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.

Rosenblatt.

What?

Does it ring a bell? Does it tell you something?

No, why?

It's what I saw in my vision.

It's what I saw with Adelita's things.

It sounds like...

German.

Maybe it has something to do with the German?

Maybe it's his last name?

I don't know.

Maybe Leonardo and them know.

Nubia, bring the phone!

Maybe they know?

You never know.

What is it again?

-Rosenblatt. -Rosenblatt.

Hello.

Nacho, it's Marlén. We have information.

So what, W? Do we have eyes on Sabina's house?

The boys have been keeping an eye out, but no one's been there.

Well, hurry, we better get there before they do.

SABINA'S HOUSE - MEDELLÍN

Ready, sir.

Did Sabina think we wouldn't notice the bullshit he pulled?

He screwed up big time.

He can head a ball, but this time, he didn't use his head right.

He and his wife are in trouble.

Go through Las Palmas. Be vigilant.

Las Palmas. Stay alert.

See, sweetie? They're here. Finally.

Who is it?

Who?

I said, "Who is it?"

Jaime Sandoval, I'm picking you up.

God bless. My nerves were killing me.

You've got me all stressed out.

Come in, please.

Hello, gentlemen. Oh, that's good.

There's the bags, you can pick them up and we can leave, shall we?

No, Cristina, not yet.

I need you to lock yourself up in your room.

What? No. No way.

Cristina, do it, now.

-In that case, I'll call Pedro. -There's no time for calls.

Lock yourself up. Now.

Go.

César, the yard. Jesús, come.

Unplug the phones.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Come in.

-Hello, gentlemen. -What's up?

Fabián, tell me what we're doing here.

It's too long of a story to tell.

But I'm telling you, everything will be okay.

Fabi, I don't understand.

What's happening, man?

Look, we had an inconvenience.

-Where the hell are we? -I don't know.

Unfortunately, the news of the transfer to the Pan American was leaked.

-Stop, man, it was... -No, I'm sorry.

We don't know how they found out.

-But, let's go... -Stop.

This won't be an issue for bringing Cristina, right?

I'm sure it won't.

Sandoval is the most efficient guy I know.

Don't worry. Let's go.

-Don't push me. -Walk, please.

-Stay calm. -Stop, man!

You're speaking to a Villegas, calm down.

So, pal...

Tell me, don't waste any more of my time.

Adelaida Villegas.

Where is she?

At her mother's house.

You better tell me.

Fuck you, fag.

Okay, then.

Let's continue.

No.

No!

No!

No!

Stop, you motherfucker!

Botellas left a while back to get Sabina's wife.

He's probably got her already.

Good, I'll send someone to get her.

Let's see what that argie fag has to say in his defense.

Yes, Pablo, but remember to take it slow.

We need that man to keep playing.

We're playing the Libertadores Cup next year and we need him.

Yes, that's true, but we gotta scare them good.

So, on another topic,

what happened with that job with Adelaida and Hugo de la Cruz?

The Cali men didn't do anything.

They're trying to buy time.

What the fuck for?

I don't know and I don't care.

They better not say we didn't cooperate

so they could rescue the hottie.

Over and out.

Here, man.

Well, for my special guests...

I repeat. Adelaida Villegas, where is she?

Fuck you, fag.

We can be here all day...

but in the end...

that bitch, Leonardo's daughter, is gonna die.

So, go ahead.

Do it!

And in sports, a surprise signing of striker Pedro Sabina.

The Argentinian player who played for Medellín's Powerful

decided to trade in his jersey to be Pan American's number ten.

The renowned player will still do his magic in Colombian stadiums,

but this time, his home will be the "Pascual."

The Villegases bought Sabina?

Big blow for the people of Medellín.

Breaking news.

Adelaida Villegas, 19, is missing.

She was last seen in northern Cali, heading to Palmira.

If you know her whereabouts, please contact the emergency line.

Any information will be rewarded.

This is awful, Uriel.

I'm shocked by the news.

I can't believe it's about Adelaida.

This won't end well.

Pablo's not ineffectual.

If he wants to punish Leonardo, he's capable of killing her.

Mr. Uriel.

Ms. Ana Elvira is here.

She's asking about Ms. Constanza.

Thank you.

I didn't know she'd come.

