She was very annoying, brother, and What a poisonous tongue, no? One bite from her and you die.
Be careful what you say, Bernal.
Well, if you want to see her alive again, you're going to have to get me all the money, bro.

Careful.
Careful, okay? The person who stole the stash is the same person who escaped from the Capital Prison last week, sir.
El Potro.
Of course, we're looking for him, but we still haven't been able to determine his whereabouts, sir.
Of course, Mr.
District Attorney, I will keep you informed.
Goodbye.
Alexandra, my love.
How are you, my love? Alexandra, look at me.
Alexandra.
Oh, my love.
What happened? Did you lose the baby? Oh, my love.
Oh, my baby.
Baby, okay.
No why? My son.
Shh, my love.
Why my baby? No! My baby, no.
No.
CAPITAL PRISON PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK - Careful.
- What's wrong? - Where are you going? - To make a call.
Can't you see I'm busy? The commander is waiting for a call.
Get out of here.
- Really? I didn't know.
- Get out of here.
Listen to this guy.
There's the call, boss.
Hello.
Victoria? My love, is that you? Oh, Abel.
My love, are you alright? Thank goodness you're alright.
Tell me, are you at home? You're an asshole, Abel.
You're an asshole.
Hey, don't be like that.
Then why don't you do me a favor and die? I swear to God, you'd be doing me a huge favor if you would just die.
Come on, Victoria.
Please, look.
You must understand, I had to pay a ton of money to have them leave you alone.
Don't you understand that it's your fault they're going to kill me one of these days, Abel? You think I have to keep taking this shit? Tell me! Why do I have to take this? Why should I let them kill me because of you? No, nobody is going to kill you.
Nobody is going to touch a hair on your head because I I don't have anything to do with this.
I don't have to take this shit because of you.
I don't owe anything to anyone, Abel.
Keep your problems and leave me alone, because I'm leaving, you hear? - I'm leaving.
- Listen.
Listen, I know that you're in a bad way.
I know that you're afraid.
What that bastard did to you is unspeakable.
But please, calm down.
I'm leaving, Abel.
I'm leaving and I'm taking my son.
I'm taking my son, because my son shouldn't have to put up with this.
No, ma'am.
Don't bring the boy into this.
Victoria! Victoria! - Victoria! - Oh, no.
Wait.
Wait a minute, boss, wait.
Don't throw the phone.
You're going to need it later, sir.
All right, calm down.
He kidnapped me.
You let him take me and you didn't do anything? It didn't look like you were putting up much resistance.
What? I got on my husband's enemy's motorcycle because I wanted to? The son of a bitch who almost killed me? Who made me lose my baby? Is that what you're saying? We thought you were running off.
What is it that you work in? Intelligence? No, you're doing it very well.
Really.
Listen, miss, we made a mistake.
I apologize.
This is something that got out of our control.
But I promise you.
I give you my word.
From now on There's not going to be any "from now on", sir.
I want to remind you that you have a deal with the District Attorney.
And if the District Attorney didn't hold up his end of the deal, then what? You know what you can do with that little piece of paper? Rip it up.
Burn it.
Do whatever you want with that shit.
But I'm not going anymore.
This is the kind of protection you're offering me? This is how you'll take care of me? This is how you're going to take care of us? For God's sake.
I'd rather take care of myself.
Let's go, Mother.
Alexandra.
Alexandra.
- Alexandra.
- Alexandra.
Alexandra.
Alexandra, my love, think about this.
What are you going to do? Mother, I I need to see John.
- No, no more John, Alexandra.
- No, I need to talk with him.
I don't want to hear that name ever again, you hear me? Don't you see how you are, how I am? That you lost your baby? How far are you going to go with this? Alexandra, listen to me.
Think, for God's sake.
Look at all the signs.
If God took that little angel away from me, why? Don't you see? No, Mother.
You know what the deal is? John is my husband.
And I'm not going to abandon him.
Alright.
Forgive me.
CAPITAL PRISON My friend.
How did it go? Well, bro I went there, I got close.
There were cops all around, bro.
And as you know, when the heat is on, you could get killed.
It didn't work out, Pope, it didn't work.
My friend If there's no money, there's no deal.
Torres, I need you to come here and take this prisoner to the paramilitary cellblock.
Mr.
Velásquez.
