Horacio Carrillo quotes from Narcos

Horacio Carrillo

Extradition doesn't mean anything unless you can catch him.

Steve Murphy

With our help, you will.

Carrillo

Oh, that's right. Gringos to the rescue.

Murphy

It's one fucking man against the United States of America.

Carrillo

One man with helicopters, airplanes, vehicles, planned escape routes - and a network of informants.

Murphy

Our government will provide money, men, weapons.

Carrillo

You make it sound so easy. But Escobar has always managed to stay one step ahead of us.

Murphy

Help us catch him.

Carrillo

I'll never be assigned to this. Jaramillo hates my guts.

Murphy

Let me take care of that.

Carrillo

You think extradition's a victory.

Murphy

It is.

Carrillo

Escobar will not go lightly. He will make Colombia bleed.

Pablo Escobar

[answering his satellite phone] Hello?

You think you're hot shit? You should change your satellite phone.

Escobar

Who is this?

Your mother's in Rionegro with that tub of lard you call your son. And your wife was at Carrera 11 today, shopping for clothes.

Escobar

You bastard son of a bitch, you think that, what, you think because you're a cop I'm afraid of you or something?

You know where my family is, fag, well, I know where yours is, too. Don't forget that.

Escobar

Gonorrhea bastard son of a bitch. Why don't you take money like everyone else? I could have had you living like a king. But now, guess what? Time to kill your dad, your mom, your kids, your entire family, and you should be smart enough to realize I have each and every one of them under watch, you fucking bastard.

Not everyone's for sale, Pablo. You just keep hiding, and I will find you. Don't know when but I will find you. And when I find you - I'm going to kill you.

Escobar

I'm going to kill you, fag! I'm going to kill you and your entire family, you son of a bitch! [line disconnects; long pause as he briefly walks] This, then, is war.

Horacio Carrillo

Navegante, you've been working for Gacha for many years. I'm sure in that time you've earned way more than we are giving you. So tell me, why do you want to betray him?

That fucker's crazy. He's gonna get us all killed. [leaves]

Carrillo

I don't believe him one bit.

Javier Peña

What do you care why he's doing it?

Carrillo

Because we have 23 agents with outdated weapons waiting in Barranquilla. And he has twice as many men with brand new weapons. And frankly I'm tired of sending young men to face certain death.

Peña

So then we have to be smart. We have to create a trap. If we catch him alive, he'll give us Escobar. And the Ochoas. The entire cartel-

Carrillo

I don't give a fuck, Javier. I want him dead.

Peña

He doesn't care about death. He only fears rotting in jail. That's the real victory.

Carrillo

Right, I forgot you're a gringo.

Peña

What's that supposed to mean?

Carrillo

What are you risking? These aren't your men. You have no family here to lose. If this goes badly, there will be more widows and orphans, and I'll have to carry that on my shoulders.

Peña

Well I trust his information. And I trust you.

Carrillo

But if this turns out bad it'll be on your conscience.

Gustavo Gaviria

You're making a big mistake, Carrillo. We're already in negotiations with the government. You have no reason to be doing this.

Carrillo

You're right. That's why I'm not here.

Then what the fuck do you want?

Carrillo

Don't act stupid. Give me your cousin and I'll let you live.

[sighs] All right. Kill me, then, motherfucker.

Carrillo

I won't do that myself, but I want to introduce you to some people who would love to do it for me. [gestures to one soldier] This guy? This is Lastia. His sister died in a bookstore in Bogotá in a bombing you coordinated. She was 17 years old. And this guy here, [points to another] this is Trujillo. You killed his father and his brother for being cops.

That has nothing to do with me.

Carrillo

No? You know if you support evil, you are evil. Look at them. I just want you to look at their faces. A few of the victims you've left in your wake. Tell me, have you ever felt the swift vengeance of justice? Give me your cousin or I'll let these men show you that vengeance with their fists.

Do it, then you sons of bitches.

Carrillo

OK, then. We'll see how you feel after ten minutes. [to men] Do it. [the Search Bloc troopers start beating up Gustavo]

Steve Murphy

[voiceover] As part of Escobar's surrender deal, Search Bloc was disbanded, and Colonel Carrillo was transferred out of the country. For the time being, Carrillo's war was over.

Javier Peña

I don't see why they're sending you to Spain. It's not like the cocaine war is over. Galeano and Moncada are fronting for Escobar.

Horacio Carrillo

My superiors say I play too rough.

Steve Murphy

At least Escobar is in jail and you can leave knowing you helped put him there.

Carrillo

Jail? I know you gringos aren't allowed to do flyovers, but um I got some photographs, courtesy of the Colombian military. [shows pictures] I want you to look at 'em, tell me if this qualifies as a jail.

Murphy

He's got a fucking soccer field.

Carrillo

Escobar is moving more coke than ever. Without the Colombian government breathing down his neck, all he's gotta worry about is the Cali cartel. Let's face it, fellas, he won.

Pablo Escobar

[to Carrillo] Look at me... Look at me... you asked a child to give me this... [pointing to THE bullet] You can have it back. [shoots him] And this... is for my cousin, Gustavo.

Horacio Carrillo

Coward.

Pablo Escobar

Son of a bitch. [shoots him a couple of times]
