00:00:07,283 --> 00:00:10,Based on the book
El Cartel de los Sapos by Andrés López

00:00:10,286 --> 00:00:13,and the characters in El Cartel,
the Caracol Television series

00:01:40,418 --> 00:01:43,IN 1993, COLOMBIA PRODUCED 80%
OF THE WORLD'S COCAINE.

00:01:43,421 --> 00:01:45,THE DRUG INDUSTRY
TAINTED THE COUNTRY

00:01:45,965 --> 00:01:48,WITH BLOOD, VIOLENCE,
AND CORRUPTION.

00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,I swore to her
that I would never kill anyone.

00:01:58,811 --> 00:02:00,That's what I promised her.

00:02:02,231 --> 00:02:03,How did I get here?

00:02:07,444 --> 00:02:09,How did this day come?

00:02:10,406 --> 00:02:13,My name is Martín Gonzales.
They call me "Fresita."

00:02:14,368 --> 00:02:17,Like many before me,
this story begins with someone...

00:02:17,747 --> 00:02:20,...picking cocaine leaves
in the Colombian jungle.

00:02:23,461 --> 00:02:27,BASED ON A TRUE STORY

00:03:55,595 --> 00:03:57,All right, let's begin.

00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:03,{\an8} We are in Cali, Colombia.
It is 1993.

00:04:03,561 --> 00:04:06,I ** at the wedding of Pepe,
my best friend, business partner...

00:04:07,064 --> 00:04:10,...and the reason why
I g***t into drug trafficking ten years ago.

00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:13,At that time,
there were two important Cartels:

00:04:14,322 --> 00:04:17,the Medellin Cartel,
led by Pablo Escobar...

00:04:17,241 --> 00:04:20,...and ours, the Cali Cartel.

00:04:21,662 --> 00:04:27,Both Cartels were at war,
so we always had to watch our backs.

00:04:36,052 --> 00:04:39,Son, before you learn to speak,
you have to learn to dance.

00:04:39,764 --> 00:04:43,This is boring.
Let's get this party started!

00:04:43,142 --> 00:04:46,-Should I get the Mariachis?
-Forget them! Pay attention.

00:04:47,188 --> 00:04:52,This is how you get
a party started!

00:04:54,403 --> 00:04:56,Bunch of assholes!

00:04:56,739 --> 00:04:58,Long live my brother Pepe!

00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:03,11 YEARS EARLIER

00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:10,Pay attention, boys.
This cutting cocaine thing isn't easy.

00:05:11,921 --> 00:05:16,-Don Oscar, but what do we cut it with?
-With flour, with...

00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:21,Shut up and pay attention!
With flour, with chalk, with anything.

00:05:21,514 --> 00:05:25,Come on, Oscar.
Stop getting the kids into trouble.

00:05:25,226 --> 00:05:28,From 1 kilo, you will get
1 1/3 kilos. No more.

00:05:28,729 --> 00:05:34,If you get more, you f***d up.
Don't be greedy. Keep the client happy.

00:05:34,318 --> 00:05:38,You cut it, others are going to cut it,
so what do you have left?

00:05:38,155 --> 00:05:41,If you want to be in this business,
you have to buy socks.

00:05:41,701 --> 00:05:43,-You can't go around looking like fools.
-Fools?

00:05:44,036 --> 00:05:48,Listen! If you want people to fear
and respect you, you have to dress right.

00:05:48,874 --> 00:05:51,Everything comes in
through the eyes.

00:05:51,085 --> 00:05:54,In this business, you have to stand
in front of a lot of people.

00:05:55,715 --> 00:06:00,Fresita, with those eyes and a nice shirt,
you're going to get all the p***y.

00:06:00,469 --> 00:06:02,No, Don Oscar.
I just want one.

00:06:03,389 --> 00:06:06,-Look at this idiot. He's in love.
-You fool.

00:06:07,727 --> 00:06:12,That's Sofía, the girl I've been
in love with my entire life.

00:06:13,816 --> 00:06:19,D***n, she's fine!

00:06:19,614 --> 00:06:20,Right?

00:06:20,865 --> 00:06:24,Don't be a bum.
She's a good girl.

00:06:27,955 --> 00:06:30,You've had me out here
hung-over for three hours!

00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:36,You should pick up a better chick.
That bimbo doesn't even give you a glance.

00:06:38,132 --> 00:06:43,Just because you only like skanks,
it doesn't make her a bimbo!

00:06:49,352 --> 00:06:51,Why are you such a pig?

00:06:52,438 --> 00:06:55,There she is.
Look! That's right stupid.

00:06:56,234 --> 00:06:58,Seriously, look!

00:07:01,864 --> 00:07:04,Wow. Sophie g***t hot.

00:07:14,669 --> 00:07:19,-Who's that? Her boyfriend?
-No, it's just her friend from school.

00:07:19,215 --> 00:07:24,Friend? Listen to this idiot.
You're the friend.

00:07:24,637 --> 00:07:28,An imaginary one at that.

00:07:29,517 --> 00:07:32,He's the trophy,
and you're the dirty little secret.

