When presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galán was shot dead on a rally stage outside Bogotá in August 1989, Colombia could no longer pretend it wasn't at war with its own most powerful criminal. This episode traces the events and decisions that made that assassination inevitable — and the catastrophic violence that followed.
It begins where Escobar began: a kid from the comunas of Medellín, stealing tombstones and smuggling stereos, who saw a gap in the cocaine supply chain and built a Fortune 500 operation to fill it. At the Medellín Cartel's peak, eighty tons of cocaine moved into the United States every month, generating roughly seventy million dollars a day — so much cash that rats gnawing through storage were written off as a line-item loss.
But this episode also examines the other Escobar: the one who built soccer fields in the slums, funded housing for the poor, and won a seat in the Colombian congress — until Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla exposed his criminal record and paid for it with his life.
The doctrine of plata o plomo — silver or lead — was not a slogan. It was policy. Judges, police officers, journalists, and politicians all faced the same binary. Those who refused the bribe took the bullet. The death toll across Escobar's years runs to tens of thousands.
This is the chapter where Escobar stops being a criminal and becomes something closer to a sovereign: a man who decided the Colombian state was his enemy, and acted accordingly.
