A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

We had nothing to do with this.

Because, as you know, we don't like war.

Don't forget it.

Besides, all of our business is family business.

WELCOME TO CALI

From the start, my brother and I gave it our all.

And when we least expected it, the company grew.

Because the business is headed from heaven's branch

to the end of the world.

I assume that's why we're respected everywhere.

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION BASED ON THE CHARACTERS OF THE BOOK

EL CARTEL DE LOS SAPOS.

THE FACTS APPEARING HEREIN ARE A PRODUCT OF THE AUTHORS' IMAGINATIONS.

SOME SITUATIONS, BASED ON REAL FACTS,

HAVE BEEN MODIFIED AND ENHANCED FOR AN AUDIOVISUAL FORMAT.

You all look gorgeous.

-Thanks. -I'm so proud.

I love to see you like this.

Cris, more mascara. A lot more, let's see.

What's going on here, Pamela?

More red still. I see a little more here.

You're beautiful. There's something very important.

There you go.

This is something very important, don't move until I say the word.

-Okay? Understood? -Yes.

-Yes. -Oh, and one more thing. A little present.

What do you have this time?

Come closer, I'll show you.

-This... -I love it.

Wear it and don't take it off, please.

Okay? Here. This one, Pamela.

Angie, the gold one is for Angie. Who else needs one?

Perfect. Over here.

-I love it. -Let's see, Crystal.

-Ms. Constanza? -Luz.

There's a girl at the door asking for you.

I'll be there, thanks.

-Blondie, take over, okay? -Okay.

You're all looking gorgeous. I'll be right back.

Great. Beautiful.

You know that.

Ana Elvira? Nice to meet you. I'm Constanza.

-Hi, it's nice to meet you. How are you? -Very good. Come in, please.

-Thanks. -Thank you for coming.

I was finally able to escape the beauty contest,

but it won't be long before they look for me.

Don't worry, it won't take long.

Go to the studio, we'll chat, and afterwards, if you'd like,

I can send you back to the hotel again.

-Okay, perfect. -Come in.

-Have a seat. -Thanks.

Are you having a party or a meeting?

Exactly. It's an event with some very important guests.

Jorge, come here.

I need to see where you'll be located. There.

Behind these bushes.

Fix the camera, so everything comes out clear, okay?

Do you see us?

There.

Leave it framed like this so it's really in focus, okay?

Like this? Good. Edwin?

Come here. You'll be there.

There. Behind those bushes. Hide it well.

Go quickly, we don't have much time.

Okay.

Now? Like this?

Okay. Leave it focused there.

All right. There. Ready.

Well, listen and this goes for everyone. Stay focused.

We are about to start, I need a lot of discretion.

And you two, on my signal, go where I told you.

Ready, let's go.

Let's start the party.

I love this house.

-Do you like it? -Yes.

-The decorations, how it's set up. -That's great.

-What did you say your partner does? -Uriel.

Ana Elvira, Uriel is possibly

the most important and well-known journalist in the country.

Tell him I love his taste.

-I will. -It's really beautiful.

Thanks, that's great.

And what were you going to propose that you told me about over the phone?

Oh, well, I didn't really bring you here for that.

Rather, for something much better.

Another proposal.

What I really want is...

to give you a small gift from an admirer of yours.

Go ahead. I'll help you.

An admirer? What is it?

Oh, my God, Constanza.

-This dress is absolutely gorgeous. -And extremely expensive.

I can't imagine. I'm confused, though.

Who is this admirer?

Mr. Leonardo Villegas Ulloa.

-Oh! -Yes.

-No. -Was this the package that we bought?

This investment is strategic.

-What did you say? -An investment that we made there.

Look.

How's Nora? Have you spoken to her?

She's very sad, Dad.

We were with her all day today and I offered to help her

at the pharmacy.

Thanks, son. Keep helping her.

Look.

If you need anything, let me know, okay?

She doesn't want to talk to me anymore.

And Raquel isn't her same old self.

This family went downhill.

Well, I don't know if it went downhill, Uncle.

What's certain is that the war with Pablo has affected everyone.

It's better that you handle it in the best way possible.

We're resolving it.

Don't worry. We'll get past this soon.

Look!

-Look. -Pass it!

No, wait.

What do you mean offside? How?

