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.

Hello.

How are you, Grandma? It's Wilmer. Do me a favor.

Put Cindy on.

Hello, dear, no. Cindy left for work already.

What?

What do you mean "work"?

Cindy didn't mention she's working at the Pan American?

She's working with Fabián.

With Fabián?

No, she didn't mention it.

I've been all over the place lately,

with the meeting and all.

We haven't talked much.

Is the baby with you, or what?

Yes, dear.

Yes, the baby's with me.

Actually, it's time for her bottle now,

so I gotta go. Talk to you later.

Okay, take care.

Fabián.

Hello, Wil.

Hello, Connie.

What's wrong?

Just a bad feeling.

About?

-Where are you going? -Cali.

DAILY NEWS STUDIO - BOGOTÁ

What do you think about César Gaviria

running for president with New Liberalism?

-Not bad. -I like it.

We gotta ask Raquel to talk to her family

so Gaviria won't end up like Galán, right?

I've got nothing to talk about with my family

because they had nothing to do with that murder.

Get it through your head, Solange.

The Pan American is changing.

We want class A players on the team.

Excuse me.

Here's coffee.

I'm sorry, Fabián, but the players I represent

are no longer available.

We're getting many offers from Europe

and negotiations are ongoing.

I can offer you double.

Don't waste my time.

We'd be talking about a lot of money.

Money I'm willing to pay.

I'm sorry, but honestly, I find it strange

that a Colombian team has this much money.

What's that?

A gift for you, independently of what we agree on

in the contract. It's just so you know

that I'm serious.

All good. In that case, we can think about it, why not?

Don't think about it too much.

We have money here at the Pan American.

Peralta.

I wanted to ask if I can work with the reporting team.

Why's that?

Honestly, the atmosphere here, at the office, isn't the best.

I'd like to work outside.

If that's what you really want,

it's fine by me.

Give me a minute.

Mariela.

I wanted to let you know that, from this moment,

Raquel will be joining the reporting team.

And please,

start assigning her stories to cover.

No, that's great. Perfect. Deal.

Raquel, you can go

right away to Galán's campaign headquarters to cover

César Gaviria's candidacy's announcement.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Look.

Your favorite.

-Thank you. -Bolognese.

Enjoy.

You seem happy, huh?

It's just, I talked to my dad

and he said I can go live in Cali.

I just have to organize the trip with my mom.

Nico, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Why?

When the time comes, your mom will tell you.

Ms. Adelaida.

I'm going out. I won't be long. Don't leave.

Where are you going?

I have work to do. I'll be back.

No, that case is in the bag.

Of course, it's a done deal, man.

-Okay, have a good one. Later. -See you.

Counselor!

Gatillo.

What are you doing here?

I think you know, right? Walk to my car.

Didn't you hear me?

Look, man, if this is about Mrs. Mayerly...

You don't owe me any explanations.

You'll have to explain to the boss, okay?

-Hello? -What's up? Done?

Yeah, I'm here

with him, I'll put him on.

-Hello. -Iriarte!

Tell me

what the fuck you were talking about

with my wife behind my back.

Mr. Leonardo, I'm so sorry about all of this.

Mrs. Mayerly

got in touch with me a few days ago.

She wanted my advice on the divorce issue.

But she said you were aware,

that you had authorized it.

And you couldn't call to check if it was true?

I didn't think she was lying.

Shut up.

You're a fuck-up.

You're gonna tell me, in great detail,

what the fuck you and Mayerly talked about.

Yes, sir.

Uh, Mrs. Mayerly wants a divorce.

And she wants half your assets.

Including everything in Madrid.

She also wants full custody

of Nicolás.

What? Did that bitch lose her mind?

No, I told her not to

go overboard, but it was impossible, sir.

Stop talking.

You were conspiring with her.

Deny it. How much did they offer?

How much money?

No, sir.

I swear on my mother that didn't happen.

I don't care about that.

