Caray, Caray!

Steve&Connie have just got on a flight for Columbia. On their way there they notice the Bahamas. It's quite an adoring window site (I especially like the filming and locations in this show. They feel very fresh.) . When the couple arrived to Columbia they ran into a lot of issues as they lacked the papers for a cat. The flight assistant was obviously bought. He called in for his boss and the scheme was on. They waited hours and hours until the boss let them through but that didn't come without a price. He scanned Steve's documents and sent them to Poison.




It was also mentioned that Bahama made for a nice fueling stop as the air trafficking slowly became very costly. The problem was no longer demand but supply. Pablo even built large super-labs in the jungle . At that point a kilo was worth 50K dollars. Pablo also had problems with hiding the money. Pablo first used taxis while Gacha used emeralds and gave them to local hookers. This later didn't work out so Pablo proposed to dig the money. They used walls, holes, ceilings and other inanimate objects. The money got even hidden under Hermilda's sofa(Pablo's mother). Hermilda advises Pablo to just move it all to the bank but Pablo declines saying that the bankers are all  bandits LOL.


There was  also an awful scene in which Gacha killed his drug-sniffing dog. Pablo even reprimanded him for that.

We are shown that the coke was now not only in the product but it was the product. It went into drinks, food and even Coca Cola( That was Gustavo's idea).

Pablo's trouble also worsen when a communist guerrilla group M-19 led by Ivan The Terrible (His real name is Ivan Morino Espina) kidnaps Marta Ochoa, the daughter of the Ochoa brothers. Since Gacha was the 9th richest man in the world they originally wanted to kidnap his son but Marta was chosen instead as Ochoa were  very passive. But before the kidnapping they choose to steal a sword of Simon Bolivar( The man that led Colombia to independence from the Spanish Empire.)

When everything started to fail with the money laundering Pablo went into politics. Here we meet a new character, Vanessa who is a journalist and Pablo's secret lover. Pablo used the money for schools, homes, business, sports etc. Pablo's pregnant bride Tata did not like Vanessa very much as Vanessa chased Tata away. Pablo said that it was for her own good. While Pablo&Vanessa were pretty much lovers Pablo didn't let her disrespect Tata. as shown when he almost choked Vanessa to death. On the sideline even Conny joked that Pablo was rich enough to get their cat into country while Steve knew that Pablo's image of a benevolent people's person was nothing more than  a painful illusion.

Javier Pena was also having fun with a fellow stripper Helena. He often had sex with her to extract information from her in exchange for an American Visa. Pena managed to get information about the location of the meeting. Helena said that it was at some hotel and the girls would also travel there by planes. Pena gives the info to a guy in the car. Pena says that the source of his information was Mother Teresa LOL. Connie&Steve were also having sex accompanied by the sound of gunfire.

The following day Steve get's introduced to the National Embassy, Pena and MIL(A group that monitors communist activity). Steve&Pena also meet Ambassador Noonan. Pena informs her about the suspicious activity of prostitutes. Pena also asks for Helena's visa. Pena&Steve then go to Carrillo's base and meet him. They later go to take photos of the hotel that will host a meeting of all the Narcos( Pablo, Gustavo, Ochoas and Gacha). At the meeting Pablo proposes to combine their resources and intelligence to form a group called "Death to Kidnappers". Everyone agrees so the "party" begins. A massive bunch of strippers arrive including Helena who is set to entertain Gacha to extract intel out of him. But despite her efforts Helena failed. She later disappeared so Carrillo&Pena went to look after her while Steve had to stay behind. After Carrillo learns of her location(He interrogated someone by choking.) he launches a raid on the house killing everyone in the house(Helena was found severely abused and beaten). Pena&Carrilo decide to chill out until a very tired Steve comes to them asking of Helena's well-being. Pena says that she is fine physically but mentally he has no clue. Steve demands to not be left at the sidelines. He wants to get all in. Pena agrees but tells him "I hope you know what that means".

"Death to Kidnappers" starts to get merit. Their soldiers raid M-19's residence, killing a majority of the members except Ivan The Terrible.  M-19 releases Martha Ochoa without harm. Pablo's soldiers photograph the bodies while Pablo goes out to distract an old lady with a baby. "You can't go in today because of the smell, the boy may get nauseous" says Pablo. The pictures land in the newspapers giving Pablo a sense of authority. He spares the life of Ivan because Ivan gave him the sword of Simon Bolivar. Pablo say's to Gustavo that he will now liberate Colombia.

We also see Horacio Carrilo dressed as a civilian calmly drinking at the pub. Connie decides to help at the church. When they arrive at home though they encounter themselves with a dead cat.