-Man, how could he overturn it like that? -The referees are screwing us over.

Offside. Wait.

He got it quickly, at least.

What's up, Sandoval? I got the message.

Sir, everything is ready.

The car is ready. We're also ready, just say the word.

Go ahead, then.

Proceed.

And hopefully this will all end soon.

Men, you're going to Medellín.

You already have the instructions and radio frequency

to communicate with each other.

Is there a problem, Flaco?

No.

If you want me to do the return trip,

well, then, we'll give it our all. Right?

Very good, that's the attitude.

But drive carefully, okay?

Don't speed, the cargo is very delicate.

What? Are you going to stay? You're excused.

Leonardo asked me to give you a message.

He wants to invite you out.

And if your answer is yes,

the way to let him know is by wearing this dress

at the beauty gala show.

It's beautiful.

It's gorgeous but I don't know.

Isn't he...

Isn't he one of the most powerful drug traffickers in Cali?

Don't worry yourself with that. Leonardo is a businessman.

He's a very successful businessman.

If you date him, I can assure you that you'll wear dresses like this one.

A lot of them.

Besides, it'll look great on you.

Thanks.

I'm sure of it, but...

Now I understand why many people think

that Leonardo Villegas is just about money.

I won't deny it, he has a ton of money.

But he's also an interesting man,

an educated man,

an intelligent man with a good sense of humor,

chivalrous,

handsome.

But the best thing about him is that he's crazy about you.

You've captivated him.

Isn't he in prison?

We're working on that.

Hence tonight's meeting.

The government will be here.

That referee is an idiot.

This tie only favors the country folk.

Yes, since the referee is on Pablo's payroll,

he always screws us over and favors the powerful man.

What can you expect from Figueroa?

Do you know what? You'll need to do something to this man.

You're not serious, are you?

Do you see me smiling?

Okay.

Don't embarrass my nephew.

And don't take him so literally.

He's all talk and no action.

Well, I'm going home.

Bye, Uncle.

Take care.

-Bye, Dad. -Take care.

-See you later. -Bye, Pipe.

The Medellín event.

It's happening now.

Should I take the dress?

It's a gift, of course, regardless of your decision.

After all, you're the one who will decide whether to wear it or not.

Relax and think about it. There's no rush.

Now, there's something we need to be clear on.

Leonardo is only asking you to go out on one date.

Nothing else.

Ana Elvira, he would never force you to do something you don't want to do.

You can relax.

Come on, and...

Is Leonardo single?

No.

But between the two of us...

his marriage with his current wife...

doesn't have a future. It's over. It's not working, sadly.

Well, Connie, thank you so much...

-Can I call you Connie? -Of course.

Well, thank you for everything, but...

they're waiting for me at the event, I have to go now.

Don't worry, I'll ask them to take the dress.

-Okay. -Let's go.

It was great to meet you, you're much more beautiful in person.

-Thanks. -Take care.

Bye.

Flaco, how's it going?

No news. Everything's normal.

What's your position?

I just passed the Palmira highway tollbooth.

I think I'll be in Medellín by early morning.

Flaco, remember,

you need to leave the car very close to the building.

Distance yourself and detonate.

And then check whether the target was annihilated, okay?

Affirmative.

I'm on standby.

I think it's complicated. It's a complicated time.

Excuse me for a minute.

-What did they say? -Not a whole lot.

They're very elusive.

And scared.

The gringos are pressuring them from all sides

and nobody wants to be on Clinton's List.

Our founding fathers are popular there, right?

Well, we'll have to speak directly to the gringos then.

We'll have to.

And speaking of the king of Rome...

Good evening, sir.

-Good evening. -It's a very good evening.

Good evening. Thank you for accepting the invitation.

Thanks.

I'm happy to introduce you to Mr. Wilmer Villegas. A lawyer.

I know you.

You're the son of Emanuel Villegas Ulloa.

The Cali drug trafficker.

Mr. Roberto Allen, agent of the ADS.

Nice to meet you, Agent Allen.

You're partially right.

Just one thing you said is true.

Yes, I'm the son of Emanuel Villegas and the nephew of Leonardo Villegas.

I'm also a lawyer. A recent law graduate of your country, specifically.

I just returned from a trip there.

Are you going to tell me that you're not involved

in the shady family business?

