Javier Pena and Steve Murphy discuss the differences between the Medellin and Cali cartels in Colombia. The Cali cartel took over after Pablo Escobar was killed, and they operated in a more business-like manner, keeping a low profile while still growing and getting smarter. The two cartels had a lot of hatred for each other, with the Cali cartel trying to kill Escobar's family. The Cali cartel also financed a vigilante hit squad. The clip also touches on the similarities and differences between Escobar and El Chapo, with both using violence but Escobar being stronger and more powerful. The former officers discuss their own careers in law enforcement and their pursuit of high-level drug traffickers. They also mention their involvement in the hit Netflix series "Narcos" and how they helped train the actors to portray DEA agents accurately.
