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.

-What's up? -What's going on?

Tell me. How's the operation going?

We haven't had any news in half an hour, sir.

Alpha one.

Reporting that the journalist was at the site.

There was a shootout and she was wounded.

Apparently, it's serious.

Right now she's being transferred to a hospital in Medellín.

Ask about Pablo.

Pablo!

What happened to Pablo? Over.

Negative.

He wasn't at the site.

I repeat.

-He wasn't at the site. -Damn it!

He escaped again!

Attention. Breaking news.

Well-known journalist Diana Turbay

was wounded during a surprise rescue operation

and is currently being transferred by helicopter

to the Olaya Herrera airport,

where an ambulance awaits her

to take her to the Medellín General Hospital.

Apparently, Turbay received several bullet wounds

and she's in critical condition.

We're waiting for developing news and we'll also be waiting

for the medical report from the institution

where the famous journalist Diana Turbay

was hospitalized.

-Stay tuned for updates. -Where are you going?

To the news station.

That was a major screwup.

We lost control of that shit show, Uriel.

Hello?

Yes, this is him.

How are you?

We just heard it on...

It is what it is.

We...

There must be some explanation.

I'll call you back.

Okay.

Goodbye.

I don't know how he does it.

That Pablo is very lucky.

LA ERMITA FUNERAL HOME - CALI

I think he even prayed.

Hello?

Mr. Leonardo?

It's Uriel.

Bad news.

Uriel, how are you?

You're on speaker phone with Emanuel and Nacho.

I'll do the same.

I'm with Wilmer.

I just spoke with the president's office.

They're demanding a clear and precise explanation

about what happened in Copacabana.

I'll go to the Palace

for damage control.

But I'll warn you,

things aren't looking good.

Uriel, tell me.

When you spoke to them,

how much did they know about the operation?

It seemed like they didn't understand what was going on

and didn't have more information.

Everything is so confusing.

That's good.

We can use that to our advantage.

Why? What do you have in mind?

If the government finds out

that we gave the order to enter that ranch,

everything will be over with them.

We need to blame Gutiérrez,

say that he issued the order by himself.

Sir,

I'm sorry, but I think

that could create more problems for us.

Listen to me, it's our back

or Colonel Gutiérrez's back.

That guy turned out to be our scapegoat.

You must understand that.

MARSHAL ROBLEDO POLICE ACADEMY

Gutiérrez!

What the hell did you do?

I gave you the order not to step foot on that fucking ranch!

What's your issue, Belalcázar? I was after Pablo.

Pablo wasn't even there, you idiot. And Turbay ended up wounded!

Did you hear that?

At least I have the balls to do something, right, Belalcázar?

Come on!

Come on!

Let's go, stupid fuck! Come on!

Let's see!

Come on! Let's see!

Ms. Diana was admitted to the Medellín General Hospital

at approximately 2:30 p.m.

The patient arrived with a bullet wound, she was immediately transferred

to Surgery, where she was treated by an emergency medical team.

They tried to resuscitate her,

even opening up her chest to apply direct massage.

Unfortunately, the damage to the vital organs

was too extensive,

and the patient passed away.

Colonel Gutiérrez!

Sit down!

Explain to me what the hell happened.

General, we had the exact location of Pablo

and decided to catch him.

That was all.

That was all?

Actually, you decided to ignore the presidential order

to not execute any operation.

General.

We had his location, we couldn't miss the opportunity.

Because of that opportunity,

Ms. Diana, the journalist, was killed.

This is the ballistics report

that says the projectile

that killed her came from a law enforcement rifle!

Listen up, Colonel.

I make you directly responsible

for that act.

Did you hear me?

General, I had information from the Cali people.

I think they betrayed us, then.

And that information was in my beeper,

the beeper that was stolen by Belalcázar.

Oh, Colonel, you don't even know what to say.

What we can do then is blame

the Cali people.

I see that.

But you

disregarded the order.

And they also preempted you.

Because they specifically informed the president

that they weren't responsible.

And that you had acted upon your own decision.

So, Colonel,

this won't come as a surprise.

Starting now, you're out.

Get your things.

Get out!

Do whatever you want, Belalcázar.

None of you

know what you're doing.

You have no idea!

Clown!

Mom, you were right.

They killed Diana.

Oh, my love. I know.

I know and you can't imagine the pain I feel.