I'm aware of the crimes my uncle Leonardo is accused of.

And I'm going to defend him so justice is served.

Oh, justice will be served once I take him to the United States

and this will be...

sooner than expected.

You seem very confident, Allen.

I am.

We're leaving because we don't like to be around criminals.

And I recommend you do the same, gentlemen.

Don't get involved in something you shouldn't.

Connie, come here.

An agent named Allen from the ADS just left.

And he shook up the hornet's nest.

We need to continue with the plan. Bring the girls, but now...

Okay, I'll talk to them, relax.

Okay.

How can you leave? The party has just begun.

Don't embarrass me.

Give me two minutes and I promise you this will get sorted out.

Listen up, gentlemen.

We'd like to give you a very special gift

before you leave and before the event ends.

A gift of appreciation for your presence here tonight.

Let's welcome these ladies

who will entertain us with a private show.

And they'll give you a little gift too.

Hi!

Thanks. How are you? It's great to have you here.

We'll put them here, do they all fit?

You were going to leave? How can you leave?

A lot of little gifts.

And you over here, all alone?

No.

So, Sandoval.

-Sir. -How's it going?

Good, everything is going as planned.

If everything continues like this and Flaco does what he needs to do,

we'll have good news tomorrow.

-Good. -You don't know how nice it would be

to see Pablo explode into pieces.

Let him feel the same way poor Fernando felt.

But triple that.

I'll call Bogotá and see what they're up to.

What's up, Dad? I'm glad you called.

Unbelievable, Agent Allen was here shaking up the hornet's nest

and he shared some information that worried us.

What?

What was it?

They're going to take Leonardo to the United States over the next few days.

-What? -Yes.

We haven't checked if the information is true,

but if it is...

things are going to get complicated.

So, now what?

What are we going to do?

We won't let them take my brother!

Dad, right now, we're playing our last card, understood?

That was a night the dinner guests would never forget,

but not just because of the overflow of beauty, sensuality and extravagance,

but because it would be recorded for future generations.

How did the video turn out?

It turned out very good, look.

You can recognize the guests' faces and that's the most important thing.

Well, now, what do we need to do?

Well, now...

we need to make copies of the video

and deliver them to all of the offices.

Oh, man.

I'm going to lose some friends

and make many enemies.

Uriel, do you regret what we're doing?

No, man. What are you thinking?

They deserve it.

We need to move quickly

because we don't know if Allen's threat is serious.

Good afternoon, reporting from Medellín.

Report.

I just arrived at the target location, but there's a lot of security.

Flaco, listen carefully, leave the car as close to the building as possible.

Well, gentlemen, I swear to God that I'll contact you later.

God, protect me.

We open this informative segment with a headline

or, rather, a rumor from the Palace of Nariño.

Apparently, Leonardo Villegas Ulloa and Jaime Olaya will be extradited,

and their transfer will take place over the next few hours.

Leonardo, is what they're saying true?

Are they going to extradite you today?

I don't know.

It doesn't seem like it.

A few copies will be left over.

I'm imagining the expression those men will have

when they see themselves in the leading role.

Hopefully, they won't have a heart attack.

A mini heart attack would be good to scare them.

Well, this is almost ready.

We just need to send them to the addresses we have, right?

-Lucho! -Sir?

Send the packages to these addresses.

Careful, Lucho, you can't mess up this delivery,

or we'll be screwed, understand?

Don't worry, sir.

Lucho.

Let's put this here.

Flaco?

Flaco, do you copy me?

That idiot Flaco better not have gotten caught...

All set, sir. It's done.

Is the explosion confirmed?

What, buddy?

A huge explosion was felt, did you hear me?

I think this building was completely destroyed, over.

Flaco.

Stay there until you confirm that Pablo is dead.

Yes, sir, Mr. Emanuel, you got it.

If Pablo was there, it won't take long for the news to confirm it.

...well-known drug trafficker Mr. Pablo

and his family.

At 5:15 in the morning, a vehicle loaded with dynamite exploded

on the west side of the building.

Moments later, several shots were heard.

No, I wasn't expecting this. Honestly, Leonardo.

I thought Wilmer was finally able to resolve all of this.

My problem isn't...

Wilmer.

My problem is Pablo.

Who started playing with fire.

And hurt our plans with the government.

Dad.

