@@rabd3721 No he wasn't. If they wanted him dead, Chepe could of just walked up and clapped him without saying one word.

The news reporter wanted to size him up saying his story was going to print, and that is the end of that. What the news reporter failed to actually see, maybe because he hasn't been around the streets, was he was talking to a ruthless killer that was contemplating whether he can buy you off or just kill you and hop on the first plane to Columbia. He wasn't talking to someone who was scared to kill in public, and the news reporter didn't see how much of a dangerous situation he was actually in.

@@UncleTwoTimez I don’t know where you live but trains aren’t louder than gunshots. Unless the guy is using a gun with a suppressor on it then MAYBE a subway train would completely mask the sound... You must have some deafening trains around your parts 😂😂😂
Bro I agree 100%... Pacho and Chepe were 2 of the biggest gangsters in the whole series. They put way too much emphasis on George and David’s relationship too. Would have been great to see more of their characters in action. I even think a spin-off series about Chepe would be awesome. His actual life was insane.

In Portuguese shows, the guy who plays Chepe here always plays a bumbling dad or a harmless man-child. Really weird seeing him as a psycho here. Still, I think it suits him better.

@@accen7official882 And yet, at the end of the day, who died and who lived? I'm sure the journalist regretted his decision immediately; not the definition of brass balls.

A true journalist. A martyr of the profession. When the Cartel offered him silver, he declined it. So they gave him lead. That man, kept his integrity. He died in the service of the public because he chose not to submit to the Cartel. A Cuban immigrant that believed in freedom. He was more American than most native born these days. The Cuban born American journalist is based on Manuel de Dios Unanue. An anti-drug investigative journalist. He was shot and killed by a hitman sent by the Cali Cartel. His death marks the first to be killed on US soil by a Columbian Cartel. His killer was Wilson Alejandro Mejia-Velez. Who was sent by Santacruz. Manuel is survived by his siblings and 2 year old daughter.
@@rdk2505 by standing up for his principles and willing to die for them he exemplified the true spirit of America better than most people that live in the USA since the majority of people in the country will never do so.
Narcos keeps showing you how bad Hollywood actors actually are. Most of them are nowhere close to good. World is full of great actors like this guy who would never get close to Hollywood.
@@mr.nobody9697 He's saying Hollywood, not generalizing American actors. Hollywood may be in America but that doesn't mean all actors in Hollywood are American. See the problem is Hollywood keeps casting the same people over and over in the movies because they're famous and not because of acting talents, that's what's wrong.
I can't stand when people think anything foreign is automatically amazing. Do you understand Spanish? First off the the accents are way off and the delivery isn't so good that you have to come here and take a shot at American Actors. Benicio Del Toro and Andy Garcia would've played this scene 100 times better and with better Spanish. I know a LOT of Latinos that don't like the fact that the accents and mannerisms in this series are so bad. Chepe is supposed to be Cali Colombian the actor speaks with a Cuban accent and his mannerisms are seriously NOT Colombian. De Dios, the dead journalist was Cuban in real life but this actor , Gabriel Sloyer, who's from Long Island by the way, sounds like an American imitating a Cuban.
I feel like this whole scene was resembled so much towards Taxi Driver and The Godfather. The way Narcos portrayed NYC was extremely similar to taxi driver in filmography and this scene took so much from the Godfather. I feel as though Chepe was Michael Corleone and the journalist was like Sollozo
Yeah, ironically, Sollozo was the drug dealer although he ended up got shot by a guy had a college degree, and such thing only happened in fiction. In real life, drug dealers pulled the trigger.
I love Chepe's expression when he stands up and shots the journalist more. He has a tired even bored expression, like killing someone in cold blood is just another Tuesday for him. At the same time he seems kinda frustrated the journalist didn't accept the hush money.
2:55 the moment before he pulled the trigger, the sound of the train reminds me of the moment where Michael pulled the trigger and kill Sollozzo in Godfather. Also Chepe's laugh before shooting the guy is kind of funny but creepy
In real life, this man had TWO attempts on his life. They (Chepe's crew, although it could have been Pacho's as he also came to NY at times) told him to stop investigating and he didn't listen. Then somehow, by the grace of god, he survived the first attempt on his life. They told him to run. But did the journalist listen and run? No. He stayed around the same cartel infested area and kept doing what he did. He didn't survive the second attempt on his life. He now has a little plaque dedicated to him with his name on it on a very tiny, mini-plaza on Roosevelt ave in between 82nd street and 83rd street in Jackson heights (Queens).