I know how important that woman was to you.

Oh, my love.

You and I couldn't do anything.

What's wrong?

I'm talking to our girl, my love.

Oh.

Who's there?

Your dad.

Let me talk to him.

Emanuel.

Your daughter wants to talk to you.

Take it, she's upset.

How are you, my love?

I'm so sorry about this woman's death. I know she was your friend.

Did you give the order to initiate operations

knowing Diana's life was in danger?

Raquel, we did what we had to do.

It was an opportunity we couldn't pass up.

What opportunity? To end her life, Dad?

What are you? Killers?

Killers?

Raquel, do me a favor.

Grow up, damn it!

Stop the foolishness!

You can think whatever you want about me, but I'm your father!

Hello?

Raquel!

Ra...

She hung up on me!

Rosi?

Rosario?

Mom!

Rosario fainted!

Bring me the pills!

So sad about Diana.

My sister is devastated.

This country has definitely gone to shit.

Of course she's sad. They had become close friends, right?

And well, this country...

I have to go to the airport now.

-Hey! -No.

I'll miss my flight

-and I can't miss that flight... -Connie! Come here!

-Wait. -Enough.

Wil!

-Do me a favor. -Okay.

Be very careful in Cartago, okay?

I'll be fine, it's just a party. I promise.

No, but look.

You know I'm not happy about this.

I know.

But since you're going there,

do me a favor.

Rather,

run some errands, as they say there.

What do you mean?

Listen carefully to the conversations

among the Cartagena members and their people.

-To know what they're up to. -Just like that.

No, just that, yes.

Wilmer, you're just asking me

to become your spy.

Right?

Well, if you put it like that...

while we're on the subject, yes.

You'll be my spy, what do you think?

I think it's very convenient.

It's fine, I agree. Partner.

-Bye. -Bye, partner.

Be careful, okay?

What, Sandoval?

-I need to talk to your superiors. -They're not here, Colonel.

Do me a favor, Sandoval.

Call them, it's urgent.

I'd rather not bother them.

Look.

Don't make me lose my patience, okay?

Call Emanuel.

Any of them, Sotomayor.

Whoever will come and face the music.

I'm going to ask you to do me a favor, Colonel.

Leave and don't come back.

What?

-What do you mean? -What you heard.

Yes, sir.

The bosses already ended their employment relationship with you.

Is it true that they made me a scapegoat with the government?

Colonel, you need to understand something.

After the death of the journalist, Diana,

the situation got complicated.

Look.

Do I look like an idiot?

Are you going to turn your back on me at the last minute?

Know what?

I'm leaving, but with my money.

With the money you owe me. Come on!

I'm going to recommend something to you, Colonel.

Don't ask for anything.

Leave and don't ask for anything.

And in your best interest and your family's,

all the information addressed in this alliance is confidential.

You...

you're threatening me, Sandoval?

Tell your bosses something.

They fucked up.

They really fucked up with me.

I'm leaving immediately to look for people

who really need my services.

This is how it'll be.

What's up?

Are you feeling better?

Yes.

Well, I'm not.

Emanuel, I...

I've been thinking about something these last few weeks

and I need to tell you.

I can't take it anymore.

What are you talking about?

I've been thinking that it's best if I...

distance myself.

Distance yourself?

Distance yourself from me?

From everything, Emanuel.

Everything.

If I stay here, I'll die.

And you'll find me on the floor,

dead from a heart attack.

Rosi...

Stop exaggerating.

"Exaggerating"?

I don't have a life anymore, Emanuel.

I don't sleep, I don't eat.

It's best if I leave.

I'm leaving with our daughter.

You and I

will separate in the meantime, for a while.

Raquel.

I'm so sorry.

My dad and uncle gave the order to enter the ranch.

Raquel...

You need to understand we're in the midst of a war.

It's very complicated.

Some things are out of our control.

And other things turn out badly.

Diana wasn't the only one sacrificed in all of this.

Look.

I think the only thing we can do is wait for this all to end.

And hopefully it'll be very quick.

That's the problem, Wilmer.

The situation in this country is worse everyday.

I don't see any signs that things will end soon.

What happened? Who is it?

My mom is coming to Bogotá.

Why?

I don't know.

Strange, right?

Yes.

Look.

Rosario's last prediction was Diana's death, right?

Why are you asking me that?

Because lately all of her predictions are coming true.

