- Steve Murphy: [voiceover] Less than an hour after Escobar escaped La Catedral, word had spread all over Colombia that war was coming again. But this time would be different. This time, there would be no surrender, no negotiations, no deals. This time we were gonna kill him. Escobar said, "Better a grave in Colombia than a cell in the US." Well, guess what, motherfucker? That works for me.
- Pablo Escobar: [about Sandoval] I turned myself in to that punk... the vice minister of justice. But since there is no justice in this country, he is the vice minister of nothing.
- Pablo Escobar: Your friend Gaviria has ordered Special Forces to raid the prison while you're still inside.
- Eduardo Sandoval: I would have done the same thing.
- Pablo Escobar: [to his men] Don't kill him. If he dies it will be at the hands of his own government.
- Eduardo Sandoval: How long will I be here as a hostage?
- Pablo Escobar: You are not my hostage. You are my guest.
- Pablo Escobar: I just realized something. The president didn't just betray me, he also betrayed you. He knew if you came here there would be three options. One: I leave with you, peacefully. Two: I take you hostage. Three: I shoot you, and then, he really would have a good excuse to kill me. Right? Either way, he wins. Right?
- Eduardo Sandoval: Maybe the president is betraying us both. You could be right. But you know something? I'll sacrifice my life to make sure you're dead!
- Pacho Herrera: Our government doesn't take too kindly to American-backed death squads. I could blackmail you with these pictures. You'd lose your career at the DEA, go to jail maybe here in Colombia. But don't worry. I won't ask you or Javier Peña to cross any line you haven't already crossed.
- Steve Murphy: So you think the DEA and Cali cartel would be a good match.

- TV News Anchorwoman: When the public found out about the excessive lifestyle of the prisoners at La Catedral, the police began an investigation into the supposed capital crimes being committed by Pablo Escobar within the prison walls. The central part of this investigation involves the disappearance of Gerardo Moncada and Fernando Galeano.