I came to tell you that...

I want to return to Madrid.

But, because of the situation, I'd rather stay with you.

For as long as it takes.

Thanks, honey.

Really, my love, thanks.

Pick it up. It might be important.

Hello?

Guli.

The job has been completed.

The bomb exploded. The building is completely destroyed.

We're just waiting for the confirmation that Pablo was there.

Oh, good.

Thanks for telling me.

-Who is it? -Michi.

Are you with someone?

Yes.

Adelita and Mayerly came to visit me.

Good.

-Well, then... What? -Listen to me.

We were listening to the radio.

They said my transfer is inevitable.

What do you know?

Look, I didn't want you to worry,

but Allen met with Wilmer and Uriel.

He told them a few things, Uriel was worried, he was looking into...

Yes. It's true.

I haven't heard from them today.

The idea is for them to iron out the legal matters.

Oh, okay.

Hello.

Hi, son, you didn't have breakfast and it's almost lunchtime.

Oh, well, I'll have lunch later, Grandma.

How did it go with the soccer team?

Not very good.

They stole the match from us.

Breaking news. Attention.

A strong explosion in the sector of El Poblado in Medellín just occurred.

The police and rescue teams are already at the crime scene

and, as you can see, the strong explosion caused damage

to the structure of the building and other surrounding buildings.

-Authorities haven't given a statement... -My virgin saint.

...but it's believed that the explosion was a car bomb.

Apparently, the attempt was directed at Mr. Pablo's family,

who, according to unconfirmed rumors, lives in the building.

Another huge bomb.

Do you think they have something...

Excuse me. I have to go out.

Yes.

Do you think Emanuel and Leonardo had anything to do with this?

Let's hope not.

Why the hell aren't they talking about Pablo?

Excuse me.

Mr. Emanuel.

It's Ms. Marlén.

Thanks, Gilma.

I just saw the news about the attempt in Medellín.

Yes, I also heard about it.

Wait.

Don't act dumb and tell me you had nothing to do with this.

We had nothing to do with this.

We're not like them, Mom.

I know, but with everything going on,

I don't know, I needed to ask and I want the truth.

And I'm giving it to you, Mom.

Look, that man in Medellín is very dangerous.

He has a lot of enemies. These things are normal.

Look. You need to understand

that if we were involved, everyone would be negatively affected.

I begged and asked you to call a truce,

so they wouldn't seek revenge and kill our family.

Look, Mom, it wasn't us.

But the man's wife and children are dead,

very dead.

We're here for Mr. Leonardo Villegas Ulloa.

Excuse me for a minute.

Director Jáurequi.

We have a situation.

Look, Cindy, this is the baby's discharge order.

Please give it to the nurse upon leaving.

Doc, any special recommendations?

Yes, it's very important to keep monitoring her.

So, please, bring her in every three days for a check-up.

If anything comes up before the appointment,

no matter what, come to the Emergency Room and ask them to call me.

I hope everything goes well with her.

Tito, can you please help me?

I'm going to the bathroom.

-Okay. -Just a minute, okay?

-I'll hold the baby. -No.

I'll go with the baby.

What a pity, Mr. Leonardo.

What happened? What's the secret?

What's with your expressions?

They came for you.

Let Michi know.

-Let's go. -Do you want me to help you?

Sandoval, do you copy me?

Flaco, what's up? What do you know about Pablo?

Man, what a mess, I don't think that guy was there.

The entire family just got to the hospital,

but there's no news about Pablo.

We couldn't mess this up, Sandoval.

Mr. Emanuel, if you give me the order, I'll go inside the hospital right now

and you know me, I'll light all of them up.

No, Flaco, don't get yourself killed.

His people will be watching them and I'm sure there are cops everywhere.

This opportunity went to shit.

No.

What happened?

They arrived at Villahermosa to take my brother to the United States.

Leonardo Villegas...

Ulloa.

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you in person.

We almost met in Madrid, did you know that?

Your plan didn't work.

And my country won.

I advised your attorney

that the U.S. government wasn't going to forget about extraditing you.

You and Olaya.

This happens to arrogant people

who believe they're more powerful than the United States of America.

Please, don't take my dad away.

When the cord is around their neck,

they always ask for compassion.

The transfer documents are ready and we're going.

Jáuregui.

