Narcos	comment	Narcos is a Netflix original Criminal Procedural series produced by Gaumont International Television. It premiered in August 2015 and ran for three seasons. It was announced in July 2018 that season 4 would instead reset as the first season of a new Soft Reboot series titled Narcos: Mexico. That series also ran for three seasons before coming to an end.The series chronicles the United States Drug Enforcement Administration's attempts to stem the drug flow from South and Central America into the U.S., related from the perspective of hardbitten deep cover DEA Agents in the 1980s and 1990s. Along the way much chaos, corruption, and bloodshed occur in the pursuit of fortune and justice. The series is filmed in both Spanish and English, and mixes drama scenes with a semi-documentary style narration and real-life news footage.The first and second seasons of the original series respectively follow the rise and fall of notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, while the third depicts the conflict between the DEA and the Cali Cartel. Following the switch to Narcos: Mexico, the first season of that series follows the early origins of the Mexican drug war alongside the creation and rise of the Guadalajara Cartel, the second chronicles the downfall of Miguel Ã�ngel FÃ©lix Gallardo as leader of the cartel, and the third follows the inter-cartel Mob Wars that ensued.The show features Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar, and Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal as the DEA agents on his trail. Mexico features Diego Luna as FÃ©lix, and Michael PeÃ±a and Scoot McNairy as his most-prominent DEA adversaries. Jose Padilha, director of the first two episodes of the series, is also an executive producer.Narcos has branched out into other forms of media. CMON published Narcos: The Board Game in 2018, which has one player take the role of El PatrÃ³n while the other players take role of the factions tring to hunt him down; a Turn-Based Tactics game developed by Kuju and published by Curve Games called Narcos: Rise of the Cartels was released in November 2019; and IDW published a Narcos comic book series from December 2019 to July 2020.Interestingly, Narcos marks one of the few Netflix original shows to air on other platforms: Gaumont allowed Univision to televise it, and Pluto TV to provide an ad-supported means of streaming it for free.

Narcos / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: La Quica is notable for the sadistic pleasure he takes from his work as the MedellÃn Cartel's main assassin after the death of Poison, having absolutely no qualms in liquidating defenseless civilians and killing police officers in ambushes, but when Escobar asks for his participation in Storming the Castle of the Cali Cartel, something that is very probably a Suicide Mission, he gets notably deadly afraid, and ultimately deciding that he doesn't like the odds, he ends up betraying the MedellÃn Cartel by trying to run away with a chunk of the cartel's money, but gets arrested by the Search Bloc during this attempt. He also cracks very easily during Murphy and PeÃ±a's interrogation of him, quickly dropping his half-hearted attempts at acting tough and agreeing to give them all the information they want in exchange for a more lenient punishment, where pretty much all of Escobar's other men put up much more of a fight.

She doesn't take his Bodyguard Betrayal very well to begin with, but then very reluctantly counts her blessings and realizes she's frankly lucky that Berna's arrangement is the only one that allows her to make it out alive.

When she returns, everyone else in the house rightfully calls her out on doing something so incredibly stupid, but she assures everyone that she didn't put anyone in danger. Literally mere seconds later, Los Pepes arrive at the safehouse and start gunning down every living thing from the dandelions on upwards.

However, FÃ©lix is kidnapped by Escobar's sicarios, who threatens to have him killed as this move presents an existenial threat to Escobar's dominance of the cocaine market. FÃ©lix counters that he would have already had him killed if that was his intention, and he's right: it speaks to the importance of the Mexican corridor for Escobar's empire that instead he arranges an identical deal as the one offered to Cali.

Once he brings up the idea to his father, however, he's bluntly told that he is a 'murderer' with too much blood on his hands to ever be just a peaceful farmer. Escobar and LimÃ³n return to MedellÃn not long after. The whole plot of Season 3 is this. The leader of the Cali Cartel cuts a sweet deal with the Colombian government. He, along with his 3 business partners, turn themselves over to the authorities and surrender all of their illegal activity after six months of sowing up loose ends and getting their business in order. They do a little jail time. And in return get to keep all the billions they made over the years and direct it into legal businesses. In other words, going legit. However, each episode shows how this plan falls apart because of problems that happen both on the inside and outside of the organization.

Relations were already strained between Rafa and FÃ©lix as it was during FÃ©lix's transition from weed to coke. FÃ©lix absolutely sees Rafa as The Load after the murders in the restaurant.

For example: Steve Murphy doesn't appear after series 2. In reality, he returned to the U.S. the year after Escobar's death, staying with the DEA until as recently as 2013. Pablo Escobar's wife Tata and his son are still alive, having went into exile in Argentina. They were caught in 1999, held for 15 months, and have lived fairly quietly since. The son is now a motivational speaker and lecturer. Little is known about his daughter, although she is also still alive. Pablo Escobar's mother Hermilda died in 2006.

