The drug dealers launched a counterattack, starting to frantically shoot and kill policemen and soldiers. Following Pena's instructions, Murphy prepared to send Elisa away, only to find a wiretap in his car. Murphy had no choice but to pretend to quarrel with Connie, outwitting the CIA's manhunt alone and letting Connie take Elisa away. Fortunately, Connie successfully got Elisa out of danger.
After seeing Connie and Elisa off, Murphy went to Gaviria's office. Gaviria had publicly supported the extradition treaty, and after the previous incident, his security work had been done quite meticulously. But Murphy still kindly reminded him to pay attention to his safety. Now all the people of Colombia were watching Gaviria, and similarly, all the drug lords were keeping an eye on his whereabouts.
Pena and Carrillo led the Search Team to Cartagena to arrest Gacha. Carrillo was distrustful of Venegente's true intentions—after all, the police could offer Gacha much more money than Venegente could get from him. Pena believed that Gacha was not afraid of death, but of going to jail. Carrillo said that Gacha had several times more weapons and men than they did; if they failed, it would mean adding many more widows and orphans. So he hoped Gacha would die. Although Carrillo was not at ease about the outcome, he chose to trust Pena.
Meanwhile, Murphy spotted La Quica's whereabouts—he was in close contact with a Spaniard at the airport. Murphy took the Spaniard's photo to Suarez. Under Murphy's coercion, Suarez told him everything he knew and told him to go to the CIA. The CIA originally did not want to pay attention to Murphy's request, but Murphy told them that this man was a bomb expert responsible for multiple terrorist attacks. Murphy got his wish and saw the Spaniard's file in the CIA's top-secret document room. He suddenly realized that this was Escobar's murder plan targeting Gaviria.
Gacha felt extremely uneasy about such peaceful days and became suspicious, suspecting that Venegente had betrayed him. Gacha keenly detected that the Search Team had arrived in town and fled with his son and men. When Carrillo and his men arrived, all they saw was the murdered maid sitting limply in a chair wearing Gacha's hat.
Fortunately, they captured a man who claimed to be a government congressman. Under Pena's threats, the man confessed everything. Escobar had bribed Jaime from the slums. Jaime, longing for the bright future promised by Escobar, accepted all his requests and thanked him profusely, completely unaware of the fate that awaited him.
Suarez called Murphy to tell him that Escobar planned to kill Gaviria on his plane to Cali. Before he could finish explaining the entire plan, La Quica walked in and brutally killed him. Carrillo led the Search Team to Tolu to kill Gacha, but this time Pena still wanted to capture him alive.
After a fierce gunfight, Carrillo was seriously wounded by Gacha's weapons, and Gacha took the opportunity to escape with his son. Carrillo promptly informed Pena of the news. Pena directed helicopters to chase and intercept Gacha's vehicle, eventually killing Gacha and his son. La Quica sent Jaime and a suitcase with a bomb onto the plane to Cali, but Murphy persuaded Gaviria, who was about to board the plane, to cancel his trip to Cali. On the plane, the ignorant Jaime opened the suitcase, pressed the record button, and in an instant, a bright white light filled everyone's sight.
