1999
Disillusioned with his upbringing, George Jung begins selling marijuana in California, expanding to Mexico before his mother's betrayal leads to a prison sentence where he meets Colombian drug lord Diego Delgado. Upon release, George and Diego establish a massive cocaine distribution network with Pablo Escobar, accumulating wealth while George marries Mirtha and has a daughter, Kristina, though his lavish lifestyle and Mirtha's drug use strain their relationship. After Mirtha divorces him and his partners betray him, George is arrested again and sentenced to a lengthy prison term, where he initially refuses to testify against Diego but is later forced to do so after Mirtha's betrayal regarding his dying father. Years later, George is visited in prison by Kristina, who expresses both love and anger, leaving him to reflect on the choices that led to his isolation.

George Jung, Diego Delgado, Mirtha JungIn all honesty, I don't feel like what I've done is a crime and I think it's illogical and irresponsible for you to sentence me to prison. None of the real criminals of the world ever end up behind bars. I mean, when you think about it, what did I really do? Cross an imaginary line with a bunch of plants? You say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief, but where's the Christmas dinner for the people on relief?
We sell it. I got it all figured out. We make three finger lids and sell them on the beach. We move all of it. We've made ourselves a hundred bucks. Or a lot of weed for our head. What do you think? Not bad, huh? I got the baggies and everything.
Well, I got a call from Pablo. He said this thing with Diego is a disaster. He's giving up lab locations, names, bank accounts, he was very pissed off. Pablo said to take him down. His exact words were "Fuck Diego."
Right. And Holyoke. There are a hundred thousand rich kids with their parents' money to spend, but there's never anything available. Nothing good, anyway. I'm paying four hundred dollars for shit.
Tuna, oh my. Enchante, George. Barbie, he's yummy. He looks like a Ken doll. Oooh, Ken and Barbie. It's perfect. Alright, girls, give me five minutes.
Relax. I've flown with my old man a million times. And he always told me, the taking off part is easy, it's the landing you've got to worry about.
Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, nine. Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, a thousand. It's all there. Wow. A hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars.
No, no. That is where you are wrong. For us, it is cheap. In Medellin, we buy for six-thousand dollars a kilo. IN Miami, we sell for sixty.