And honestly I hope she's wrong about me.

What did she tell you, Wilmer?

You have a very short lifeline, son.

And it seems to speak of...

a violent death.

My mom told you that you were going to die?

My daughter.

I know you want to go because...

because you think that it's...

well, the best for you and all that, but...

Er...

What?

I was thinking, why

don't you think about it? Take your time. It's just that...

Emanuel loves you a lot and...

it'll be very difficult for him if you separate.

Oh, Marlén.

Marlén, you know that I adore him with all my heart.

Living with Emanuel has been very hard

these last few years.

I know, but...

but that's marriage, right?

To overcome the obstacles together.

Yes.

Yes, Marlén, but you've seen me.

I...

I need time, I need space.

If I stay here, if I don't go, Marlén, I'll go crazy.

ÓSCAR CADENA'S ESTATE - CARTAGO

-Hey. -What's up, Jorge?

-The girls are here. -How's it going?

The girls have arrived!

-My friend. -The cattle is here.

Yes, that's right.

I needed this. I'll go welcome them. Make yourself at home.

That's the attitude.

That's the attitude of my beautiful and pretty girls.

Hello.

What is this?

What a gorgeous panty party!

Welcome! No, but...

We ordered mares and you brought giraffes!

Hi.

We're here to see Mr. Óscar Cadena.

Can you please let him know we're here?

Of course, I'll let the boss know you're here,

but we have a very important safety protocol here.

First,

we perform a personalized inspection of the ladies.

Make it fast.

We're going to do this then, okay?

You're so charming.

European!

-Hey. -What?

Do you see all of these pretty girls?

Yes.

They're not for guys like you.

Can you please let your boss know we're here?

Go, tell him.

Constanza! Baby!

-I was waiting for you. -Okay, Óscar.

You look so pretty!

Welcome, sweetie pies!

-Thanks! -You're very pretty too.

-Thanks. -Corporal.

-Help them like a gentleman. -That's right!

Boss, how strange! Me, a gentleman?

-Always. -Make yourself comfortable!

This way.

-Well, my loves. -Mr. Óscar, one thing.

-Before anything. -Yes.

It's just that...

My girls are used to...

being treated more respectfully.

-Okay? -Don't worry.

I know you're good quality, that's why I hired you.

I love that they're bigger.

Excuse this man, I'll control him. He's a little wild.

Thanks.

Make yourself at home.

Well, girls, start making the rounds.

-Mingle. -This way, my loves!

Men, the high-heeled personnel have arrived!

Very good.

-What's your name? -You're gorgeous.

And you?

Miss, and you?

Are you available also?

I'm supervising everything here.

Oh, what a pity.

Too bad, because you're with a very sexy guy.

Corporal!

Excuse me for a minute.

-What's up? -Corporal.

I want to let you know that Colonel Gutiérrez is here.

Tell them to take him to the study and I'll meet him there.

Understood, over and out.

I'll see you later. Enjoy the lovely day.

What's up, Mono?

Hello, miss. I'd like to send a message to code 4962, please.

Yes, it should say: "How is everything going there?"

That's it, thanks.

-Wilmer! -What's up, Uriel? How are you?

Good, and you?

-Doing well. -Good to hear!

I have to tell you something.

You're going to have a visit.

What about? From who?

Mrs. Rosario.

She's going to stay with us for a few days.

She and Mr. Emanuel are separating.

What?

The Villegases are definitely screwed up

when it comes to women.

Well, your relationship with Constanza has lasted pretty long.

Despite Mrs. Cindy and the baby.

What a handful.

Hello.

Hi, my love.

We're at Óscar's estate in the middle of the event.

Connie, how are you?

How's it going?

Good, everything has been fine up until now.

Except for a security guy who's a little obnoxious.

They call him Corporal and he's one of those guards

who thinks he's the owner of the building.

Look, do me a favor.

Be careful.

Be extra careful, I'm asking you.

Wil, I called to tell you

that Colonel Gutiérrez has just arrived.

And he's behind closed doors with Óscar.

Gutiérrez?

That doesn't make any sense.

And even more so since my dad told me he no longer works for us.

That doesn't sound good.

I'll try to listen in on the conversation.

Bye.

Ah, Óscar,

I wanted you to know for the record that you can trust me

for anything that you need inside the police force.

That's good.

That's good, Colonel.

But tell me something.