Look, Mr. Iriarte,

let me remind you that you're my lawyer, not Mayerly's.

-Huh? -Yes, sir.

It's very clear.

With that in mind,

I'm gonna dictate, point by point,

how my divorce from Mayerly is gonna go. Listen up.

Here, this one.

Walter?

Are you Walter?

-Yes. -How are you? I'm Raquel.

Oh, hello!

-How are you? -Nice to meet you.

My pleasure. I hadn't seen you before, are you new?

No, I was at the office, but I got bored,

and asked to be moved to reporting.

Good call, this is

where the excitement lies.

But I warn you,

the job is not as easy as you would think.

You have to be willing to go anywhere

to get the scoop.

Did Mr. Yesid tell you we're going to Galán's headquarters?

Yeah, what happened was awful, huh?

-Come in. -I can sit in the front.

-If you don't mind. -No.

-Not at all. Get in. -I'll help you here.

-Don't worry, I'll close it. -I don't know how to.

These vehicles, my God.

Oh, no. With love, with care.

We can stay out for up to three days. Look, it's so big.

Wait, that's it.

Now we're ready.

Okay, we're leaving.

The Villegases have all kinds of businesses, and go figure,

such a coincidence,

the American ended up here, working with you.

What can I do?

The American likes soccer.

Yeah, she looks like a hooligan, huh?

With those legs, she could be a cheerleader.

Fabián.

Just admit you're having an affair.

Okay, I admit it. We've been getting to know each other.

A lot. What's wrong with that?

I'm just asking because I want to know

if you're just messing around

or if you'll steal her from Wilmer with the baby and all.

Flaco, relax. There's no wedding bells here.

The American and I are having fun.

The same way my cousin is with Constanza,

the one with the college girls.

Fabián.

Think about it carefully.

This can all go sideways.

It hasn't so far.

Talk to you later. I gotta pick up Mrs. Rosario.

Seems like something happened.

Fabián.

I'm serious.

I'm serious, Fabián.

Talk later.

Alpha 1.

The search block is ten minutes away

from the target, over.

Delta 1, you copy?

Delta 1 here, copy, over.

What are your coordinates? Over.

We're south of the target, over.

Police force

ten minutes away southeast, over.

Are they bringing the big guns?

Negative.

They've got orders to capture the target alive.

Alpha, that's a fucking mistake.

We need to go in strong or he might get away.

This place is too big.

I agree, but there's no convincing them.

Tell them Leonardo's plan.

Delta 1, we suggest a course of action.

Copy.

Wait for the police to block the conventional exits.

After that, you and Beta 1 go in, search, and take the target down.

-Over. -Okay.

We'll do that, then. I'll be on QAP.

Boys! Pay attention!

Let's get ready,

we're gonna have to leave soon!

Ready up!

Beta 1, ready to go on my orders as Delta 1's support.

Watch for the block's forces. Five minutes out southeast.

Coordinate with Delta 1, channel three.

R, copy.

Let's go. Let's go.

Base, Eagle 1, we're in position.

Be very careful

with who you shoot.

Go, move.

Let's go.

Find cover!

It's on, boys, it's on.

Go over there, the rest stay here, with me. Fast!

Beta,

cover us, we're going in. I repeat.

R, let's go!

Going in, let's go.

Hey! Cover me!

They spotted us

and are shooting at us.

Delta 1 and Beta 1 going in

-from the south. -What happened?

The estate's guards

spotted them. There's a shoot-out.

Beta 1.

Fuck, Delta 3! Any visuals on the target?

QAP, bikes going north.

They're running away on bikes.

It appears Pablo's with the group. I repeat.

It appears Pablo's with the group.

He's there?

Apparently so.

Hello.

Hello, Ana, how are you?

-I wasn't expecting you. -Something wrong?

No, a deal I have with Michi

may fall through. Sit down.

Just so you know, I've been talking

to my lawyer in Madrid.

He's already working

on my divorce from Mayerly. I hope it doesn't take

too long.