Door.
Everyone gets what's coming to them, Velásquez.
Door.
Guard, where are you taking Mr.
Velázquez? I'm following orders.
Dr.
Bejerano told me to transfer him.
If I told you to cut off your balls and feed them to the dogs, - you'd do it, right? - Come on, Díaz.
It's an order.
The gentleman is going to his cellblock.
As long as I'm the warden of this prison, things will be done as I say.
Very well said, sir.
As long as you are the warden of this prison.
SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION OF IMMEDIATE TERMINATION With your permission, sir.
What did that paper say? Oh, Mr.
Velásquez.
You were saved by the bell.
Just when you were about to go to the slaughterhouse, Dr.
Bejerano gets fired.
What a lucky little thief.
Can I tell you something? You know who they're making the new warden of this prison? Yes, sir.
Yours truly.
They definitely know who can bring this prison into line.
Unfortunately, I can't let anything happen to you, since you signed this deal with the government.
But I want one thing to be crystal clear.
As long as I am the warden, your reign is over.
From now on, you're just one more sore.
My friend, congratulations.
If I can help in any way, - you can count on me, understand? - Shut up.
We all understood the magnitude of this operation, that we weren't talking about a simple hitman, but we were talking about the head of all of Pablo Escobar's henchmen.
The secrets in that stash would have implicated half the country.
We're not going to fix our mistake by beating ourselves up.
ATTORNEY GENERAL That's true, sir, but it's important for you to have a complete report on the operation.
Let's look forward.
What do we know about El Potro? El Potro is a middleman in the Valle cartel, who should be incarcerated in the Capital Prison.
Should be? Should be, but isn't.
And the strangest part is that there isn't even a report of him escaping.
They took too long to change the warden.
We're looking for the criminal, sir.
The operation is in progress.
RURAL ZONE Champion, Potrico.
Champion.
What's all this? What's all this? What is this jackpot? CANDIDATE What the hell is this? Relax, it's all good.
I'm on a secure phone.
The guy needs money.
Which guy? Who? Well, El Gordo, don Pedro.
And how much money are we talking about? They need three billion.
Oh, no.
Tell them not to worry.
We're on it.
The money's no problem.
- Oh, good.
- All right, and what's in it for me? You know, don Genaro, for all your work and effort You hit the jackpot, Potrico, you hit the jackpot.
With forty-seven percent popularity CAPITAL PRISON Excuse me, Dr.
Bejarano, but Doesn't that stapler belong to the institution? You can keep your stapler Thank you.
And my job.
You can't deny, that's what you wanted my job.
Have you finished packing? You will kindly be escorted to the exit.
That kindness and that little smile will be wiped off your face very soon.
To sit in that chair, you need balls.
And that's what you don't have.
The prisoners are going to have a field day with you, sir.
Torres, Zafra.
Accompany the gentleman.
As soon as they officially appoint me, we're going to impose order in this place.
Really? Very well, Mr.
Warden.
I must admit, this office looks good on you.
Doesn't it? Oh, yes.
Oh, Clemente, what good news, my love.
But tell me, what did they say to you? How did it happen? Is the appointment official? Yes, I was with the bosses and they told me they are seriously considering me.
That's wonderful! We're going to work together.
You're going to be my right hand.
We're going to impose order in this jail and wrest the power away from those thugs.
- Yes.
- The two of us.
CAPITAL PRISON PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK May I, sir? Come in.
It's confirmed, don Abel.
They fired Bejarano.
After all that money we paid him, he got himself fired? Oh, well, can you believe it, sir.
And there's a rumor going around, sir.
What? They say that the person who's going to replace him is that jerk Clemente.
Son of a bitch.
Don't worry.
Relax, sir.
Let's wait until it's official and then we'll work on him, and that's it.
Clemente, as stubborn as he is, will get himself killed.
Well, that's his problem, sir.
Alright, and has J.
J.
turned up? No, it's unclear.
I had heard that they were taking him to solitary, but I haven't heard anything since then, sir.
I need to get transferred immediately to solitary confinement.
What? I need to transfer immediately to solitary confinement.
But that's impossible right now.
That would require a written order from the warden.
Listen, either they transfer me immediately, or you'll see what happens.
Please, turn around.
Open your legs.
Open you legs.