I thought you had been working

with the Villegases for some time now, what happened?

Oh, a problem, a misunderstanding

regarding the kidnapping of that journalist,

Diana.

And we decided to end it. Each one went their own way.

Honey, go. Can't you see

we're in a meeting?

Corporal!

Mr. Óscar, I wanted to know if you and the gentleman

wanted some company.

-Hi. -My favorite is María Claudia.

Of course. Come here, cutie.

My meeting is beautified with your presence.

Oh, thanks for the compliment.

Sit down.

No, sir. I'll wait for you outside.

Well, Corporal. What do you think?

Should we admit the Colonel or not?

What do I think, boss?

This man here is a respectable person.

When I was an assistant officer, he was my superior.

I think he's someone who can help us inside.

That's settled, then.

Welcome to the organization of the Northern Valley, Colonel.

Thanks, Óscar, and you can count on me for anything you need on the inside.

Make yourself at home.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Thanks, Corporal.

All good, Colonel. We'll help each other.

Mom, honestly I don't know what to say to you.

I'm not surprised, because deep down,

I knew this could happen.

In any event, the news made me sad.

I know, honey.

You can't imagine the thoughts going back and forth, but...

This had been on the burner for some time.

And I'm sure I'm also to blame,

because I know I've caused a lot of problems for you both.

Raquelita.

Don't say that, how could you?

You don't have anything to do with it.

What happened is that the peace has ended

for our family, Raquel.

Mom, I can't get involved in your affairs.

But I can say that you can count on me.

I know, honey.

And thanks.

Now, first we need to find a place to stay.

Because I can't stay with Uriel.

It's too close to all the crazy things happening.

Check that you're not forgetting anything.

Let's go.

Okay.

It was nice meeting you.

Thanks.

And the rest, Corporal? This is only half.

The rest?

What could've happened to the rest?

I don't know.

This wasn't the agreement with Mr. Óscar.

We have a problem, my love.

All of the ladies you brought...

had a bad attitude,

there wasn't any spark, attention and...

Stop with the nonsense and give me the rest.

My love, I'm saying this is it.

Got it, I'll talk to Mr. Óscar.

What do I need to do, my love,

for you to understand that this is it?

Let's get out of here!

In! Everyone inside!

Let's go now!

It was great having you here.

You're welcome anytime.

Be careful with these beauties.

Bye, sexy.

Look, Nacho.

Were you able to find anything out about Hugo's money?

Yes.

I spoke to him.

He's going to try to comply with the payments,

but the DSA is really coming down hard.

He's even had to change the warehouses several times.

No, wait a minute.

What's going on?

Everyone is being an idiot with the money.

Now is the time to invest

to end the Medellín cartel, but no.

You're acting all crazy.

Óscar Cadena acting like an idiot with the contributions.

Stop fucking around!

-Yes. -Boss.

-What's up? -Ms. Constanza.

Tell her to come in.

Good evening, gentlemen. Hi.

-Come in, sit down. How are you? -Thanks.

-How are you? Good, you? -How are you?

-Come in, please. -Do you want some whisky?

Please, thanks.

Love, tell us how it went at the so-called party of Cadena's friends,

-we were just talking about it. -Badly.

Bad, horrible. Corporal, that imbecile,

ripped me off for half the money we had agreed on with Óscar Cadena.

Half. But it's something I'll have to address with him.

Didn't you pay Constanza?

Careful about getting me in trouble with the Villegases.

She's Emanuel's daughter-in-law.

Oh, boss, I'm shocked! How can you say that to me?

That skinny snob

disrespected me, and what did I do? I had to tame her.

That's what happened. Am I to blame?

Look, you fucked up.

What else did you learn?

There was a meeting behind closed doors

that one of my girls attended.

It turns out that Óscar hired Colonel Gutiérrez

for the organization.

Very slick, Colonel Gutiérrez.

Óscar hasn't mentioned anything about this, right?

Didn't he ask us for authorization?

Maybe he wants to be independent?

Sandoval.

We have to start monitoring these people.

You got it, sir.

Constanza, thank you.

Sir, it's my pleasure.

This woman is a Mata Hari.

Professional espionage work.

-Good spy. -Of course.

Cheers to that.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have some things to do.

-Did he upset you? -See you later.

Constanza, take care.

Thanks, Nacho, you too.

-Bye, baby. -Enough with the lovey dovey.