He treats everyone around him with disrespect, even his own men. Has a Hair-Trigger Temper that is a time bomb waiting to go off. He goes out of his way to make Jorge's life a living hell, just because his dad sided with him during a conversation. And he loves to torture and kill people. RamÃ³n is this in the Arellano-FÃ©lix organization; at one point he strings up a bunch of dead fish and uses them for target practice in a public park. It's implied this isn't the first time he's done it. He also brutally beats a night club patron for accidentally spilling a drink on his shoes.

Jaime Kuykendall starts off season 4 as just going through the motions, and resigned to the fact that corruption in Mexico means a new and foreign law enforcement body like the DEA is not going to make any progress. He also plays the Obstructive Bureaucrat to Kiki. But Jaime becomes the Father when Kiki starts to make headway, and the rest of the Guadalajara agents buy into Kiki's efforts. He personally leads his men on missions as a Frontline General, and always plans out the missions to minimize the risk to his men. He becomes The Determinator once he realizes that Kiki has been kidnapped, and leaves no stone unturned in the hopes that he can find and save Kiki. And that means going hard into Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!

Escobar gets a rare heroic moment as he rushes through the dust cloud to grab his kids and get them out of further danger. Martinez is a sterner version of this, looking out for his son. Gilberto finally decides to take on Escobar after he planted a bomb during the night of his daughter's wedding.

Narcos / int_1e1aa82a	comment	Amado during season 5 discovers the trackers on his planes while attempting repairs, in what amounts to a Diabolus ex Machina turn. Amado anticipates a raid coming on the big shipment that Cali is bringing in. So he has some men go through the motions pretending to load the air strip with what looks like cocaine keys. Breslin's team reaches the cache easily enough. But one of the team members notices that the keys are too heavy to be cocaine, and then tastes a sample from one of the keys to confirm that it's definitely not coke. He gets taken out the very next instant with a Boom, Headshot! That moment marks Amado springing his trap, an ambush by Cartel men who not only vastly outnumber Breslin's team, but have the drop on them too. Breslin and two others barely make it out alive, and even then only with the help of Double Reverse Quadruple Agent Calderoni.

However, we learn that he was purposefully stalling so his supervisor could get a copy of Murphy's passport to inform the narcos that a DEA agent had arrived in the country. Exploited by the Mexican government when they're trying to impede the DEA's investigation of Kiki's kidnapping. Unable to act without Mexican approval, DEA agents are given the runaround and sent on an endless loop of filling out forms, obtaining signatures, and bouncing between various agencies.

The investigation spirals into an obsession, with Tapia informing to the DEA in exchange for support he can't get from his own department. Any help he gets from the DEA proves to be useless; the DNA samples Tapia provides are too contaminated and the killer is using a false license plate. He finally finds his suspect and kills him by waiting for him in his car every night at the kidnapping spot — only to quickly find out that the man was only one of many such killers. Tapia himself is then killed in retribution for informing to the DEA, and the narration states that the killings of young women continue to this day.

Narcos / int_2835de61	comment	Evil Power Vacuum: Once it's clear to everyone that Escobar is done for, the Cali cartel wastes no time in taking over his operations in Miami, becoming the biggest Colombia drug cartel. In season 3 the major problem with Gilberto's surrender scheme is that as soon as he announces it he creates a power vacuum. Worse, he intends to wait the full six months before surrendering. Neither his allies or his rivals want to wait that long before making a grab for power. He then gets greedy and tries to temporarily expand his operations instead of winding them down. This makes a Mob War inevitable. At the end of season 5, FÃ©lix accurately predicts what will happen after the collapse of the Federation and the plazas become their own Cartels. They might get along at first, but eventually they'll just start competing for the best routes, product, and reach with the government and endless war is inevitable without a central leader controlling Mexico's entire drug trade. Season 6 ends with the death of Amado Carrillo Fuentes and other cartels immediately move in to seize his lucrative territory.

Because they control the most important corridor on the US-Mexico border, they heavily tax the Sinaloa Cartel for moving their product through Tijuana. The final straw for the Sinaloans is RamÃ³n murdering another one of their partners over a drunken insult and Benjamin rejecting their offer to buy their own piece of the border, which would have settled the conflict for good and let them go their own separate ways. This leads to a Mob War between the two that claims the life of Enedina's husband and the collateral damage of a dead cardinal wrecks their credibility with the Mexican elites forever. Being hunted down by the Mexican Army and seeing their empire implode before them, they strike back against the rival Cartels and even associates such as El Mayo who were merely in debt to them in a desperate bid to maintain control, which only serves to unite everybody against them and speed up their decline.

Anyone who's been paying attention will realize his real motivation is to get Claudio out of the way with the hope of having Maria to himself.