Come on, didn't you hear me? Hey, easy.
Remember, visiting hours today are only for two hours.
So hurry up.
Here.
- Where is he? - In there.
I'm sorry to bring you here like this, don Abel, but I didn't have any choice, sir.
I'm following orders.
Don't worry.
I'm where I want to be.
Vásquez.
You have a visitor.
Hello, John.
What happened? Forgive me, okay? What happened? Forgive me for talking to the DEA.
- Forgive me for not having faith in you.
- What happened? - I'm so stupid.
- What happened with the DEA? What happened? What did you tell them? Did you give them the stash? No, the problem wasn't with the DEA.
Where did you get El Potro from? - Why did you send El Potro to me? - I sent him to protect you.
To protect me? He fucked us over.
- What do you mean, "he fucked us over?" - He fucked us over, John.
Because when we got to the stash What do you mean, "when we got to the stash"? You took him to the stash? Are you crazy? I didn't want to, John.
He was threatening me.
What could I do? What happened to the money? Alexandra, what happened to the money? What happened? What happened to the money? What happened to the money? El Potro took a duffel bag.
I don't know.
- And the other things? - It's as if I had never been there - What things? - The rest of the things.
There were some papers, videos, cassettes, documents.
What happened to all of it? There was an explosion.
And it's all gone.
RURAL ZONE Oh, baby, I'm very sensitive.
That's good.
Wait.
What kind of massage is this? You don't finish with a happy ending? What's wrong with you? Respect me! "Respect me?" I'm not respecting you? If you want, I'll pay you in dollars.
You run out on me? I had to get a married one.
Hey, how's it going, bro? It's El Potro.
Listen, no.
Look, listen to me, man.
I have to make this quick.
They're hot on my heels.
Look, I need you to get something for me.
I need you to get me a contact.
Listen to me.
I need you to get me a contact with someone in the Conservative Party.
No, don't be an idiot.
Stop.
How could you think that I'm going to become a politician? No, it's because I have a deal to make with them.
I need you to talk with the Conservatives.
Tell them that I have some cassette recordings that will be explosive.
It's the proof that the Cali cartel Yes, sir.
Financed that politician's campaign, the President of the Republic.
Fuck, man.
Fuck.
I've got the cassettes.
We're going to get a ton of money out of them.
That's the only thing you care about, isn't it? Have you asked me how I am? How the baby is? Your baby, John Jairo, have you asked me about him? He's gone.
After all this shit, I lost the baby.
My baby My baby, John.
My love, maybe it's for the best.
What? It's for the best that I lost the baby? - You were in danger - Really? You know what? That's what I wanted to hear.
- That I was a burden.
- No, that's Is the visit over? After I got thrown out of the university like I was a thief.
I threw away my career, my life, all because of you.
And you say that to me? You're an asshole.
- Wait a minute, stop.
- No.
- I'm getting the fuck out of here.
- Where are you going? Wherever you go, they're going to find you and kill you.
Where are you going to go? The Directorate of Prisons has reviewed the candidates.
DIRECTOR OF PRISONS And they want to offer you the directorship of the Capital Prison.
It would be an honor, sir.
It's a very big challenge, very big.
I know, but that doesn't scare me and it won't stop me.
Does that mean you accept? I accept.
I promise I will transform this prison and wrest control away from those criminals.
That's it.
It's a done deal.
You know, you may be right.
You'd better go.
Yes? Where? The fuck out of here.
Isn't that what you said? Oh, great.
But you'll go when I tell you to.
To somewhere you'll be safe.
I got you into this.
I'll get you out.
Go.
Maybe one day we'll be together when I get out of here, if I get out alive.
We can get married again, if you want.
But right now, we can't.
Look at you, you're scared shitless.
This is a brutal war.
You've already seen that.
So it's better for you to go.
Go? Don't be ridiculous.
I'm not going.
Especially not now.
I'm the only person you can trust.
The only person who can help you.
Look what El Potro did.
And the people here? They're so great? I'm not leaving.
Am I tired of it? Yes.
Sick of it.
But I'm not going to leave you.
My love, if you're willing to stay with me, we must fight together.
You can't let me down.
You won't let me down? I need you to help me.
I need you to help me get back the money El Potro stole from me.
I need it in here to survive and so I can make sure you have a good life outside.