You mean the actor right? How would you know how the real Chepe was or how much charisma he had. The Portuguese actor Pepe Rapazote who portrayed him does it with charisma yes.
Sometimes you have to be aware of who you are dealing with. The moment he saw that gentleman was at the table he should have realized his life was on the line. I'd a said yes to whatever bribe and left that table alive and disappeared. His life was more valuable than that story.
@@pirobot668beta he doesn’t necessarily side with evil. He sided with keeping his life. He sides with being there to support his wife, his children. Maybe he could take the bribe and turn it in to the police if he doesn’t like the blood on the money. Who knows. Either way though, once the Cartel knows you by name, you’re going to either be their pawn in exchange for your life, or you’ll be running for your life. There are no good outcomes.
Naive, young, not quick on the uptake and very dead. You gotta read a room. His life was forfeit the second Chepe turned around and sat down. He could have played along. Chepe did not know how committed the reporters was to his values. You gotta pick your battles.
Jesus I get chills thinking about season 3 it was so damn good except for how some it ended I loved every bad guy but especially Chepe and Pacho who unfortunately didn't get as much time as I would have liked..and I hate how Chepe ended up.

@@jsphat81 Well, most portuguese people speak a brand of portuguese spanish hybrid called " portuñol ". It's actually deceptively easy for us to imitate a spanish or latin american accent if you study spanish.
@@slicklol Portuguese and Brazilians are just like the British with American characters in the sense you think you're masters at imitating accents and you're not. Pêpê Rapazote does NOT sound Cali Colombian and his body language is 100% European, not Latino. The Spanish accent has during the entire role is a weird mix of Cuban and sometimes even comes across as Puerto Rican with moments where he pronounces things like a Mexican. The accenting is actually a mess, NOT Colombian at all.
Chepe didn't kill Manuel de Dios (who spoke with a Puerto Rican accent in real life), but Chepe got clipped like a mangy dog by the Colombian National Police.
Well I see a blooper at the beginning of the scene. So this scene takes place in 1992 and the train they are showing is an R188. It should be an R36 train or “red bird”
@@sparrowprince3432 His story is out, and he died with dignity for it. Living for integrity is arguably more important than living for longevity. Only he can say whether it was worth it to him, pointless to project one's own worries and fears onto a more principled man than one's self.
No. He was a dumbass. You can attempt to flower it up and praise his integrity, but the truth is: no one will care and life goes on, while he sits there, a rotting cadaver, with a bullet in his head. That’s called reality.
Manuel de Dios Unanue (4 January 1943 - 11 March 1992) was a Cuban born US journalist, radio show host, anti-drug crusading editor of magazines Cambio XXI and Crimen, and editor-in-chief of El Diario La Prensa, New York City's largest Spanish-language daily newspaper.
2:22, his look reminds me of Escobar. For example how he looked at Felix in Narcos Mexico and also then looking away. Too bad Chepo and Escobar never had a conversation.
Just to highlight how calculating Chepe was, he waited to shoot until the el train was passing so no one heard the shot. You can hear it at 2:56. Chepe scheduled the meeting to exactly when the el train would be passing and when he'd have the answer he needed. The only people that heard that shot were in the diner and immediately outside.
Chepe is so polite and well spoken it is scary.