Narcos / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Escobar pulls one off. It's based on having LimÃ³n generate a Hope Spot for Maritza, that she can secure passage to America, and setting the bait for Carillo. Escobar correctly guesses that Carillo can't resist the chance to bring him down once and for all, and Carillo takes the bait hook line and sinker. FÃ©lix makes his start by killing Hernin Naranjo to get the attention of the DFS, which is an extremely risky move. He also tricks his DFS driver by saying he was once apprehended by El Azul. The whole point is to get himself just close enough to El Azul to make his sales pitch of seedless marijuana t, and it works. Breslin pulls one off on Zune Arco. Breslin correctly guesses that Zune Arco doesn't trust the military guards sent to protect him by his uncle, and that he's a Dirty Coward with nothing close to nerves of steel. All it takes is to show up on the estate's security cameras to cause Zune Arco to panic, and head straight for a plane manned by a DEA pilot that takes him straight across the border.

No one can come into or out of Cali without the Cartel knowing about it, and furthermore knowing a new arrival's entire background and history within minutes. Their systems for laundering money, exporting cocaine and insulating themselves from law enforcement by cultivating corrupt connections within the Colombian government and police show them as having their trade down to an art form. Further accentuated when the Gentlemen of Cali set up surveillance on almost everyone else in the Cartel, to flush out who was going to dissent against their surrender and retire plan. Those who indicated a willingness to turn against the Gentlemen are promptly executed. Javier PeÃ±a and Feistl head off any and every contigency as they plan and execute the arrest of Gilberto Rodriguez. They guess correctly that Calderoni is a Corrupt Cop, so they pretend to be misinformed and accompany Calderoni on a search of an empty residence. That proves to be a diversion, as Hugo Martinez arrives by a chicken delivery truck to the residence where Feistl had spotted Gilberto and begins the real search. They bring Calderoni over afterwards, and his nervous reaction reveals to Hugo that Gilberto is indeed hiding in the residence where the real search was taking place. They leave no stone unturned, and find Gilberto hiding under a Jacuzzi tub. They lead him away in the chicken delivery truck. It seems like Calderoni is about to become the Spanner in the Works when he hotwires a police car, and tries to get the rest of the local police to halt the arrest in its tracks before Gilberto can be flown to Bogota. But PeÃ±a and Feistl thought of that too. The truck carrying Gilberto hooks up with a second identical chicken delivery truck. Feistl leads the pursuing corrupt cops on a wild goose chase, buying time for the truck carrying Gilberto to make it to the airfield.

Similarly, the first episode establishes Pablo's character with him declaring himself the future President of Colombia. The final episode of season two opens up with a long dream sequence of him achieving just that. In the first episode, Murphy recalls that drug dealers he caught early on in Miami wore flip-flops. In Murphy's final appearance, Escobar attempts to flee him in flip-flops, although they fall off in the chase.

Narcos / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: The story condenses and sometimes rearranges the timeline and changes the specific details of some events. On the show, Murphy arrives in Colombia in 1981 and PeÃ±a has already been there or a while. In real life, PeÃ±a didn't get there until 1988, with Murphy not arriving in the country until 1991, a full decade after his fictionalised counterpart. This creates a continuity error in the first episode, which shows Murphy leaving for Colombia in 1981 and then going forward one year to the aftermath of the opening scene's shootout, which had already been stated to have taken place in 1989. Also, shortly after his arrival, PeÃ±a informs Murphy that because of the murder of DEA agent Kiki Camarena, the Cartels wouldn't dream of harming a DEA agent. The real Camarena was killed in February 1985. The real life Palace of Justice Siege took place in 1985. In the series, it happens in 1989. In the series, the United States still views communism as its biggest threat in 1989. In real life, by 1989 the Berlin Wall had fallen, the Soviets had instituted glasnost and withdrawn from Afghanistan, and communism was in decline all over the globe. For all intents and purposes, the Cold War was over. The show portrays M-19 as much less competent and dangerous than they were in order to prop up the MedellÃn cartel. The group did clash with cartels occasionally, but the show portrays it as a slaughter, forcing Ivan the Terrible to turn himself in to Escobar to save the movement. When M-19 attacks the courthouse, it's purely on Escobar's bidding. This is an existing conspiracy theory, but not much credit is given to it. Near the end of the season, Escobar betrays and casually executes Ivan and his closest supporters. In reality, Ivan was killed in battle against the Colombian army. Crosby's real-life counterpart Busby became ambassador to Colombia in 1991, not 1992 as in the show. His fictional predecessor, Ambassador Noonan, takes the place of four different ambassadors (Thomas D. Boyatt, Lewis Arthur Tambs, Charles A Gillespie Jr., and Thomas Edmund McNamara). Valeria is murdered by Los Pepes, while the real person she's based on, Virginia Vallejo, survived the war, going on to get political asylum in America after naming names of some of Escobar's allies. After season 3 aired the real Jorge Salcedo was interviewed and stated that while most of the story is factually true, some scenes were added for dramatic effect and never happened. Miguel never tried to suffocate Jorge with a plastic bag since Jorge was not exposed as The Mole until after Miguel's arrest. Jorge could not have killed Navegante in self defense since at the time of the shooting he was already in protective custody and far from the action. The arrests of the Cali Cartel leaders are shown out of sequence. Chepe was arrested a month before Miguel. PeÃ±a was not involved in bringing down the Cali Cartel. The DEA station chief was Joe Toft. See Composite Character. The Arellano-FÃ©lix siblings are shown to be distrustful of FÃ©lix Gallardo and seem always on the verge of leaving the cartel. They were actually his nephews and designated heirs. It would be like having Prince Philip trying to depose Queen Elizabeth II; pointless. FÃ©lix Gallardo is shown to have lost the respect of his plaza bosses which breaks up the Federation and leads to his arrest. Law enforcement alleges that he was still in charge for years after his imprisonment. The breakup of the cartel was caused by his imprisonment rather than his imprisonment being caused by the breakup.

