    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The music playing at the beginning of the episode (when Pablo Escobar sings along in the shower) and at the end is the tango "Cambalache". The lyrics are about the decline of society at the time it was written in the 1930s.
    • Goofs
      Towards the end of the episode, when Pablo and his family escape the house through tunnels, one of the men is breaking the light bulbs behind them. Shortly afterwards the broken bulb is seen and it's a newer halogen model, not incandescent.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Steve Murphy: [narrating] Imagine this, President of Colombia goes on TV and tells the whole world he'll never make a deal with you. Now a normal person thinks, "I'm fucked."But Pablo Escobar, he thinks that's just your opening offer. So the man finds a way to respond. And how did Gaviria take Pablo's offer? I think it's safe to say that he didn't really care for it. But it wasn't just Gaviria Pablo was talking to. In his mind, he was also negotiating with the leader of the free world. You see, the problem was, George Bush had his own plans for Escobar. We will, for the first time, make available the appropriate resources of America's armed forces. And for the drug kingpins, the death penalty. And with a Commander in Chief who used to be the head of the CIA - well, you can use your imagination as to what "appropriate resources" might mean.

    Good episode
    Greetings from Lithuania.

    "Cambalache" 2nd episode of "Narcos" season 2 was as good as many of the previous episodes. It seems they can't go wrong with this show, there aren't any boring conversations scenes that would feel like a filler. Writing was great as well acting, directing and production values.

    Overall, "Cambalache" moved story forward and did it in a involving and entertaining way. Can't wait to see next episodes. Great show overall.
