Ahora, malparido, escucha el patrón.

This really depends on a) how much you're looking to spend; b) how much you like her; and c) how grand a gesture you think you should make. Since that is up to you to decide, pendejo, I'm gonna throw the most over-the-top, exaggerated, overwhelming idea and you can turn it down a couple of notches if you want.


You ready, puto?


My idea is: make her a very own Narcos care-package.

First: find a nice, sturdy container. It has to look like something a drug dealer could use to smuggle coke/money in order to add to the character of it. You can use a small suitcase or a duffel bag, but the shadier it looks, the better.

Second: there is an infinity of books writter on Pablo Escobar. Arguably the most famous is Mark Bowden's "Killing Pablo" (Find it on Amazon), and that might be a good starting point. Another choice is "Pablo Escobar: My Father" (Find it on Amazon), written by Pablo's own son. Buy her one of those.

Third, you can buy her something from Escobar Henao, a line of clothing owned by Pablo's son. They have stores in NY and LA if you're in the US (oddly enough, they don't have any stores in Colombia).

Fourth, you can probably find a Narcos poster for sale. The best bet would probably be an online store.

Fifth, you can buy her a Medellín/Colombia travel guide. It should mention a couple of spots relevant to Escobar's history or places that show up at the series (such as the government palace, La Catedral, and probably the house where Pablo was killed), and I've heard Colombia is a beautiful country. The more it relates to the show or to Pablo himself, the better - if it gives you the address of Escobar's death house and/or mentions the neighbourhood he created, that's the one you get.

Sixth, try to find actual photos of news articles from Pablo's death (or any major events in Escobar history, such as the Avianca bombing, or anything related to the Medellín cartel) and print them out. Sort of like this one.

Seven, add a note. Something simple, possibly in Spanish (if you're not in a Spanish-speaking country, obviously), maybe "espero que te guste el regalo" ("I hope you like the gift"). Bonus points if you can fit in a famous quote from the series or a Spanish curse word in it.

Finally, grab some EDIT: (actual) sugar and put in a transparent plastic bag. It's the metaphorical icing on the cake. Throw that in just to make it look more authentic, even though it's fake. If you want to, you can put some wads of fake cash as well, but I think the sugar, a.k.a. fake cocaine, is the most important.

It's a lot of work (and probably a lot of money), but if you find it worthy, it might be a good idea to look at the whole package. Worst case scenario, you can use some of these individual items as suggestions.

Disclaimer: I borrowed the poster suggestion from u/wildwriting in a comment below. Additionally, I feel obligated to link you to u/Makensil1's post on Pablo-related content. Even though I was gonna link a couple of things from there, Escobar Henao hadn't crossed my mind. If that works, you have them both to thank.

EDIT: Added 6 & 7; added the fake cash idea; clarification on the fake sugar.

EDIT 2: holy crap, I've been gilded! Thank you so much u/danywanted for popping my gold cherry. I greatly appreciate it!

He was coerced into that job, and he tried to leave it several times but once you're so deep in the mud is hard, if you're genuinely interested read his book, is super interesting.

Yes, the hands down best book about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar is "Killing Pablo" by Mark Bowden. Very well written and very informative.

Well, even in Harry Potter, there are several people who could've been sorted into different houses. Example, Hermione (Ravenclaw, Slytherin). The series puts Miguel's deeds in a limited scope. My point is, Miguel is ambitious, but he was also smart. See The Power of the Dog. Miguel was very smart. You asked who our favorites are, and I told you Miguel and that Narcos didn't show how smart he was. I didn't say Miguel wasn't ambitious. Being smart and ambitious are not mutually exclusive traits (See Gilberto). Miguel made very few mistakes, and was only captured after the Mexican government turned on him after constant pressure from the U.S.

You’re welcome

There's a lot of material to work with, and I'm definitely looking forward to Season 3. If you're compelled by the story, there are several films and bios that go into more depth and/or are more accurate. I really enjoyed Pablo Escobar: My Father by Juan Pablo Escobar. He definitely has a unique perspective. (keep in mind he was actually 16 or 17 when his father was killed, not the kid we saw in season 2).

[Probable spoilers ahead]

So IRL, after Pablo was killed, Tata and his son spent a lot of time making peace with narcos. In reality, "making peace" meant they were forced to give whatever assets they still had over to lots of people, trying to appease them. There's a lot of drama here, and it make for at least a few solid, compelling episodes (my guess is it's a thread woven through season 3).

Escobar's immediate family then has some shady shit happen when they flee to Rio. And, Juan Pablo in his book talks a lot about how the extended family really fucked them before and after Pablo's death (working against the family with the feds). There's good stuff here. However, once they leave Columbia, the Escobars pretty much keep their noses clean until present day, so there isn't much more to tell.

Meanwhile, Cali rises to power (as you predict). Of course, there are other cartels, and Columbian history didn't suddenly become roses and sunshine once Escobar was killed. The DEA agents in the show actually stay in Columbia for quite a long time (I'd need to find their bios again to confirm when), so you have to assume they kept busy there...

Valeria Velez (Virginia Vallejo) Escobar's journalist girlfriend, wasn't killed. She's still alive and living in the U.S. Also, she wrote a memoir called: Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar

They also left out Pablo's connection to Griselada Blanco (the Black Widow) and how she actually helped him get started.

But I disagree that makes his son a bad person.