Conversely, Carrillo staffs one of his command centers with men who don't speak English, so that he can talk to Murphy in front of them without worrying that one might be a mole. In Season 3 when one of the Cali Cartel leaders, Jose, who operates out of New York makes a phone call in a diner, he noticed someone might be listen in. After the call he confronts the man speaking Spanish, but the man claims he doesn't understand. Thinking he is being paranoid, he leaves the man alone. Episodes later, after the meth lab he controls blows up by accident, the same man is the main reporter on television speaking Spanish and revealing that its the Cali Cartel who controlled the lab, not the Dominicans who he took it from. He confronts the reporter and offers him a bribe. After the reporter refused, he kills him an goes back to Cali.

Narcos / int_729c69f3	comment	Politically Incorrect Villain: A rampant sexism and a toxic mucho-macho culture is prevalent among the narcotraficantes and their sicarios, who deliver plenty of casual homophobic remarks. It's a bit downplayed by the English subtitle track, which often omits them. For instance, Escobar uses the word "marica" (fag, sissy) during his introduction, and is unsubbed. This is played with in the Season 3 premiere. Pacho Herrera slow dances with and then kisses another man in front of everyone in a club to taunt his rival Salazar. Considering how homophobic the general culture is, this demonstrates just how feared and untouchable the "Gentlemen of Cali" really are.

Narcos / int_73e152ad	comment	"Rise and Fall" Gangster Arc: The first season depicts Pablo gradually expanding his cocaine operation in Colombia, becoming fabulously wealthy and powerful in the process. In season 2, things begin to go wrong for Escobar, resulting in pitched street battles between his men and the Colombian police. After two of his men betray him, he goes on the run and ends up cornered by the DEA and Colombian military after trying to contact his family. Finally, he gets shot in the ensuing shootout, and executed by a Colombian police officer. Mexico covers a similar arc for FÃ©lix; he starts as a local policeman, but manages to become the biggest drug lord in the world by uniting the plazas and switching from marijuana to cocaine. However, he eventually loses his political support and ends up imprisoned with his empire split into various factions.

Justified in part because, as a communist, she needed to escape the hunt for M-19 members to protect herself and the Murphys and PeÃ±a. However, since she was the one person who could link Escobar to the Palace of Justice attack, that thread dies as soon as she leaves. At least Escobar does something just as heinous to warrant attention. Despite being founding members of the MedellÃn Cartel, the Ochoa brothers are last seen being given a slap on the wrist prison sentence for illegally importing bulls from Spain towards the end of Season 1. Colonel Martinez returns in season 3 to help bring down the Cali Cartel but political backlash to the arrest of Gilberto causes him to be reassigned halfway through the season.

His wife grows frustrated not just at the amount of time and energy he spends on the job, but also the changes she sees in his personality as a result. She ends up leaving for the states with their adopted daughter. Kiki becomes increasingly obsessed with his pursuit of Miguel, spending more and more time and effort and neglecting his family in the process. His wife is eventually able to convince him that he's done enough and to accept a transfer, but by that time his efforts have already brought him to the cartel's attention. A theme for Walt in seasons 5-6, as he's repeatedly shown struggling, and failing, to find the balance between his professional life and his girlfriend, with the implication that he'd need to leave the DEA in order to have a healthy relationship. In the last episode he's shown having a heartfelt conversation explaining his motivations and the effect his actions had on him, and we assume he's finally chosen his girlfriend — until we see that he's actually using his old ruse of attending AA meetings to get close to suspects, and nothing has changed.

