scared, Nick.

Me too.

I love you so much.

I love you too.

"They decided to take Mowgli

to the men immediately.

From here on out,

you'll take care of yourself.

As Mowgli got up

and left the jungle..."

Hello. Who's there?

I wanna speak to him.

Speak to me. Where are you?

I wanna speak to him now.

I wanna know why all the men

that left with me are dead.

Why aren't you calling

from the restaurant?

How do you know I'm not calling

from the restaurant?

Because no one has called you

to confirm they've killed me yet.

Is that it?

- Are you still there?

- I thought you said it.

I didn't say sh*t. Put Pablo Escobar

on the phone right now.

You can tell him

his treasure's in danger.

"When Mowgli stopped to rest,

a happy bear wandered over,

named Baloo.

Baloo figured that the elephant

- had much to learn..."

- Excuse me, patron.

There's a little problem

with the Canadian.

He never made it to the restaurant.

Darling, you know who's calling?

Nick, Maria's boyfriend.

Do you want to talk to him?

Ask him where he is. And tell him

we thought we lost him in the jungle,

like Mowgli.

Nick,

where are you? You got lost

in the jungle lost like Mowgli?

No. I'm not lost.

Can I speak with your dad, please?

We're drawing

the animal from the hacienda

I know, I know.

And I'm going to draw you too.

I need to speak

to your daddy right now.

What's up, Nico? Everything good?

You want me dead?

Where are you, man?

Pablo, the man that answered

the phone made a mistake.

How could he know

I wasn't calling from the restaurant?

Who's over there waiting for me?

Answer me.

Nick, when you was a kid,

did you read The Jungle Book?

- Stop this bullshit and answer me!

- I am answering you, Nick.

Just listen.

Remember the end? When he leaves

his friends in the jungle

and goes to the village

where the humans are?

Well, today I am Mowgli.

Unfortunately...

you're one of those friends

that I have to leave behind.

You said I was like a son to you.

Nick, there are laws of nature

and once they take control,

you have to accept them.

Yes.

The man is not coming

to the restaurant.

He's somewhere outside.

Cap y, Drago.

Get out of there and come over here.

I see Drago.

Just say hello.

Nick, Maria is gonna be fine.

- Please, help me.

- The way out is back there.

I know, I know, please.

Please.

- Open.

- The exit is back there.

Please, please.

It's a different key.

Where the hell are you going?

There's no exit over there.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

- Have you seen the gringo?

- Yes.

- How long ago?

- He left this way a minute ago.

Sit down and don't move.

The man is nearby.

Go check the houses over there.

Allo? Patron.

He escaped

when I was about to catch him.

I'm going to ask the police for help.

Don't worry, patron. Trust us.

He's not going to escape us.

Don't worry.

I've already checked the car.

Go check the hotel,

the houses on the block.

Get going!

Captain, this is Drago Gutierrez.

I need a few men here

to close a perimeter around ltuango.

Send quite a few men. To return

the favor to the boss, is that clear?

We're looking for a gringo!

He's dangerous!

This gringo is an enemy

of Pablo Escobar!

Don't hide him!

Don't help the gringo!

If he gets into your house,

get him out.

This gringo is an enemy

of Pablo Escobar!

Come on, let's go!

Good afternoon, captain.

He's hiding out somewhere around here.

We'll look for him.

- We have to find him, and kill him.

- Ok, we'll kill him.

Look in that house over there.

Over here, and up there.

Hurry before he escapes.

You are the man of the family.

Your priority is to take care

of your mom

- and your little sister.

- Yes, sir.

For you, Papa-

Take care of yourself.

You know that we need you.