Okay.

Is that okay?

Yes, it's just... look.

A divorce is not easy for anyone, you know?

I don't know Mayerly, but I don't wish her ill.

I understand perfectly well.

You're such a sweet woman.

That's what made me fall for you.

Truly. You're such a good person.

It's a hard thing to find.

Leonardo, if we're starting something,

I don't want to feel guilty

because a family won't be together anymore.

Let me make something clear.

You're not to blame for my divorce.

This has been brewing for a long time.

What I can tell you is

that I'm hopeful about our future.

Me too.

You want to go to Cali?

What do you mean Gatillo left? He didn't say where?

No, he said we should stay in the house,

that he had work to do.

That's weird.

-Hello! -Speak of the devil.

Why are you together?

Talk.

Mrs. Mayerly.

Forgive me, but I have a message from Mr. Leonardo.

I won't be able

to represent you in the divorce claim.

You told Leonardo, huh? You snitch.

Mr. Leonardo

asked me to inform you of his final decision

regarding the divorce.

You can keep this apartment and live here.

-That's it? -No.

No, that's not it.

Mr. Leonardo is keeping custody

of your son Nicolás.

Did Leonardo lose his mind?

Alpha 1.

We found the bikes by the river.

Alpha 1, Pablo is on a boat upstream.

Pablo is on a boat upstream! Let's go!

Perfect, we're ready to intercept.

We're going upstream. Boys!

We're leaving! Go! Stay alert!

Tell Gutiérrez.

Colonel, Pablo and his men

are on a boat upstream.

Going north. My men are after them.

Shit! Belalcázar is on his way too.

It's the cops! Stop shooting!

-Stop shooting! -Aguilar!

Yes!

What the fuck are you doing here?

The same as you, Colonel. We're here for Pablo's head.

This is not a paramilitary issue.

Go back and take your people.

Colonel, we're in an alliance with the government

and the men from Cali.

Tell them to leave.

Pablo is going upstream with his people and he's escaping.

We gotta get him now.

Thanks for the information, but you're not going.

Fuck, Colonel. Don't be an asshole. Let me through.

You better catch him.

Retreat. Let's go!

Mark!

Traitors, motherfuckers.

Die, assholes!

Let's go, is everyone okay?

-Yes, sir. -Let's go.

Make sure the fuckers are dead.

Take down the camp. We gotta move.

Alpha 1, do you copy?

We ran into the cops in the forest.

Colonel Belalcázar

made us stop.

They went after Pablo.

Our luck can't be this bad, my God.

They better catch him.

We'll see how to kill him in prison afterwards.

Beta 1, you copy?

Beta 1.

Are you retreating? What happened? Tell me, what?

Beta won't answer, man.

Who is this?

Hey, boys, check it out.

This fucker thinks I'm gonna answer.

Come on, let's take the bodies

to Medellín, fast.

Come on, man.

Turn it around!

In Operation La Mítica

at Nápoles Estate, the new alliance against the Medellín cartel

was close to capturing the big boss.

But in the end, luck was on Pablo's side and he got away.

Inside, let's go.

We don't have to walk anymore.

Hurry, man.

Belalcázar!

How the fuck did you let them go?

Stop pretending.

You know why Pablo got away?

Because we happened to run into Adolfo Aguilar and his men.

Oh, yeah.

Don't tell me you didn't know.

Why would I know?

Aguilar himself said he's part of the alliance

between the government and the men from Cali.

You're very naive, Belalcázar.

This is war. And all is fair in war, yes or no?

-No. -Yes.

I'll show you, and you'll pay for this.

Be careful, this could end badly.

According to intel information,

the National Police's recently formed search block

made an attempt to capture

the head of the Medellín cartel

in one of his fortresses today.

We still have no confirmation

on whether or not the drug lord was present

in the estate. However,

theories say he was there

and that he managed to escape with his security team.

-The following video... -Damn it.