Narcos / int_7f8fd503	comment	Lonely at the Top: While its implied in Narcos Mexico: Season 1, its played very straight for Miguel Ã�ngel FÃ©lix Gallardo in Narcos Mexico: Season 2. While he runs the operation because of his ability to move cocaine from Colombia throughout Mexico into the United States, he is not liked or respected by the people he works with. He has no friends he can really count on, and even his closest men are with him for the money. Eventually even his wife leaves him when she can't stand how awful he's become, which he soothes with a string of hookers and mistresses. He admits this himself, by claiming he doesn't have friends, only employees. By the end of the season, all of them turn against FÃ©lix and freeze him out of his own empire, leaving him to get arrested by the new Mexican government he helped put in power. Amado Carrillo Fuentes discovers the same reality in Season 3 when he is at the top. His clever maneuvering against the other Cartels and his deal with Cali to be paid in product allows him to transform the Juarez Cartel into the wealthiest criminal empire in the world. However, while he lives in a ridiculously lavish mansion, he spends much of his time by himself in said empty mansion instead of indulging in Hookers and Blow like his counterparts. This is partially because of his failed marriage and the death of his daughter, partially because he knows his time is limited. He's forced to betray the one person he truly considered a friend, Pacho Herrera, to keep his empire intact. He strikes up a romance with an Afro-Latina singer in Havana, Cuba, but only visits her infrequently as a way to briefly get away from his daily life.

Narcos / int_8e9cf84e	comment	"Blind Idiot" Translation: A mild example because it doesn't impede understanding, but there's been complaints by Spanish speakers that the English subtitles for the Spanish-language dialogue in Narcos: Mexico are consistently inaccurate- they get the gist of what's being said, but they leave out a lot of the nuance and metaphors that add character, as well as the Mexican slang. And considering that something like 80% of the series run's spoken dialogue is in Spanish, it becomes glaring.

Narcos / int_8ed5c6e4	comment	Asshole Victim: In his one episode on screen, Gacha's son Freddie is overly lecherous to a maid, offers to kill her husband so he can have her to himself and tries to rape her before being interrupted, eventually killing her when he and Gacha flee, while blaming her for making him do it by not accepting his advances. When he's killed, only Gacha is really upset. Escobar himself zig-zags this. While his real-life mother mourning him is depicted in a tragic light itâ€™s juxtaposed with footage of the countless innocent people Pablo had killed due to spite, ego and greed, while she claims that Pablo was a generous benefactor of the people, who was unjustly persecuted. David RodrÃguez, Miguel's son, is killed in a North Valley Cartel drive by in the season 3 finale. Brutal as it is, Navaâ€˜s death at the hands of FÃ©lix is downright cathartic, given what a sadistic, arrogant and greedy scumbag he was. Itâ€˜s pretty hard to feel sorry for Clavel when Hector Palma bashes his head in after he shot his wife and threw his children off a bridge.

Narcos / int_9209b4fc	comment	More Hateable Minor Villain: The series is full of psychopaths of all nature in the cartels, and several nefarious CIA types who are willing to deal with them or do anything to "win" the war on drugs. However the cartel are often very badass, and the main CIA badguy, Bill Stechner, is very machiavellian and cool-headed. When Bill makes a deal with FÃ©lix Gallardo, the main bad guy of the first two seasons of Narcos Mexico, he has the state department send in an obnoxious smug bureaucrat named Ted Kaye. Ted Kaye proceeds to act like an entitled ass to Walt Breslin, the main protagonist, telling him that he made a shit sandwich, and he's trying to put a little mustard on it. He later ends up giving Breslin an award, while forgetting that they met before. Ultimately the likes of Bill Stechner or the cartels have far more direct influence on the story than Kaye who only appears in two episodes of the entire series.

Miguel Ã�ngel FÃ©lix Gallardo, the main villain of seasons 4 and 5 and the leader of the most powerful Mexican cartel, combines aspects of both Escobar and the Cali godfathers. Like the former he came from humble beginnings and more than anything wants to make a name for himself (ultimately leading to his own downfall), but like Cali he does so by creating a vast network with ties to government and intelligence officials and is overal much more calculating.

Narcos / int_a70223	comment	Karma Houdini: Despite being deeply involved financially with the narco cartels, and also dabbling in money laundering, corruption, and criminal threats, Carlos Hank GonzÃ¡lez never faced any legal persecution or sactions for any of these things. With the money vested in his business empire and his political connections, Hank had plently of threads to pull when it came to effectively shutting down or redirecting any investigation that touched upon his shadier activities. Even when the US National Drug Intelligence Center launched a larger investigation into his business, the so-called "Operation White Tiger", in 1997 and caught him and his sons dead to rights on tape dicussing the coordination of drug shipments, Hank leveraged his network that reached as far the US Senate to get the United States Attorney General at the time, Janet Reno, to make an official statement contradicting the results of the NDIC investigation and send him a personal letter of apology. Hank eventually died from cancer in 2001, at the age of 74, surrounded by his family and without never having been made to answer for his substantial part in the creating the chaos and violence that would continue to haunt large parts of Mexico in the decades afterwards.