What do you mean they didn't pay you?

Half.

CONSTANZA SPIED ON YOU. THEY KNOW YOU HIRED GUTIÉRREZ - NACHO

Son of a bitch, shit.

What happened, boss?

Nacho. Constanza spied on us and knows about Gutiérrez.

I'm not that dumb.

At least we have Nacho there listening to everything they say.

But careful.

We can't underestimate the Villegas family.

We need to tread lightly.

-So? -So what?

Call them.

Ask them for permission to hire Gutiérrez.

No! There's no way those two will accept that.

And what does it matter if they say no?

You're going to keep working with us, Colonel,

but on a leash.

What's important is

they don't suspect we're playing dirty.

Good idea. Tomorrow I'll call Leonardo.

I can't believe it.

So that skinny snob tricked me,

she thought I was naive.

What a bitch!

I'm sorry, boss,

I don't care if she's Emanuel Villegas's daughter-in-law.

That bitch will never see me again, I'm fed up

with her bullshit.

-I'll put a bullet in her so she learns. -Corporal!

DAILY NEWS STUDIO - BOGOTÁ

How's the story coming?

Good, I'm almost done.

Raquel, look what's here.

It's a message from the Extraditables.

Well...

They want to blame the government and police for Diana's death.

They're shameless, huh?

"We're advising you in advance that there will be more kidnappings

of very influential people in the country.

If you continue to follow us,

more tragedies will continue to occur in Colombia."

Do you know what they want?

They want to cause terror, panic in the streets.

That's what they want.

And they'll get it.

The Extraditables carried out their threat.

Kidnapping became their favorite weapon.

They abducted other journalists and politicians.

Even another son of a former president.

This way, they brought the country down to its knees,

and forced the national government to look for a negotiated exit.

DAYS LATER

There's a strong rumor being spread

that the government appointed a commission of prominent people

to negotiate Pablo's surrender.

What?

Pablo is going to surrender?

Get serious, Uriel.

That man has always wanted to be the most powerful one in the country.

Now he'll surrender to go to prison? Come on.

That's what we all think.

But many people have told me that this

is exactly what is being negotiated right now.

Moreover, they're assuring

that Pablo's surrender was already agreed.

So, what are they waiting for?

The official statement of the Constituent Assembly

prohibiting the extradition.

Well, this works in our favor.

Point for Pablo.

Uriel, do you really think

Pablo has manipulated the Assembly?

What I'm saying is a rumor.

Nothing is confirmed.

Hopefully, he doesn't surrender. We almost have him.

Maybe that's why he wants to surrender.

Look, Uriel.

We need to send the government an urgent message.

Tell them to wait a few weeks more.

Yes, sir, I will.

But I can't promise you much.

There's zero receptivity towards the issue.

It seems like the president wants to go down in history

as the one who forced Pablo to surrender and not the one who tried to capture him.

Hang up.

Son, is that you?

FABIÁN'S HOUSE - CALI

Fabián!

Mom, come here!

What do you think about this screen I got?

It's just to watch the matches of my soccer team, Tuloa Union.

It's very expensive, Fabián, how did you pay for it?

No, Mom. It was on sale. 20% discount!

Tell me the truth, are you trafficking?

Oh, Mom, don't start.

I've done well buying and selling players.

It's a very good business. I've made a lot of money.

Watch and you'll see.

If I were involved in an illegal business, what would be the problem?

We don't have to be accountable to Leonardo and my uncle anymore.

It's not just because of them, Fabián.

Do you want to end up in prison?

Do you want me to spend weekends there?

-Enough! -Do you want to kill me?

Relax, Mrs. Fabiola, it was just a question.

Nothing bad is happening.

You'll see, Mom.

I'll show the whole world

that I didn't have to go to the U.S. to study

to become a badass businessman.

And when my soccer team rises from the dust

and becomes the best team in Colombia,

I'll see the look on everyone's faces.

Oh, my love.

-Wait. -Oh.

Careful.

Let's get it out.

And use it for the first time.

Look at this, Mom.

Excuse me!

Hi, my men!

-What's up, Mom? -Hi.

And Wilmer?

He's with the girl.

How are you, Mayerly?

What are you doing here?

Nothing, I stopped by to say hi to your mom.

And to see how the boy is doing.

Oh, the boy. Nicolás is very good.

In Spain, it's very good.