LA ERMITA FUNERAL HOME - CALI

Hello.

Sandoval, any news?

Sir, we're at Sabina's house.

We have both hitmen, of course, one is dead already.

Good. Did you find out where my daughter is?

No, sir, but the other one says she's alive.

We don't know her location.

So, what are you waiting for to make him talk?

Pull his fingernails off, make him talk.

Yes, he's been in treatment for a while,

but he won't talk.

I'm afraid that if we keep pressuring him...

he won't make it.

Listen.

If he's being stubborn, you gotta change your strategy.

Perfect, sir.

Sandoval, one last thing.

We got a lead that might help you, okay?

The word Rosenblatt.

Rose petal?

-Is that what it means? -In which language?

Yes, sir. In German.

Look, Sandoval, let's do something.

Mention that word to him, "Rosenblatt." Okay?

As if you know what it's about.

And let's see how he reacts.

Got it, sir.

Apparently, she was kidnapped in Cali.

There's no news of her.

It's likely she's being held by the Medellín people.

Medellín?

Pablo?

Yes.

No wonder Leonardo ran off like a madman.

Look, I figured it was serious,

but not this serious.

Me neither.

Well...

If I could do something for him right now,

I wouldn't hesitate.

Why don't you page him?

I'm sure he'll appreciate the message.

You think that's smart?

Of course.

I HEARD ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER. I'M SO SORRY.

PRAYING FOR A GOOD OUTCOME.

I'M THINKING OF YOU. - ANA

I'd be worried if I were you. We know about Rosenblatt.

If you know about the estate...

why haven't you killed me yet?

Because we want you to take us there.

Here.

What's that for?

An incentive for you.

This is the deal.

Either I break your kneecaps,

or you take the 500,000 bucks and walk free.

Just take us to the estate.

You have ten seconds to decide.

Ten, nine...

eight, seven...

six, five...

What's going on? I don't get it.

Me neither, I'm as confused as you.

These assholes are doing something behind our backs.

I gotta get out of here, excuse me.

-Pedro. -You better sit, champion.

Do as I say.

I can't leave?

-Pedro. -What?

You'll get all the information you need soon, sit.

Soon? That doesn't work for me!

I need to know where my wife is! You piece of shit.

I'll only repeat this one time.

Asshole... sit down.

Pedro.

You knew about this.

Hello? What's up, Sandoval? What happened?

Sandoval, what happened? Talk.

All good, sir.

He told us Rosenblatt is the German's estate.

Good!

And the other thing?

Good, he chose the money and is taking us there.

That's it!

How far away are you?

Two hours, he says.

-We'll meet Pablo's deadline. -Yes.

Go, right away.

Cover him.

Cristina, calm down.

Relax, listen.

Listen, calm down.

You'll go to Cali with one of my men.

You're going through land, but you gotta leave now. Listen.

-Is my husband outside? -Sit.

-No, wait here. -Please.

Sit, please.

Bring the cars, cover everything.

We gotta load everything in the garage, let's go.

Right.

Okay.

I'll tell them.

Kisses, honey.

What?

What did Emanuel say?

Did he say anything? The name you saw in your arm?

It's the German's estate.

It's where they have Adelita.

Oh my God.

Do you know how to get there?

Emanuel said Sandoval and his men are on their way.

They'll rescue her.

Stay calm, Mayerly.

God, don't let anything happen to Adelita.

Stay calm.

Botellas, where is it?

Down there, to the left.

You can see the house there.

Where's Adelaida?

Do you see that guard there? He's the one assigned to her.

-How many guards are there? -Quite a few.

How many?

Around ten, or maybe more, but they're all armed.

Alpha one, do you copy?

Sandoval, what's the situation? Over.

Mr. Leonardo, we've got a visual on the house.

Seems like Ms. Adelaida is alive.

We have a problem, though.

The house is heavily guarded.

If we go in now, they'll wipe us out.

Besides, there's a party.

And we need backup.

How do you suggest we get backup in less than five minutes?

Over.

I think we have to call the cops.

Listen.

Explain that, we're really confused. Over.

Sir, I know someone in the police.

Colonel Gutiérrez.

I think he can help us.

He's from Cali, but I've been told he's in the area now.

Can we trust him? Over.