Fernando Botero Salcedo, the Minister of Defense for Ernesto Samper, is a collaborator of the Cali Cartel while also being one of the leaders of the government's efforts to fight the cartels. In season 3, after Carlos CÃ³rdova is executed along with his wife as punishment for the arrest of Gilberto, Salcedo is made the new head of security. Fearing sharing the same fate, Salcedo becomes The Mole for the DEA and aids in the attepts to arrest Miguel RodrÃguez. In Narcos: Mexico, FÃ©lix-Gallardo eventually has the entire Mexican government in his pocket. He starts out allying himself to the DFS chief Nava, then the unnamed Minister of Defense, and finally the President of Mexico. In the third season of Mexico, following the murder of Cardinal Ocampo, General Rebollo is put in charge of hunting down the cartel members responsible and Agent Breslin joins him in the hunt. It's later revealed that he's on the payroll of Amado Carillo Fuentes and has been destroying his rivals for him.

Narcos / int_aa245ded	comment	Mob War: While Escobar is a rival to the Cali godfathers, for much of the series they maintain an uneasy detente. However, throughout season 2 he is also fighting off splinter groups of his own cartel, all the while the government is on an endless hunt for him. Cali also gets involved indirectly, as MedellÃn's fall would give them a virtual monopoly over the Colombian cocaine market. In season 3, after Gilberto Rodriguez is imprisoned, the vassal Valley North cartel smells blood and turns on the Cali Cartel, carrying out assassination attempts on both Miguel Rodriguez and Pacho Herrera. Despite Gilberto's pleas, Miguel orders to fight back. In season 5, tensions between the Tijuana and Sinaloa chapters of the Guadalajara Cartel reach a fever pitch, with the final straw being Sinaloa building a tunnel on Tijuana territory to skirt the 10% tax FÃ©lix placed on them. A series of killings and reprisal killings ensues, until FÃ©lix puts a stop to it by decapitating the Sinaloa organization, since he can't afford to lose the west coast corridor. In season 6, the plazas have become their independent Cartels, but Tijuana and Sinaloa start another war after previously agreeing to a truce immediately following FÃ©lix's downfall. The Arellanos start abusing their superior position to tax the poorer Sinaloans even more and refuse any resolution that would satisfy the latter. The resulting violence between the two groups eventually gathers national and international attention when they accidentally murder a beloved cardinal during a shoot-out, which deeply shocks the majorly Catholic country. Tijuana in particular suffers greatly from the ensuing government crackdown. This and the Cali Cartel deciding to call it quits creates an opening for their former allies to screw them over, so they declare war on ALL the other Mexican Cartels.

His clever maneuvering against the other Cartels and his deal with Cali to be paid in product allows him to transform the Juarez Cartel into the wealthiest criminal empire in the world. However, while he lives in a ridiculously lavish mansion, he spends much of his time by himself in said empty mansion instead of indulging in Hookers and Blow like his counterparts. This is partially because of his failed marriage and the death of his daughter, partially because he knows his time is limited. He's forced to betray the one person he truly considered a friend, Pacho Herrera, to keep his empire intact. He strikes up a romance with an Afro-Latina singer in Havana, Cuba, but only visits her infrequently as a way to briefly get away from his daily life.

When Operation Leyenda is portrayed in season five, however, it appears to consist solely of a handful of agents working out of an abandoned warehouse.

After Gilberto is arrested, Jorgeâ€™s head of security and friend is murdered in front of him, along with his wife by Miguel's son as a warning. Angered by this senseless murder and intimidation, he contacts the two DEA agents operating in Cali and makes a deal with them for immunity and protection for himself and his family. He succeeds in the plans after many close calls, and helps bring the Cali Cartel down. By the end of the season, he is put into witness protection and lives his life as a mechanic named Eddie, but he is miserable with his new life. This is why FÃ©lix's coalition eventually falls apart. After he betrays Rafa and Don Neto, sanctions the killing of Cochiloco, has Palma's wife and children murdered, and makes multiple huge business decisions without consulting any of them, the plaza bosses have finally had enough and withdraw from the federation.

In Narcos: Mexico Season 2, FÃ©lix Gallardo having Hector Palma's wife and children murdered, because he wanted to scare the other plaza bosses into submission, has the complete opposite effect. All of them are disgusted with FÃ©lix's actions and it becomes the last straw for them, even for El Azul.