Because they’ll either threaten or kill you if you don’t.
Take their money and they will kill you too.
@@thepianofamily8304 i’ll take the extra day of living
The cartels lost power now it’s mainly sub sectors trying to thrive
Jesus I get chills thinking about season 3 it was so damn good except for how some it ended I loved every bad guy but especially Chepe and Pacho who unfortunately didn't get as much time as I would have liked..and I hate how Chepe ended up. But I loved them all Miguel was a badass and so was David and of course Pena and Salcedo were also Great.. classic season of a great show
1 of the best endings to a criminal series/movie Ive seen because it pretty much sums up how a lot of them end up in real life. Brutal and sudden
TheSkyWhale I use and like 5 times in the whole paragraph ..skywhale huh maybe that's a nickname for thinkin you're God I mean for real u clowning on my overuse of and ..AND not writing proper sentences..this is CZcams not Harvard yo
David was annoying glad he got
Smoked

. You people are the worst because you’re so insecure about yourself you have to go on the Internet and hate on people for random stuff because you need to find something wrong in everything others do. By you saying that you sound stupid because it seems you can’t read what he said but everyone else could.
Nah, the ending is good.
The dude who played Chepe would’ve made a fantastic Pablo Escobar too
Best actor in the series. Him and Pacho. Should’ve had a way bigger part.
That's the guy who plays Javier on Red Dead Redemption 2
We needed more Don Chepe
Love the music in the end
I wish i could talk like this el chepe, the voice the accent and fluent spanish
What's interesting is that the guy isn't even a native Spanish speaker. He's Portuguese..
@@bkcalvine so does Rodrigo Amarante, the singer of Narcos Opening song
@@byakugan641 absolutely right.
This actor is incredible and I love how they paid respect to the Godfather with the noise leading up to him shooting.
When trying to play tough goes wrong
Well Chepe was an educated man. Other guy just killed it. At least he gave his thanks for the time the other guy took for hearing him.
Lol he had no other choice than listening to chepe first, he was scared shitless
@@ratconsumer666
Anyone would be scared shitless
But he overcame the fear and said : « No, I will not become one of the dozens or hundreds of journalist you bribe. I will stand up to the truth »
Silver or lead was the proposition.
He chose lead.
Man I'm gonna have to binge watch this show.
He's not even a spanish speaker and to have an accent like that WTF. Portuguese accent is scary
Agree, he pulls an amazing latin accent.
@@martinregular5003 Chepe's actor's actual voice is so hilariously different.
He sounds Cuban to be honest and for a Portuguese native his Spanish is amazing.
@@jsphat81 Well, most portuguese people speak a brand of portuguese spanish hybrid called " portuñol ". It's actually deceptively easy for us to imitate a spanish or latin american accent if you study spanish.
@@slicklol Portuguese and Brazilians are just like the British with American characters in the sense you think you're masters at imitating accents and you're not.
Pêpê Rapazote does NOT sound Cali Colombian and his body language is 100% European, not Latino. The Spanish accent has during the entire role is a weird mix of Cuban and sometimes even comes across as Puerto Rican with moments where he pronounces things like a Mexican. The accenting is actually a mess, NOT Colombian at all.
This and the barbershop scene gets me every time
That is exactly situation when you fuck with wrong people and believe that system can protect you.
Chepe didn't kill Manuel de Dios (who spoke with a Puerto Rican accent in real life), but Chepe got clipped like a mangy dog by the Colombian National Police.
what i noticed is that alot of these actors are portuguese,and their spanish is amazing!
Spanish and Portuguese are Twin languages
chepe is an amazing character!
by far my favorite character from that show
both guys give great performance here. crespo is particularly interesting portrayal; very natural and charming.
He did give the journalist a chance though…
He could have just taken the money and still ran the story and lived another day.
Chepe is a complete badass and a great character
I’d love for the guys behind Narcos to make a series about the American mafia.
They’d probably make the most hardcore American gangster show ever.
the most hardcore show about the American mafia will always be the Sopranos, say what my dude? 😆
@@martinlopez2816 Jersey? They're nothing more than a glorified crew.
You have a good one. it's called Boardwalk Empire
Reminds me of the godfather scene, with the train screech.
When que Michael kills Solorzzo? And the captain...
Indeed, same eerie vibes.
Chepe is an All TIME GANSTA!!💣💣
„Cu aaa, bonito“ 😂👌🏼
jajaja