He doesn't need anything, you don't need to worry about him.

How am I not going to worry?

-Leonardo... -Look how much fun

we've had playing Parcheesi! Like in the good old times.

Yes.

Michi.

-Mom. -Have you heard anything about Rosario?

Honestly, not much.

It's been a while since I've spoken to her.

In any event,

Raquel tells me she's okay.

They were just staying at an apartment in La Macarena.

Oh...

Oh, Emanuel, what a shame.

You two were the ideal couple.

Excuse me, you have a call

-from Ana Elvira. -Thanks.

Hello?

Hi, my love.

Are you coming now?

No, my darling. I'm here with my mom.

I'm going to eat. I think I'll be here for a while.

-I'll be there soon. -Seriously?

Leonardo! Do you want to play with us?

Should I put out another piece?

-Is that Mayerly? -Yes.

She came by to visit, she's leaving now.

Do you want to play?

Gentleman, 1200.

Look, thanks.

You're welcome.

Have a good night.

Low-Cost Pharmacy.

Hi, are you coming?

I made something delicious.

I have a lot of work, Ana.

So, no, I don't think so.

Why do you work so much?

I haven't seen you in weeks.

Are you hiding?

Ana, I'm sorry, but

there's been a lot going on here, at the pharmacy.

Okay.

Promise me we'll do something tomorrow.

I don't know, ask your aunt Nora for permission.

You also told me you'd teach me to horseback ride, and you haven't.

Please, Felipe.

Please, I'm going crazy here, locked up.

Okay.

We'll do something tomorrow, I promise.

Great.

Raquel!

-What's up? -Raquel, read it.

-What happened? -Breaking news of Pablo. He surrendered.

What? I can't believe it!

He turned himself in

at the Medellín criminal investigations office.

It seems they're going to take him to a prison in Envigado,

a special prison.

Look, Walter.

Do me a favor and find out what prison it is.

I don't know what prison they're talking about.

-Go and find out where it is. -Right away.

Hello.

Pablo surrendered.

The rumors were true.

It seems like it.

Do me a favor and let everyone know.

Of course, miss. Right away.

I think it's very good news, Sandoval.

With this guy in prison, it's less of a burden on this country.

Hopefully.

Why are you unsure?

Miss, I've always doubted

the good intentions of criminals.

I hope I'm wrong.

The news about Pablo's voluntary surrender

caught many people by surprise.

But what should've been encouraging for many

felt like abandonment

and betrayal by the national government.

POLICE ACADEMY - MEDELLÍN

We were close to capturing him, General.

Yes, Colonel, but we didn't capture him.

We lost that last opportunity.

And now the government gave the order to dismantle the search unit.

It's a damn failure.

My government won't like this.

We wanted Pablo in a prison in the U.S.

I understand, agent Mathews.

I understand it was a very important

economic and political loss

for your country.

Believe me, I'm sorry.

But we can't do anything else.

Colonel.

Give the order to pick this all up.

We're leaving.

Yes, sir.

Imagine,

I made a special dinner for your dad and he didn't come.

He'd rather stay at your grandma's house with Mayerly.

Lately, he's been spending time there.

The truth is I don't know what to say.

He's still playing the happy family game.

While I'm here, inside, alone,

in this cage of gold?

You need to talk to him

and tell him how you feel.

You're right.

You're right.

I'll talk to him.

I'm tired of this situation.

Felipe.

Thanks for listening to me complain.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

No.

Today is a historic day for the country.

Pablo, boss of the most powerful cartel in Colombia

and one of the most sought-after drug traffickers in the world,

has turned himself in to the justice system.

According to official sources,

Pablo and his lieutenants have been taken

to a special maximum security prison.

This new prison will be the permanent place of seclusion

for this dangerous criminal,

who, as we've said, has voluntarily surrendered to the justice system.

We hope that on this occasion

Pablo complies with the government agreement

and that this new strategy finally brings peace to all Colombians.

Where will this prison be?

I have no idea.

But it doesn't sound good.

It must be one of Pablo's traps.

Yes.

Wherever there's fraud, it's the government that gets stepped on.

We need my brother to be here.

No, Felipe.

What?

What's going on here?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Felipe, wait.

Explain what's going on.

You want me to tell you so badly?

Yes.

I gave Ana Elvira a kiss.

Because she's charming, I've liked her since the first day I saw her.