While extradition to the United States is a way to bury the problem for good away from a corrupt Colombia and a Fate Worse than Death to the narcotraficantes, the show makes it clear that the Colombian Government, and many of its' citizens, led the charge to bring down Pablo and that American involvement was strictly for support. Perhaps best summed up by Lara's conversation with Murphy: Subverted in Season 4. While the small DEA team is fighting to make a difference in the face of a broken and corrupt Mexican system, all other Americans are at best apathetic and at worst actively working to maintain the status quo. Even at the end when they begin to take action, it's only because It's Personal rather than any sort of moral superiority.

And despite having no real cards of her own, with Berna her bodyguard holding them as the Dragon-in-Chief. She doesn't take his Bodyguard Betrayal very well to begin with, but then very reluctantly counts her blessings and realizes she's frankly lucky that Berna's arrangement is the only one that allows her to make it out alive. Miguel after Gilberto gets arrested thinks himself the new kingpin but his leadership just causes more problems for the Cali cartel, including turning Salcedo against the Cartel out of fear the latter will end up killed because You Have Failed Me. David RodrÃguez (Miguel's son) is even worse. Paranoid, doesn't look for threats around him, a Bad Boss, obsessed with ruining Jorge's life for no discernible reason, refuses to listen to reason, and tries to "rule" with an iron fist. Fittingly, he's unceremoniously gunned down, having taken no precautions whatsoever to protect his location. After the arrest of Don Neto and Rafa and the apparent disappearance of Miguel Ã�ngel FÃ©lix Gallardo, Benjamin organizes a meeting with the heads of the different plazas to establish himself as the new leader. It's abruptly cut short when FÃ©lix Gallardo shows up with the Mexican army, showing that he has secured his political protection and is still very much in charge.

And they often argue over who actually gets credit for a given kill. It amounts to a Dark Comedy play on of when Gimli and Legolas were competing between each other for the highest number of Orc kills during The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The scene in S3E3 where Salcedo notices a stray bundle of $100 bills on the floor in Pallomari's office during a police raid, and kicks it under a piece of furniture, is a shout-out to a similar sequence at the end of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. In a jailhouse phone call to his brother Miguel in Season 3, Gilberto asks his brother, "Â¿Por quÃ© no te callas?" ("Why don't you just shut up?"), echoing King Juan Carlos I of Spain to Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez in Real Life at the Ibero-American Summit in 2007.

Narcos / int_cadf2d2a	comment	Death of a Thousand Cuts: What gradually happens to Escobar's MedellÃn Cartel. Even the Cali Cartel was reluctant to cross the MedellÃn Cartel in the latter's heyday, as seen in a scene during the Mexico arc where the Cali Godfathers appear very reluctant to partner up with FÃ©lix if it meant crossing Escobar. But Escobar soon acquires a lot of enemies. The Search Bloc, splinter groups from his Cartel led by Judy Moncada and Berna, the CastaÃ±o brothers, and then the Cali Cartel. The splinter groups and the CastaÃ±o brothers together comprise Los Pepes, while the Bloc and Cali assist them from the background. And slowly but surely they start to whittle down Escobar's Sicarios. Each Sicario death, very often amounting to Cruel and Unusual Death, doesn't look like a big loss in isolation. But it adds up over time, and what's left of Escobar's once mighty Cartel is floudering and struggling to hold on. The knockout blows, severing the connection to Miami, and routing what's left when Escobar tries to make a desperate move on Cali, only come after the MedellÃn Cartel has been sufficiently weakened over time in a process of attrition.

He says he works and listens to the people (and despite being one of the richest men in the world and head of the Cartel, never calls himself rich, rather "a poor man with money") and rails against the oligarchs, or "men of always." But it's ultimately revealed that he desperately seeks those very men's approval, and has no issue with getting those same downtrodden people caught in the crossfire of his terrorism. The MedellÃn Cartel's first incarnation was an organization known as Muerte a Secuestradores (Death to Kidnappers) in response to M-19 holding the family members of the Cartel leaders for ransom. Later on, Escobar mounts his own kidnapping campaign against the families of politicians to pressure them into accepting his demands. Pablo's mother is a devout Catholic and insists on praying and going to church regularly, even though she lives in luxury bought with the blood and suffering of tens of thousands of her fellow Colombians. When her real-life counterpart publically grieves Pablo's death and wishes for no mother to feel the way she feels, the intercut montage of drug war casualties makes it apparent her son did exactly that to many thousands of parents. The CastaÃ±o Brothers claim they're an army fighting against the communists, and that they hate drug cartels and are only working for Judy, to help destroy Escobar. During the season finale, Los Pepes make a business deal with the Cali Cartel selling drugs, get Judy's The Dragon, Don Berna, on their side, and sell her to the CIA. A case of Laser-Guided Karma for Judy, because she was going to sell them all out to the DEA. Navegante tells Salcedo he's dissappointed that Salcedo became an informant for the DEA, the very same thing Navegante was doing in season 1.