I think so, sir.

Do it.

Over and out.

Gentlemen, let's go.

That's how Colonel Ramiro Gutiérrez

started his relationship with the Cali cartel.

An officer of loose morals

who had an obsession with money and power.

So, sensing he'd be better off with the Villegas family on his side,

the colonel immediately agreed to help with Adelaida's rescue.

Sandoval.

Please, repeat the data you gave me on the phone.

Las Margaritas Street, seven miles from town.

You'll see some cars outside.

Have you confirmed the girl's location?

It's confirmed.

Okay. We're almost there.

Take him to the car.

Ready, Gómez?

Ready, yeah?

-Oh, honey. -What's up, Mom?

-Say hi to your grandma. -Hi, sweetie.

-It's good to see you, honey. -I've missed you.

-I know. -What do you know of the girl?

Nothing, honey.

This is awful, we didn't sleep a wink.

I can imagine.

How are you? How's it going?

-Hi. -Hello.

I've been asking Our Lord of Miracles to help us, honey.

He's abandoned us.

No, dear, don't say that, you'll see.

Let's go.

Mamacita, don't lose faith, honey.

I went back to Our Lord of Miracles

to ask him to protect the girl, so we'd have her back soon.

Blanquita, it's Wilmer. Put Cindy on.

Ms. Cindy, it's Mr. Wilmer.

-Go. -At your service.

Ask him about my girl.

What's up, blondie? It's me.

I'm being asked if you know anything about...

-Adelaida. -Adelaida.

No, not yet.

No. I'm sorry, he doesn't know anything.

How are you?

I'm sorry I couldn't call,

but with this Adelaida situation, things are pretty fucked up.

Yes, I get it. It's awful she was kidnapped.

Hopefully this will get solved soon and we can rescue her.

Yes, I hope so.

She's always been nice to me

and I don't want her to be hurt.

When can I see you again?

I don't know, blondie.

I'm dying for a repeat too.

But we have to solve this issue with my sis first.

And at this rate...

we'll have to pray to the Lord so it won't end in tragedy.

I gotta go.

But rest assured,

we'll see each other soon and have another session

like the one in the truck.

Bye, many kisses.

Hey, who were you talking to?

What?

-You scared me. -Oh.

I'm sorry, dear.

But answer me. Who were you talking to?

Wilmer.

Are you sure?

Wasn't it Fabián?

Fabián? Why Fabián?

I'm gonna go feed the baby. Excuse me, Fabiola.

-Colonel Gutiérrez. -Sandoval.

I'm glad you came.

Now, proceed over there. Proceed, fast.

Go.

How could we miss this chance to help?

Describe the situation to me.

Botellas, the Medellín hitman guiding us,

says the hostage girl must be here, in the back,

in one of the rooms.

Did you go over the estate's security detail?

Ten heavily armed men.

But we gotta be careful, it's full of people.

They partied last night.

I'd like to propose going in together, Colonel.

We'll take care of the girl.

Guevara.

Yes, Colonel?

We're going in five lines, from there down, in a triangular position.

Understood?

You'll circle the estate and take care of the guards,

they'll take care of the girl.

Careful. I don't want bloodshed,

there are some people who partied there last night.

-Are we clear? -Yes, Colonel.

Ademar, I'll go up in the meantime.

We'll go through the back with the group.

Got it, Colonel.

-Let's go. -You know what to do.

What's wrong, sweetheart? Relax.

-No. -There he is.

Pedro.

Oh, honey!

-How are you? Tell me. -Honey.

It was awful. What happened?

Did these assholes hurt you?

No, Sandoval got to the house, the man you said would pick me up,

he came with those two men, and they started doing things

and locked me up in a room, according to them, for my safety.

That's not all, two men arrived later,

and I don't know what happened,

but they started torturing them,

and when I came down, I saw blood everywhere.

Okay. Let's calm down.

Don't exaggerate, sweetheart.

I can explain this.

This was part of a plan...

Right, the plan to rescue your sister,

that Villegas girl, whatever, dude.

Sure.

And you, asshole, didn't care about risking my wife's life.

No, our security head informed us she was always safe.

You're an ass.

Can't you see you put my wife in danger?

Okay, enough! Enough!

Let's calm down.

Enough. We're leaving.