It's a shame they couldn't capture him.

Yes, that would have brought this family much peace.

During the shoot-out at the estate,

many people were killed. Among them, it is said,

many family members of the kingpin's wife.

Apparently, the drug lord was...

More dead.

I hope they don't come after us for this.

When is this gonna end, dear?

Turn that thing off. Please.

...managed to evade the search block

that was able to enter

his estate, but not...

OUR LORD OF MIRACLES CLINIC - CALI

What happened to Rosario?

Sir, she paged me asking me to pick her up,

that she wasn't feeling well.

Doctors are seeing her, but I don't know anything.

Mr. Emanuel.

I just saw the news, Pablo got away.

We almost had him.

This government is full of idiots.

But you know what, sir?

At least he knows we're onto him.

Yeah, let's go. How are things there?

All good, don't worry.

Is everyone gone?

They finally left.

You've been driving me crazy with that skirt since this morning.

Fabi.

Tell me.

Are you being serious with me?

Yes, honey, I'm serious.

-Because I'm thinking of leaving Wilmer. -Leave him.

He doesn't respect me, treats me like I'm his daughter's sitter.

I don't want that anymore.

It's important. We'll talk later.

Let's just have fun now.

Cindy!

Cindy, what is this shit?

Such a whore, get out.

-What's up, cousin? -What's up, cousin?

-Motherfucker! -No!

Stop! Enough!

Enough! Stop!

Enough!

Help! Help me!

I warned you!

I told you I'd kill you if you messed with Cindy.

Hurry up!

Come here.

Come here, fucker.

What are you gonna do? Huh?

-Kill me! Or what? -Fabián!

-You don't have the balls! -Stop! Enough!

-You fag! -Enough!

OUR LORD OF MIRACLES CLINIC - CALI

Are you okay?

Rosi.

Tell me what happened.

Flaco said you started feeling ill

and you told him to bring you to the E.R.

What happened?

I saw light flashes.

Then I got a horrible headache.

Like a migraine, right?

That's what I thought.

But then I started shaking and getting chills.

My whole body ached, and...

I even had to throw up, Emanuel.

Maybe it has to do with the nightmares

you've been having?

Maybe.

Sometimes, the visions I have in my dreams

are so strong

that I spend the night trying not to sleep.

And I spend it trying to sleep.

Rosi.

You can't go on like this.

If you don't rest, you'll go insane.

Look.

Maybe we should find a specialist?

A specialist, Emanuel?

Yes, one of those doctors...

A head doctor.

Like a psychiatrist or psychologist.

Emanuel.

You know I'm not crazy.

Hey.

You piece of shit.

You waited until I was in Bogotá to stab me in the back.

You asked for it.

Do you think we're all idiots here and we don't know

you're screwing around with Constanza?

Shut your mouth, motherfucker!

-Lucho! -Sir.

Get Cindy and take her to my grandma's.

No, what? Shut up!

-We'll talk later, go. -Wait!

Get out!

Shut the fuck up!

Lucho!

Sir.

Take me to the hospital, this fucker cut my hand.

We're not taking both of you?

No? Look at him.

I'm not going anywhere with that fag.

Stay here, then, you scoundrel.

URIEL GARRIDO'S HOUSE - BOGOTÁ

Hello?

-Raquel? -Yes.

This is Mayerly.

I need to talk to your uncle Leonardo urgently.

I've been looking for him everywhere, is he there?

No, Auntie, he's not here.

He's just missing, huh? Who knows where he is.

Why are you so upset? Calm down, what happened?

No, that's nothing in comparison to what's coming

as soon as that scoundrel shows up.

Yesterday he said he was going to Cali, Auntie,

but I don't know if he went or not.

Okay, bye.

What happened?

Wilmer is here at the clinic, in the E.R.

-What? What happened? -It's not serious.

Apparently, he had a scuffle with Fabián at the Pan American.

-See? -Uh?

I saw that too.

-Hello? -Hello.