00:07:32,478 --> 00:07:36,Dude, with those clothes,
they're never going to let you in there.

00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,Listen, that girl is a princess,
the queen of her castle.

00:07:40,486 --> 00:07:44,Don't take this the wrong way,
but you're a rat. Hey mama, look up here!

00:07:44,574 --> 00:07:47,My friend wants to meet you!
Up here!

00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:53,Get up a***e, she's about to leave.
Won't you invite her to my wedding?

00:07:53,916 --> 00:07:55,Later.

00:07:55,334 --> 00:07:58,What? You make me wait here for
three hours to tell me that?

00:07:59,005 --> 00:08:01,At least kick the s***t out
that a***e. A***e!

00:08:06,470 --> 00:08:08,You p***y!

00:08:09,682 --> 00:08:11,Who else?

00:08:13,102 --> 00:08:16,Don't tell me you're
like this because of that bimbo!

00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,No, I'm fine.
I just have a headache.

00:08:20,359 --> 00:08:23,That's because you're
not f***g stupid.

00:08:23,529 --> 00:08:27,-Stop being so annoying!
-Martín, listen to me, no listen!

00:08:30,369 --> 00:08:31,Chicks...

00:08:32,163 --> 00:08:36,Chicks like Sofía
aren't for people like you and me.

00:08:38,502 --> 00:08:41,We're drug dealers, Martín.

00:08:42,590 --> 00:08:47,We're not doctors or dentists.
We're drug dealers.

00:08:49,180 --> 00:08:52,When you get that through your head,
you'll stop suffering.

00:08:52,642 --> 00:08:58,Get up, a***e! I just g***t married!
Get up! Let's celebrate.

00:08:59,315 --> 00:09:02,Are you gonna make me kick your a***s?
Come on and make me!

00:09:08,157 --> 00:09:11,When Pepe g***t married,
we were living a great moment.

00:09:11,410 --> 00:09:13,We had the world
at our fingertips.

00:09:13,537 --> 00:09:16,We were in business.
We were all friends.

00:09:17,124 --> 00:09:20,We sent massive drug shipments
to the U.S.A.

00:09:21,212 --> 00:09:24,Except for the war
with Pablo Escobar...

00:09:24,257 --> 00:09:27,...we were the kings of the world.

00:09:28,261 --> 00:09:31,The Mambo Kings,
as they used to say.

00:09:39,563 --> 00:09:40,What's up, Cabo?

00:09:42,942 --> 00:09:44,I don't know, Guadaña.

00:09:45,987 --> 00:09:48,Something doesn't feel right.

00:09:53,619 --> 00:09:56,Move, son.
Where is Pepe?

00:09:57,582 --> 00:09:58,What?

00:10:00,876 --> 00:10:02,Surprise!

00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:04,What a great gift!
Oh, man!

00:10:05,047 --> 00:10:08,Let's see what kind of stud
we're talking about.

00:10:08,551 --> 00:10:11,Smell it, baby!
Smell it!

00:10:12,054 --> 00:10:15,Get that cow out of here
and bring the next present! Let's see it!

00:10:17,518 --> 00:10:21,Look son,
with a lot of love, you hear?

00:10:21,522 --> 00:10:23,-Open up!
-What is it?

00:10:23,357 --> 00:10:25,Open it, man!
Don't be so paranoid.

00:10:27,111 --> 00:10:29,All right! Let's see.

00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:31,Assholes!

00:10:32,909 --> 00:10:35,Your firstborn!
Your firstborn!

00:10:40,207 --> 00:10:44,-Where did you get this motherfucker?
-Your firstborn!

00:10:45,671 --> 00:10:49,What a great doll!
Where do the batteries go?

00:10:49,967 --> 00:10:53,Baby, come say hi to your son,
come on. Look at him!

00:11:02,813 --> 00:11:05,Do you know why the war
between the Cartels started?

00:11:06,192 --> 00:11:07,Because of a woman.

00:11:08,110 --> 00:11:12,A guy from the Cali Cartel had an affair with
the woman of a guy from the Medellín Cartel.

00:11:13,032 --> 00:11:16,Pablo Escobar asked for his head,
but we refused.

00:11:17,078 --> 00:11:19,So the war started.

00:11:58,244 --> 00:12:04,THE SNITCH CARTEL

00:12:14,552 --> 00:12:17,I hope that will be enough
to get Escobar off our backs.

00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:28,When we need more, I'll let you know.
This could get complicated.

00:12:30,568 --> 00:12:33,My head was somewhere else.

00:12:35,072 --> 00:12:38,Excuse me, ladies.
I'm late for class.

00:12:38,534 --> 00:12:40,-Hey.
-What are you doing here?

00:12:40,411 --> 00:12:44,I was driving by and I thought
to myself, "I should study."

00:12:44,498 --> 00:12:46,You should.

00:12:48,085 --> 00:12:50,How are you girls doing?

00:12:50,087 --> 00:12:53,Wait for me out there,
but don't leave without me.

00:12:56,510 --> 00:12:59,-Why do you look so good?
-What do you want?

00:13:00,222 --> 00:13:01,515...