I propose we relax a little...

and you go rest at the hotel.

Spare no expense, the Pan American's paying.

We're not staying. Come here.

Look, Pedro. We agreed you'd close the deal.

What deal? Getting killed?

Can't you see she could have died?

We're not staying.

Pedro, relax, look.

The Villegases and their organization will follow the agreement

and take care of your safety.

You think what happened to her is safe?

We're leaving. It's a country of madmen. Of murderers!

Okay.

Let them go, they'll get over it.

Ugh, fuck.

Boss, it's Mr. Pablo, he says it's urgent.

Okay.

What's up, Pablo?

German, where the fuck is Botellas?

He never showed up with Sabina's wife. Is he with you?

No, no idea. I've just got up,

I haven't seen the asshole yet.

Careful, what if he got caught and he's talking?

I'd get out of that estate if I were you.

No, what do you mean?

What am I supposed to do with Leonardo's daughter?

Go ahead and kill her, we weren't going to return her alive anyway.

Son of a bitch.

North guard neutralized.

Sandoval. Keep the radio open.

Fierro, radio.

We're on the south side, we're going in.

Okay, one by one.

-There's no one here. -Sure?

Here she is.

Bring something to cover her, report back.

Alpha, do you copy?

Did you find my daughter? Over.

Affirmative, sir, we're bringing her out.

Come to Cali immediately.

Don't stay anywhere in Antioquia.

I want you here now.

Stay still, buddy, party's over.

Allow me.

Calm down, it's okay.

Man, Colonel!

If I had known you were coming,

I'd have organized a welcome party.

Come, let's have a drink.

Let's talk about everything, my treat.

The party ends in jail. Take him. Come on, Guevara.

Tell me you killed the German. Over.

Captured, sir.

Upstairs, I have...

a suitcase, if you wanna pay the boys.

Don't let the party end!

Let's keep partying!

We did it, Guli.

We did it, brother.

Hey, Dad. We gotta call Grandma, tell her.

Give me that.

Hello?

What's up, honey? What happened?

They rescued her.

Oh, they rescued her!

I can't believe it! I'll see my girl!

Sandoval is taking her to Cali.

Tell the rest, okay?

-Mayerly, they're coming! -Marlén, I can't believe it!

She's on her way, they're bringing her.

Honey, your sister. Come here.

They rescued your sister, my God, thank you.

They found her, she's okay.

I can't believe it, Mommy. That's good news, thank God.

I'm so glad for Adelita.

Oh, yes. She's on her way here.

I hope nothing happened to her.

Thanks for letting me know.

Mr. Yesid.

Yes, Raquel.

I wanted to let you know my cousin Raquel was just released.

Thank you for your help.

We can remove all those ads we put up.

Raquel, I'm so glad. Is she okay?

Well, yeah. As far as I know. My family hasn't seen her yet.

She's now being brought to Cali.

Was she released by her captors or was she rescued?

They rescued her from the German's estate. He was just captured.

Raquel!

That's big news, and you've got the scoop.

You think you can get more information?

Well, yeah. Yes, Mr. Yesid, I think so.

Raquel, write a piece as soon as possible,

before the competition finds out.

This is real news.

And you're an excellent journalist.

Everything went okay, right?

I saw you caught the German.

So, I'll take that money you offered

and I'll deal on my own, all good.

Buddy, that's not happening.

The colonel needs to talk to you.

What? Are you gonna arrest me or what?

You and I are going to Cali.

We can go eat chola or go to Pance, and you can tell me all about Pablo.

Okay?

Well, that wasn't the deal.

That wasn't the deal.

Deal. Fierro, did I sign a deal with the gentleman?

-No, right? Take him. -That wasn't the deal, man. Hey!

Hey, man!

Whiny Antioquian.

Colonel Gutiérrez, thank you.

My bosses will send you a... thank you gift.

Oh, Sandoval. You know I'm here to help, at your orders,

and I hope it's not the last time.

Thank you.

Gentlemen, bring the car.

Let's go, command! Vera!

You watch over these men.

That Sandoval is like Rambo.

He's skilled.

-Nacho. -What's up?

Come here.

Can you take care of Colonel Gutiérrez?

Of course.

Sure, I'll take care of it.

I'll tip him.