Tell me what needs to be done.
CAPITAL PRISON He finally arrives.
You don't know how much I enjoy seeing you looking for somewhere to hide.
Look, you bastard, why don't you come and kill me? Stop with the threats.
Relax, be patient.
You'll die when I say so.
Or maybe you've already forgotten that I'm the head of this prison? Look, you shitty little hitman.
Have you already forgotten that the glory days of the Medellín cartel are over? That's history.
Open your eyes.
Wake up.
Because now the people who are running this prison and this country are us, the paramilitary.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Why don't you run for president so that I can kill you while you're campaigning, son of a bitch.
Congratulations.
Asshole.
Your time is going to come.
Gentlemen.
It's zero hour.
Starting now, the rules in the Capital Prison are changing.
The guards are no longer working for the criminals.
The only hierarchy we're going to recognize is our own.
We're in charge.
We make the decisions.
CAPITAL PRISON PARAMILITARY CELLBLOCK Alright, gentlemen.
What do we have? It's all clean, sir.
We didn't find anything.
And these are the exhaustive searches that you do? You even make the bed? Are you maids or guards, gentlemen? Search.
Take everything off.
Mattresses, everything.
Stick a knife in that shit.
It must be full of things.
Let's see.
Let's get to work, gentlemen.
We're going to do a full inspection.
You don't need to be scared of those thugs.
It's now time to do things right.
This is how you searched? Excellent.
A complete and total search.
I have to do everything myself.
This is ridiculous.
You're just gonna stand there looking at me? Search, gentlemen! Those thugs, remember that they're here serving a sentence.
Penalized.
They're not on vacation, gentlemen.
I have the support of the National Directorship of Prisons.
So whoever wants to do a good job, will be rewarded.
But whoever wants to keep selling himself to the highest bidder, will end up where he deserves to be in a cell with the criminals.
We're going to search every hole in this prison.
Understood? Yes, Lieutenant.
Follow me, gentlemen.
Come on, make it quick.
Cabezas, open that door.
GUERRILLA CELLBLOCK Alright, gentlemen.
You're all going to go to the cellblock with me very quietly.
The guards will accompany you.
Don't make us resort to violence.
I'd be more than happy to.
You heard me.
That's an order.
Move! Get these things out of here.
Do me a favor Don't leave the beds made.
Don't be so kind, gentlemen.
Out.
Quickly.
Quickly.
Everyone out, gentlemen.
Out.
Come on, Mr.
Galeno.
Alright, we're leaving.
You heard.
Get out.
- Let's go.
- Out.
Out.
Mr.
Galeno, that was an order.
Didn't you hear me? We're going.
- Let's go, gentlemen.
- You heard.
Get out.
Hurry, that's an order.
Let's go, out.
Gentlemen.
Proceed with the search.
Come on, Mr.
Galeno.
I don't have all day.
This is the beginning of what I intend to do to reestablish order in this jail.
You should know that I'm not afraid to cross any of you.
From now on, there won't be any mutinies, or escapes, or missing people, and especially no violent deaths.
Did Minea check everything over well? Yes, Lieutenant.
DRUG TRAFFICKERS CELLBLOCK Alright, criminals.
Your reign is over.
The disorder is over.
Don't think that you will get things, like you would on the street.
No, gentlemen.
From now on, you will be treated like what you are the lowest of society.
I hope this message has been clear.
Gentlemen.
Let's get all of this together and turn it in to the police.
NEIGHBORHOODS OF MEDELLÍN - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Hello.
Hello, Mother.
Oh, Alexandra, my God.
I've been so worried.
Relax, I'm nearby.
Are you in Medellín? Why don't you come to the house already? No, I can't come yet.
I have a little something to do.
What little something? I'll tell you later.
"I'll tell you later," Alexandra? Why are you acting like this? You never kept secrets from me.
Why don't you tell me what that thug J.
J.
told you to do.
Alright, I have to go.
Hang up, Alexandra.
Hang up, because I already know that as your mother, I have no authority over you.
And nothing's going to stop you.
You know what'll stop you? That, God forbid, you'll get killed.
Oh, don't start again, okay? Don't ask so many questions, so I won't have to lie.
Keep doing what you're doing.
It's going great for you, huh? Come on, my love.
Are you alright? What happened? Don't go, wait.