But don't worry.

She's not interested in a guy like me.

She belongs to the great Leonardo Villegas.

The strong man, the czar of Cali,

who has unlimited money and resources

to give her whatever she wants.

Be very careful with what you're saying.

Am I lying?

I think you're only concerned about your business,

to have money, so they eat

out of your hand and bow down at your feet.

Ana.

Ana! Ana, wait!

I'm sorry.

I'll leave the estate right now,

and you won't have to worry.

Nobody has to know what happened.

-Excuse me. -Felipe.

Felipe, wait!

Felipe!

Ana Elvira!

Anita!

Ana!

Where is she?

Ani! Anita!

Leonardo, look.

I swear.

-I swear! -Calm down!

Calm down.

I spoke to Felipe.

He's to blame for everything.

He's leaving the estate.

What?

No! But why?

Leonardo, he's been my only friend

this whole time.

I'm sorry.

I just saw you kissing my son.

And the only thing you're worried about

is that you're going to lose

a friendship with him?

That's what you're worried about?

Do you know what's going on?

You haven't realized, Leonardo.

Open your eyes!

I live alone, inside this estate,

because you're never here!

And the only person who's been with me has been your son.

I think you're ungrateful.

What...?

Ungrateful?

Stop joking, Leonardo.

And you,

spending time at your mom's with Mayerly?

Mayerly...

You know I couldn't care less about Mayerly.

And if you couldn't care less, why haven't you divorced?

Anita.

I love you.

Look.

I have to take care of some things.

But I'll see you later at my mom's house for Linda's birthday.

I hope to see you.

Oh, such good news.

Finally!

Finally this guy is behind bars.

Actually, I think it's very strange.

The issue of his surrender and the place where he'll be locked up.

Why?

Because I, at least, haven't heard of this place before.

Maybe they'll build it specifically for him?

No, I don't think so. That would be too crazy.

Think about it, why didn't they bring him to a prison here in Bogotá?

I don't know.

Maybe they want to isolate him,

they don't want him to interact with the other prisoners.

Maybe that's why.

-I don't know. -No.

They want to isolate him.

It's very odd.

I don't know if I should be happy,

or angry.

But I do think it's strange that Pablo has surrendered.

At least we know where he is now.

Son, it's not worth anything to us.

The guy is still alive.

And besides, what's the deal with the prison?

Nobody knows where or what it is.

Sir, it's Pablo's line.

Oh!

I want to hear this.

Hello.

What's up?

How are my Cali friends?

We're doing very well, and you?

I bet you already know I've surrendered,

and that I'm in prison.

What do you think about the fact that I've followed Leonardo's example?

And I made my own prison!

And do you know what the best of all is?

You can't even get to me here,

you or those sons of bitches the Pepes.

The government itself protects me.

Look, Mr. Pablo.

You're not even close.

Don't even think you'll get away with it.

I already did!

But, in the meantime, be careful,

because even though I'm protected,

you owe me.

And I won't forget, it's pending.

Goodbye.

Fatso, fuckface!

I'm calling Uriel.

Hello?

How are you, Uriel?

I'm going to put you on speakerphone.

Wait.

We're all here together.

That loser Pablo just called

from that supposed prison.

And the prison isn't what it seems to be.

Do you know anything about this?

What do you mean, sir?

Well, Uriel.

We're referring to the fact that Pablo had a resort built.

Do you understand?

A resort!

And he's making the whole world

think that he turned himself in to the justice system.

Look, Uriel.

Find out

what the infamous agreement was that Pablo signed with the government.

Because all of this seems like a huge circus, understand?

It's going to be a little complicated, sir.

Because this issue is being treated with the utmost secrecy,

with extreme discretion.

And to get any information is...

is very difficult.

But I'm thinking we could turn

to Constanza and her girls.

Be careful, Uriel.

Listen to me. Constanza doesn't work in this business.

So it's better if you find out elsewhere, okay?

As you say, sir.

Constanza.

Idiot.

Gentlemen, I know we're not super enthusiastic

right now,

but my grandma is waiting for us at home

to celebrate Linda's birthday.

And it would be lame to bail.

What do you mean we're not enthusiastic?

Let's go, we'll have a great time.

Afterwards, we'll deal with Pablito.

The government protects him?

I pay all of the senators' salaries.

I'm the government!

See you later, Sandoval.