Set him up for the future.

He's one of us now.

You can count on it. On my way.

Oh, fuck.

What is it?

Nothing. Seems like Soler can't handle the Pan American's management.

There was a problem with Sabina and I must go.

Well, go.

Calm the waters.

Fabián...

No one can know we used Sabina and his wife to find Adelaida.

I'd be screwed with the Federation.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Excuse me.

What's wrong?

May they have hurt my daughter?

They'd better not.

...Rosenblatt estate.

Okay.

Where did you get that scoop?

I've got my sources.

Obviously.

Do you need anything?

Breaking news. National Police

scored a big win this morning

with the capture of Cristian Lampert, AKA the German,

one of the Extraditables, that was in his estate in Antioquia.

I just spoke to Sabina and his manager.

They told me about Medellín.

They're furious.

-As they should be. -Well, calm them down.

What do you get paid for?

No, that's not what I get paid for.

What happened is serious, Fabián.

Sabina's breaking off all negotiations.

He wants nothing to do with Colombia.

Right now, he must be at the airport to fly back to Buenos Aires.

No. Fuck that.

He has to stick to the agreement.

If he said he was playing for us,

he's playing for us.

Listen, Fabián.

How are we gonna make him?

With a gun to his head,

like everything else gets done here?

Calm down, man. What are you talking about?

Get a grip if you don't want problems with us.

No, don't worry about me.

You two don't have to worry about me.

Because I won't do things this way.

I do things differently.

I won't expose myself to getting killed.

So, you know what? I quit.

I'm out of here.

Don't worry about that.

And you know what, Fabián?

Look, you have the whole desk for yourself.

Soler, you can go if you want, I don't give a shit.

But I suggest you don't say anything about what happened.

Because if someone finds out, we'll know who the snitch is.

Got it?

Your plant.

Beware.

See, Flaco?

This all seems to be working in my favor.

Oh, dear. Bless the Lord, the girl was rescued.

-Yes, ma'am. -Dear.

What's up, Rosario?

How's the princess of the house?

How are you, sweetie?

Congratulations, Dad. I'm glad you got it done.

-Thanks, son. -When is she getting here?

-I couldn't tell you. -And you?

Did you lose anyone?

Who are you looking for?

And you?

You don't seem happy about Adelaida's return.

Of course I'm happy about my daughter's return.

I almost died with her there.

But I can't stop worrying about what's coming.

What's coming?

Listen, Leonardo.

We don't know what they did to our girl while she was kidnapped.

That'll change her life.

Quiet!

Let's go, honey.

Come on.

What's up, Hugo? How's it going?

Going to Bear Mountain a lot?

I wanna go back to Cali.

I saw on the news that the German was captured.

You rescued Adelaida?

Yes.

Seems like she's mostly okay.

I'm glad to hear that. See how was I right about what I said?

Turning myself in to Pablo wasn't a solution.

It would have been a senseless death.

And Adelaida would have gotten killed.

I know. Maybe, no... I won't deny that.

It was fucked of Leonardo

to have almost thrown me into the lion's den.

Look, Huguito.

I'd rather not comment on that.

But what I will say

is that things with the brothers aren't good, they're bad.

For them, you abandoned ship.

You see?

Oh, fuck.

So, I think you better stay in New York.

For a season.

Things are complicated here.

Stay cool and I'll take care of our business.

The banana business with the boys.

But stay there, calm, relaxed.

To avoid any problems, you know.

Adelaida, sweet--

Honey.

Sweetie.

Sweetie.

Come here, okay?

Darling.

First things first, sweetie. Come, so the doctor can do a check up.

Let's go.

Mom is here.

Sandoval.

Thank you for saving her.

No, Mr. Leonardo, don't thank me.

It was your plan.

My God.

I only did what I had to do.

Come on.

Now, if you allow me, I'm gonna go to the meeting

with Mr. Nacho and Colonel Gutiérrez.

Yes, go ahead.

-Thank you. -Come on, honey.

Deep breath.

Again.

Okay, I'm not noticing anything serious.

But, tell me, does anything hurt or bother you?

I'll inject a painkiller anyway, okay?

Sweetie...

Uh...

Adelita, look.

What your mom wants to ask

is if anyone forced you to have sexual relations.