Claudia Messina is specifically brought in by the DEA to curtail the free reign Murphy and PeÃ±a have been enjoying in Colombia, but she proves herself a fair boss with a sound judgment and a logical, independent thinking. It is implied she gets reassigned because she is not what the brass expected, a yes woman.

And one of those islands, Curacao, has several banks with less red tape which makes it the perfect laundering site for drug cartels.

The other two members of the leadership, Chepe and Pacho, go along with Miguel because neither of the three men want to surrender to the Colombian government. Miguel Ã�ngel FÃ©lix Gallardo betrays his boss, El LeÃ³n de Sinaloa, to establish his vision of the Federation. Amado Carrillo Fuentes admits to FÃ©lix at the end of Season 5, that he was never on his side and was pretending to be a loyal partner until he could strike when he was most vulnerable. Furthermore, he never believed in The Federation FÃ©lix created, preferring the Cartels run their own territories like it was before. Which is what he convinces the other Cartels to do by turning on FÃ©lix, making it clear he was the mastermind behind the coup. Fuentes makes another such move to take over the Juarez Cartel in Season 6. While he starts as a junior partner of Rafael Aguilar Guajardo, after Fuentes is arrested it takes 3 months for Aguilar to find somebody to bribe to get him out, causing him to miss his daughter's funeral. Further, Aquilar refuses to adapt to the changing nature of the drug market, so getting rid of him had become necessary to survive. Downplayed by El Chapo in Season 6. He gets arrested and sent to prison, followed by his boss Hector Palma. Don Neto tries to position himself as The Man Behind the Man to El Chapo, advising him to dethrone Palma and take over the Sinaloa faction. El Chapo does so, but he has both Palma and Neto, his two biggest rivals, Reassigned to Antarctica instead of just killing them outright.

She's later seen having dinner with Pacho Herrera. Maria Salazar during season 3. She's upfront about not caring about Claudio and having married him for money from the beginning.

Narcos / int_f740a274	type	Historical Beauty Update
Narcos / int_f740a274	comment	Historical Beauty Update: Almost everyone, but most notably Pacho Herrera, who in real life looked nothing like the dashing character he is portrayed to be throughout the show. Steve Murphy also gets an upgrade. At the end of series two, when Pablo Escobar is finally killed, the real life photograph is shown immediately after one shot of the aftermath. In the photo he is an average, balding, middle-aged man, whereas his actor is - dated facial hair aside - quite good-looking. Even Pablo Escobar, in series one, is prettier than his real life counterpart. Another standout instance is Justice Minister Lara, who looks nothing like Mexican actor Adan Canto.

Narcos / int_f7a458c3	comment	Dartboard of Hate: Halfway through season four, as Kiki is ready to go back to the U.S. after spending years with the DEA in Mexico, he and his colleagues are seen throwing darts at a board outlining the Guadalajara Cartel network. None of the darts hit FÃ©lix Gallardo's picture, just as none of their many attempts to take him down have succeeded up to that point.

Narcos / int_f933e594	comment	How the Mighty Have Fallen: Despite at one point being the most powerful and wealthiest criminal in history, Escobar's continued war with the government and his narco rivals slowly chips away at his empire through sheer attrition. Eventually, all but one of his soldiers are wiped out and he has to go into hiding at his father's farm. When he resurfaces in MedellÃn with delusional plans to rebuild the cartel from scratch, the Search Block quickly finds and kills him.

Although he supposedly died undergoing plastic surgery to change his appearance, Jaime and Walt discuss how the body disappeared and the two doctors working on him ended up dead as well. Seemingly confirmed by the scene during the final credits featuring Amado's girlfriend in the house he bought her in Chile. Although we only see her, there are two glasses of wine visible; we also see the toy airplane that Amado carried with him.

Narcos / int_fe1ccea	type	Evil Parents Want Good Kids
Narcos / int_fe1ccea	comment	Evil Parents Want Good Kids: A lot of the narcos try to keep their children sheltered from and ignorant of what they do for a living. The standout instance is Gilberto Rodriguez, who wants his son, Nicolas, to stay a legitimate lawyer without any involvement whatsoever with cartel business. But Nicolas insists on getting involved with fighting Colombia's efforts to incarcerate his father. Noticeably averted with Miguel Rodriguez's son, David, who often acts as The Dragon for the Cali Cartel and is a grade-A Stupid Evil Sociopath. Also averted with Gacha's son, who is not only just as Ax-Crazy as his father but a rapist on top of that. Not that his old man cares. Which makes it very karmic that he dies in his father's arms.

To sell the deception the DEA agents offhandedly tell their Mexican law enforcement liaison about the supposed financial documents, knowing the information will filter its way back to FÃ©lix.
