For his efforts, Peña saw his own shady underworld connections splashed out in a U.S. When last we saw Peña, he had just committed career suicide by trying to take down the Cali bosses, who were helping the U.S.

Even Navegante - the laconic, Tommy Bahama–favoring enforcer who started the series with Escobar’s Medellín Cartel, only to betray them for the Cali Cartel - is still kicking around. Cocaine shipments still make it to the United States and innocent people are still getting killed along the way. Fortunately, judging by this episode, the new season justifies a post-Pablo existence.Įscobar’s dead, thanks in part to Peña, but the drug business hasn’t changed at all. But after Escobar was gunned down on a Medellín rooftop at the end of season two, Netflix renewed Narcos for two more years anyway. When Narcos started in 2015 with a focus on drug lord Pablo Escobar and the DEA agents who hunted him, it seemed sure to end with Escobar’s violent death in 1993. Much like Peña himself, Netflix has an old habit it can’t kick.
By the end of the Narcos season premiere, Peña is back in Colombia and pilfering a cigarette from his latest fling’s purse. When we first catch up with Javier Peña at a Laredo wedding far from his usual Colombian milieu, he tells an ex-girlfriend that he’s ditching smoking in favor of “doing the Nicorette thing.” That doesn’t last long, of course.
The first thing that’s gotta go? His beloved cigarettes. Everybody’s favorite DEA agent finally wants to give up his hard-living lifestyle.
