Blow
Blow
The film opens to a young George and his parents Fred and Ermine of Weymouth, Massachusetts.
When George is 10 years old, Fred files for bankruptcy and loses everything,
but tries to make George realize that money is not important.
As an adult, George moves to Southern California with his friend "Tuna";
they meet Barbara, an airline stewardess, who introduces them to Derek Foreal, the main dealer.
With Derek's help, George and Tuna make a lot of money.
Kevin Dulli visits them and tells them of the enormous market for pot in Boston.
With Barbara's help, they start bringing the drugs to Boston.
As the demand grows, they decide to start buying the drugs directly from Mexico
with the help of a few minor Mexican drug lords.
But two years later, George is caught in Chicago
trying to import 660 pounds of marijuana and is sentenced to two years.
After unsuccessfully trying to plead his innocence, George skips bail to take care of Barbara,
who is suffering from, and eventually succumbs to, cancer.
While hiding from the authorities, George visits his parents back in New England.
While he is having a heart-to-heart talk with his father, George's mother calls the police,
who come and arrest him.
George is now sentenced to 26 months in a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut.
His cellmate Diego Delgado has contacts in the Medellín cocaine cartel
and convinces George to help him go into business.
Upon his release from prison, George violates his parole conditions
and heads down to Cartagena, Colombia to meet up with Diego.
They meet with cartel officer Cesar Rosa to negotiate the terms
for smuggling 15 kilograms to establish "good faith".
As the smuggling operation grows, Diego gets arrested, leaving George to find a way
to sell 50 kg (110 lb) and get the money in time.
George reconnects with Derek in California,
and the two successfully sell all 50 kg in 36 hours, amassing a $1.35 million profit.
George is then whisked off to Medellín, Colombia,
where he finally meets the group's leader, Pablo Escobar,
who agrees to go into business with them.
With the help of main middleman Derek, the pair becomes Escobar's top US importer.
However, Diego resents George for keeping Derek's identity secret
and pressures George to reveal his connection.
George eventually discovers that Diego has betrayed him
by cutting him out of the connection with Derek.
Inspired by the birth of his daughter and chastened by a subsequent drug-related heart attack,
George severs his relationship with the cartel and vows to leave the drug business forever.
All goes well with George's newfound civilian life for five years,
until his wife Mirtha organizes a 38th birthday party for him.
Many of his former drug associates attend, including Derek,
who reveals that Diego eventually cut him out as well.
The FBI raids the party and arrest George.
Following George's conviction, he becomes a fugitive.
His bank account — heretofore under Manuel Noriega's protection in Panama — is seized.
One night, he and Mirtha get into a fight while driving.
They are pulled over by police and Mirtha tells them Jung is a fugitive
and has stashed a kilogram of cocaine in his trunk.
He is sent to jail for three years, during which time Mirtha divorces him
and takes custody of their nine-year-old daughter, Kristina Sunshine Jung.
Upon his release, George finds himself struggling
to keep his relationship with his daughter on good terms.
George promises Kristina a vacation in California
and seeks one last deal to garner enough money for the trip.
George completes a deal with former accomplices but learns too late
that the deal had been set up by the FBI and DEA, with Dulli and Derek having leaked the nature
and location of the action in exchange for pardons for their involvement in his prior action.
George is sentenced to 60 years at Otisville Correctional Facility in upstate New York.
He explains in the end that neither the sentence nor the betrayal bothered him,
but that he can never forgive himself for having to break a promise to his daughter.
While in prison, George requests a furlough to see his dying father, Fred.
His unforgiving mother denies the request, saying a visit would only upset Fred.
George is given a tape recorder to record a final message to his father.
In the message, George recounts his memories of working with his father,
his run-ins with the law, and finally, too late, his understanding of what Fred meant
when he said that money is not "real".
The film closes with George as an old man in prison,
imagining that his daughter finally comes to visit him.
She slowly fades away as a guard calls for George.
The film concludes with notes indicating that Jung's sentence will not expire until 2015,
and that his daughter has yet to visit him.
The film's final image is a photograph of the actual George Jung.
