With Escobar out of the picture, the four powerful godfathers of the “Cali Cartel” took the reins of the cocaine trade and turned it into a global enterprise.
Former Escobar rivals Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela (Damian Alcazar) Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela (Francisco Denis), Pacho Herrera (Alberto Amman), and Chepe Santacruz Londono (Pepe Rapazote) emerge as this season’s primary antagonists, as they expand their empire over New York City.
