This scene occurs near the beginning of the opera, immediately after the assassination of presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galán (an act that was perpetrated by Pablo's Medellín Cartel). Gustavo, Pablo’s cousin and right-hand man, frantically enters and informs Pablo that the government knows about the Medellín Cartel’s involvement with the assassination. Because of this, the government has formed a search bloc to capture Pablo. Unperturbed, Pablo sings a defiant aria (“Basta Gustavo”), telling Gustavo not to worry, and boasting about the strength of his cartel. (Sean Panikkar as Gustavo, Andres Cascante as Pablo Escobar, with The Budapest Scoring Orchestra).