Sign the departure papers, please.

-No, I'm sorry... -Sign the departure papers.

I'm sorry, but I need to read them first.

We have to follow protocol.

Read them, but sign them.

Look.

You should be very proud that you did your job well.

It's a pity I'm not a threat to Colombia

or to the United States.

Now you're going to say you're innocent?

I'm not Pablo. It's him you should prosecute.

Don't worry, Leonardo, Pablo's also on the list.

We're going to capture him too.

And we're going to extradite him like you.

If you don't kill him first.

Lord, I ask you for Pablo's family.

He might be a killer but his family isn't guilty of anything.

Please end this war. I don't know how much more we can take.

Please, Lord.

What?

What is it?

What happened?

Miss Cindy? Can I help you with something?

No, I don't need any help.

Where's my passport?

Your passport? I don't know. Did it get lost?

-It didn't get lost. -I'll help you look for it.

It didn't get lost. It was on the table. Did you take my passport, Blanca?

Give me back my passport.

How could I do something like that, Miss Cindy?

I didn't... I swear on my ancestors. How could I do something like that?

But I'll help you look for it.

I don't need your help.

-Miss Cindy... -I said leave.

We continue with the latest reports

that are coming in from the sector of El Poblado in Medellín,

where a car bomb exploded this morning.

The theory that the attempt was directed at Mr. Pablo and his family

is becoming more plausible.

In the early morning hours, a...

I'm sure my dad and uncle know about this.

I'm not even allowed to ask,

they'll give me the same answer as always.

They have no idea, who knows who it could be.

...in the streets, prisoners of the panic...

You might not be interested, Mom, but it matters a lot to me.

And I'm going to find out what's going on, no matter what.

Do me a favor. Don't meddle, okay?

Don't worry, the only thing I'm going to do is ask Wilmer

and see what he says.

All I know is that it looked suspicious with that meeting Uriel was setting up.

I don't know why but it seems like it's connected.

Raquelita, how many times have I told you? Leave the saints in peace, okay?

Look, Mom, we might not be in Cali,

but we're still interested in what goes on there

and with what happens in the country.

Let's go see Uriel instead.

We'll look into it there.

This can't be.

What happened?

A message just came in.

It seems like they're going to take my uncle.

And the videos? What happened?

-It seems like they didn't work. -Mr. Uriel?

Miss Raquel and Mrs. Rosario are here.

Did you know about the car bomb that exploded in Medellín?

Was that my dad's order, Wilmer?

Car bomb? What are you talking about?

Look, Raquel, stop causing problems, okay?

I'm begging you, please.

Right now, we're worried about your uncle Leonardo's extradition.

We just got a message saying it's now in effect.

They're going to extra-- They're probably removing him from prison now.

So, I don't know what car bomb you're talking about.

Mr. Emanuel, you must stay here.

My brother isn't here. Why are you bringing me here?

Why are you bringing me here? I need to see my brother.

I'm sorry, Mr. Emanuel, a situation came up.

You can't see him right now.

-Stop messing around... -I want to see my son.

-Michi, what happened? -Look, Emanuel is here.

Where is your brother? Don't tell me they took him.

No, they don't want me to see him.

I need to see my son!

It's impossible right now. Please understand, Mr. Emanuel.

-Do you know who you're dealing with? -What's going on?

-Do you know? -I'm on your side.

If you don't get out of here, you'll see. Get out!

-Get out! -Michi!

But why are they doing it this way?

Everything last minute.

Do you know if there's any possibility

this extradition law could be rendered invalid?

Yes.

There's still a possibility.

Due to an error in the amendment of the law.

Yes, Wilmer, but I don't think the justices would risk

making a mistake in front of the country.

And especially for those gringos. I don't know what can be done now.

Oh, poor Leo.

This is what I saw when I read him the tarot cards in prison.

A one-way trip.

Hello.

Yes, it's me.

Yes, tell me.

NO TO EXTRADITION

Please speak slowly.

Okay.

And the Cali judge knows it?

Perfect.

There it is.

Thank you.

Handcuffs.

No.

Mayerly, don't worry. Calm down.

Mr. Emanuel, I beg you, please, you're going to get me in trouble.

Let us pass.

No, you're not going to take my son.

I'm sorry.

Order, please!

Emanuel Villegas.
