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.

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.
@@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.
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).
@@othelliusmaximus stupid. It’s admirable to stand up for what you believe in. For justice. But when you do it to the cartel, it’s just stupid. Especially if you have a family, kids. You need to think about them too.

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.
@@jabarhenv5933 was 2nd season the one with gentleman of Cali, and their head of security working with DEA? That to me was easily the best, had the most suspense.
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
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.

@@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.
The comment section forget that journalist was already a dead man once he walked into that diner. There was no offer, either he publishes his story or another person takes his place. If he was going to die, he’d rather die with honor, a term that exists in every civilization. This scene is overly dramatic, the journalist ended up assassinated by one of Chepe’s goons which again, there was no proposal by Chepe.
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.
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.
the poor sucker that got killed in this scene was inspired by Manuel de Dios Unanue, a cuban-gringo journalist that was killed on March 11, 1992 by alleged hitman Alejandro Wilson Mejia-Velez who was allegedly acting under orders of Jose Santacruz Londoño. By the way, Santacruz in Spanish can be translate as Holly cross
@@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.
He carried every scene he was in 🙏 actor did a great job playing as him and looking like him but a bit more thin chepe was a lil more chubby irl I think
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.
Chepe is not only an amazing actor, his real voice is just fucking so much different, it's *amazing*. This guy might not be a "Vincent Chase-movie star", but he's an amazing fucking actor.

The cartels lost power now it’s mainly sub sectors trying to thrive
you only have to look up the word "Cuba" to find this scene on UA-cam
I like how they copied godfather with the train noise approaching in the back
More like a reference 🤷
If Chepe met Lalo Salamanca
Chepe is a complete badass and a great character
by far my favorite character from that show
Next to pacho 🙏
When trying to play tough goes wrong
the actor that played Chepe is amazing!
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.
Pêpê Rapazote is an amazing actor.
He was great as Chepe
This and the barbershop scene gets me every time
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
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 »
Man I'm gonna have to binge watch this show.
He did give the journalist a chance though…
He could have just taken the money and still ran the story and lived another day.
This actor is incredible and I love how they paid respect to the Godfather with the noise leading up to him shooting.
chepe is an amazing character!
The actor nailed the expression of defiant fear.
what i noticed is that alot of these actors are portuguese,and their spanish is amazing!
Spanish and Portuguese are Twin languages
both guys give great performance here. crespo is particularly interesting portrayal; very natural and charming.
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.
The comment section forget that journalist was already a dead man once he walked into that diner. There was no offer, either he publishes his story or another person takes his place. If he was going to die, he’d rather die with honor, a term that exists in every civilization.
This scene is overly dramatic, the journalist ended up assassinated by one of Chepe’s goons which again, there was no proposal by Chepe.
Always give Respect to a man with a gun.
problem is that if u don't know abt the gun
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.
Reminds me of the godfather scene, with the train screech.
When que Michael kills Solorzzo? And the captain...
Indeed, same eerie vibes.
Fun little fact, the actor also has a small role in Shameless (American TV serie). He plays a brazilian drug lord.
Like talking with el diablo he can make all ur dreams come true
When he asked the journalist, how long does it take to get to the airport from here, he already plans his escape
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
Silver or lead was the proposition.
He chose lead.
chepe is most dangerous when he smiles at you. total sociopath but i love the character :)
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.
the poor sucker that got killed in this scene was inspired by Manuel de Dios Unanue, a cuban-gringo journalist that was killed on March 11, 1992 by alleged hitman Alejandro Wilson Mejia-Velez who was allegedly acting under orders of Jose Santacruz Londoño. By the way, Santacruz in Spanish can be translate as Holly cross
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.
Chepe was my favorite character on the show
He carried every scene he was in 🙏 actor did a great job playing as him and looking like him but a bit more thin chepe was a lil more chubby irl I think
Recently I subconsciously started laughing like Chepe and didn't realize it until now lol
I thought freedom is bulletproof
In real life one of Chepes hitmen killed the journalist, on the orders of course of Chepe.
what's the model of that gun?
well at least the story of his murder got printed
EL CHEPE THAT ACTOR REALLY IMPRESS ME.. I HOPE HE DO MORE MOVIES OR SERIES
Journalist "Chepe?"
Chepe "yeah"
Journalists "Che pendejo"
Chepe (smokes him cuz he cant take a joke)
Javier Escuela from RDR series voice actor !
Crazy how I didn't know that 😭 and chepe gives me GTA 4 vibes idk why 😭
„Cu aaa, bonito“ 😂👌🏼
jajaja
grande Pêpê Rapazote, orgulho português.
Muy buen actor 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇴🇵🇹
From some sources, I read if in real life actually it was Pacho who stayed in NYC from Cali Cartel
Chepe is an All TIME GANSTA!!💣💣
He spotted him earlier and suspected he was listening in on his phone calls but thought he was just being paranoid
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.
I wish we had more Chepe in season 3, he was fucking awesome.
That laugh though.......
Chepe is not only an amazing actor, his real voice is just fucking so much different, it's *amazing*. This guy might not be a "Vincent Chase-movie star", but he's an amazing fucking actor.
Godfather reference
1:06 is that why javier escuella might like cubans?
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.
From facial expression the Don fellow doesn't intend to kill the journalist but he didn't have an option
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.