This is Fabiola Villegas.

Do me a favor, put my son Fabián on the phone.

Ma'am, there was an incident with Mr. Wilmer a while ago

and they both left.

What do you mean "an incident"? Wasn't Wilmer in Bogotá?

All I know is that a fight broke out

between both of them over Ms. Cindy.

Mr. Wilmer left with a bloody face

and asked to be taken to the E.R.

Come here, Cindy!

Why the face? What happened?

-What happened between Fabián and Wilmer? -No.

-I don't want to talk. -You don't want to talk?

What do you mean?

This is your fault! Tell me what happened at the office!

-I won't leave you alone! -Fabiola!

-Shut up, Fabiola! -What happened?

You'll wake the baby up. What is it? Why are you scolding her?

What do you mean "why"? I just called the office

and was told there was a problem between Fabián and Wilmer,

and she won't talk! Where are you going?

Cindy was there, I want to know what happened, Marlén.

-What happened? -I don't know.

-And she won't tell! -Enough!

-Calm down. -Come here.

Come, we'll ask the bodyguards.

-This way? -Yes, sir.

Look at him.

My God.

What the fuck are you doing here? Look.

Are you okay?

Huh?

Fabián and Cindy.

What with them?

I found them half naked at the Pan American's offices.

Wait, what?

Like I said.

That piece of shit is screwing my wife.

We'll take care of it. Let's go.

The wave of violence continues

as the war between the Cali

and Medellín cartels intensifies.

Today, in the morning, four bodies were found

in Antioquia's capital, none of them identified.

The bodies of the victims had a sign on them that read

"Dead from the Cali cartel".

LEONARDO'S ESTATE - CALI

Morning.

Are you awake, gorgeous?

-Hello. -Hello.

Yes.

-Oh. -How are you feeling?

I slept soundly.

There's no noise here,

there are no neighbors

to bother us, nothing!

No, this estate is wonderful.

At this time of the day, there's a wonderful breeze,

it makes me feel happy.

Right?

It's beautiful. This estate is gorgeous.

And you haven't seen anything yet.

Whenever you want, we'll go horseback riding.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Okay.

By the way,

your car is almost here from Bogotá.

I had it delivered.

-Really? -A-ha.

You'll be the envy of everyone in Cali.

Thank you, honey.

Don't worry.

I need you to get ready, I want us to go

to my mom's house.

I want you to meet everyone.

Breakfast?

Yes.

-Yes. -Let's order some.

Cindy! Open up!

Open the fucking door!

It's over!

Sure.

You can't even face me to break up with me, huh?

I want someone who appreciates me!

Who appreciates you?

Fuck off.

That's why you got involved with my idiotic cousin?

That's rich!

Cindy, please.

Don't be shameless, and stop being an idiot.

Fabián is a pig, he's always been a pig!

He's never respected women!

Just so you know. You idiot!

Respect? How can you talk

about respect

after what you did? You cheated on me first!

Or your cheating doesn't count?

Fine, perfect.

If this is the way it's gonna be, fine.

Go with that fucker.

You can go fuck yourselves.

Oh, but let me tell you something.

Forget about the baby for the rest of your fucking life!

Fucking gringa!

Did I make myself clear?

Oh, this dumbass is not answering.

A message, please, code 23410.

FABIÁN'S WAREHOUSE - CALI

SHOW UP NOW. SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. - FABIOLA

You got a nice beating, huh?

I think that asshole Wilmer broke my nose.

Galindo told us what happened at the Pan American last night.

Galindo is as ugly as he is nosy.

Plus, we ran into your cousin at the clinic.

-What were you doing there? -I had to drive

your aunt Rosario there.

They told us about the fight.

That man is pissed, you know?

And Mr. Emanuel too, you have no idea.

Actually...

they told me to pick you up and take you to the funeral home.

Fabián.

If you want my advice, leave.

I'd get lost for a while if I were you.

Until things calm down at least.