Like talking with el diablo he can make all ur dreams come true
Journalist "Chepe?"
Chepe "yeah"
Journalists "Che pendejo"
Chepe (smokes him cuz he cant take a joke)
well at least the story of his murder got printed
In real life one of Chepes hitmen killed the journalist, on the orders of course of Chepe.
The actor nailed the expression of defiant fear.
Always give Respect to a man with a gun.
problem is that if u don't know abt the gun
Well I see a blooper at the beginning of the scene. So this scene takes place in 1992 and the train they are showing is an R188. It should be an R36 train or “red bird”
yea.. a blooper
If he really believed in freedom New York City is the last place he should have gone.
Should’ve went to Texas.
@@Bane03X lol
Bane yes
Why
@@beyondthestars4299 Because New York is an over regulated and over taxed shit hole.
Recently I subconsciously started laughing like Chepe and didn't realize it until now lol
chepe is most dangerous when he smiles at you. total sociopath but i love the character :)
This journalist demonstrated the definition of bravery. Uncompromising fearlessness in the face of evil and corruption.
He demonstrated the definition of stupidity. Look at him now.
@@sparrowprince3432 His story is out, and he died with dignity for it. Living for integrity is arguably more important than living for longevity. Only he can say whether it was worth it to him, pointless to project one's own worries and fears onto a more principled man than one's self.
No. He was a dumbass. You can attempt to flower it up and praise his integrity, but the truth is: no one will care and life goes on, while he sits there, a rotting cadaver, with a bullet in his head. That’s called reality.
Godfather reference
Well done this scene was epic
Manuel de Dios Unanue (4 January 1943 - 11 March 1992) was a Cuban born US journalist, radio show host, anti-drug crusading editor of magazines Cambio XXI and Crimen, and editor-in-chief of El Diario La Prensa, New York City's largest Spanish-language daily newspaper.
2:22, his look reminds me of Escobar. For example how he looked at Felix in Narcos Mexico and also then looking away.
Too bad Chepo and Escobar never had a conversation.
That laugh though.......
I would've taken the deal.
Amazing scene and acting!!!
When journalists were actually journalist rather than activists.
@Kay Theo it does.
The stupidity is palpable
There are still journalist like that they are just extremely rare
See journalists in latin america who get assasinatedby cartels still nowadays
Never look down on a man cuz of his position in life...
To his face, at least...
What that means
@@p.escobar6014 you ask what that means and your name is P. Escobar
What that means 😜
A heartless criminal deserves to be looked down. They create nothing. Worse, they do the opposite of creation, DESTRUCTION!!
Fun little fact, the actor also has a small role in Shameless (American TV serie). He plays a brazilian drug lord.
When he asked the journalist, how long does it take to get to the airport from here, he already plans his escape
RIP Javier Escuella
grande Pêpê Rapazote, orgulho português.
Muy buen actor 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇴🇵🇹
EL CHEPE THAT ACTOR REALLY IMPRESS ME.. I HOPE HE DO MORE MOVIES OR SERIES
I wish we had more Chepe in season 3, he was fucking awesome.
This reminds be of ghostbusters. "When someone asks you if your a God, you say yes". In this instance, tell the person whatever they want to hear.
chepe could be a character in GTA IV
yeah, have u noticed that most GTA characters are chaotic not calm nor calculated?
Pêpê Rapazote is an amazing actor.
He was great as Chepe
the actor that played Chepe is amazing!
Poor javier escuella 😂😂
Hari PK why do you say Javier escuela? Did he voice him?
@@roytorr4303 yup
Bro that’s awesome I didn’t know that hahaha
You could do anything you want,but never ever risk your life,especially in front of a killer. That's the first rule.
I always used to think that this chepe guy could’ve played an incredible pablo escobar role
this is like the 30th time ive watched this scene
I like how they copied godfather with the train noise approaching in the back
Never try to negotiate with a criminal that has his mind set on something he wants.
Because he will Make you Disappear
He didnt negotiate, thats exactly why he got shot. Your point completely contradicts the situation he was in
He killed the guy who played Javier Escuela in Red Dead 2!
Just to highlight how calculating Chepe was, he waited to shoot until the el train was passing so no one heard the shot. You can hear it at 2:56. Chepe scheduled the meeting to exactly when the el train would be passing and when he'd have the answer he needed. The only people that heard that shot were in the diner and immediately outside.
He's such a good actor.
Yeah, nobody couldve played this charater better.
