Isn't that what Al Capone did? Gaviria: Al Capone? Escobar: Al Capone. Escobar: Gustavo, brother just launder the money. They're asking themselves how two small businessmen - suddenly came up with so much cash. Pablo Escobar: This is the problem? Gustavo Gaviria: People are watching us, Pablo. It was modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, with the three things Carlos liked most: - sex, drugs, and Nazi sympathizers. Turns out it was a damn good place to party.

Pablo Escobar: Gentlemen, I'm going to tell you who I am. The human brain isn't quite the same as a rodent's unless we're talking about cocaine.

On top of that, the only people who had sat phones were the filthy rich, the landowners, the politicians.

The best they had were satellite phones, and in order to capture a satellite phone, you had to fly directly over it. But in Colombia in 1989, it wasn't that easy. You turn on a cell phone or a computer, and you're doomed. They know where you are, they know who you're talking to, and trust me, they know who you're fucking. Season 1 Descenso Steve Murphy: Nowadays, the US government can listen to anything you say.
