In Season 3 of the crime drama, which begins streaming Friday, Sept. 1, that new player is known as the Cali Cartel, which does business quite dif- ferently from Escobar's Medellin Cartel. Where the latter used violent means to achieve its ends, the former prefers to bribe government officials and keep its actions out of the headlines. They're led by four godfathers: its leader Gil- berto Rodriguez Orejuela (Damian Alcazar, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian"); Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela (Fran- cisco Denis, "The Kid Who Lies"), the organization's architect; Pacho Herrera (Alberto Ammann, "The Debt"), an assassin who runs international distribu- tion; and Chepe Santacruz Londono (Pepe Rapazote, "Shameless"), head of the New York City operation. On their trail are Colom- bian and U.S. law enforce- ment, among them DEA agent Javier Pena (series returnee Pedro Pascal) and two inexperienced cohorts, Daniel Van Ness (Matt Whelan, "My Wed- ding and Other Secrets") and Chris Feistl (Michael Stahl-David, "Cloverfield"). "We're peas in a pod in the sense that we're together all the time, al- though different outlooks," Stahl-David explains. "Van Ness is a bit more cynical and a bit more maybe of a realist ... but my character is much more ambitious and hard-headed and more willing to kind of take a leap of faith than Van Ness is. So we kind of but heads about that." To get a handle on his character, Stahl-David spent time with the real Feistl, now a former agent living in Arizona, who filled him in about the type of work a DEA agent does, which he says is less like police work and more like detective work. "It's pretty much putting pieces together," he says, "surveilling people for a long period of time, work- ing different sources — who's lying to you, who's telling the truth. You know, corroborating different things against government databases in a time really before the internet. So it's the kind of work you wouldn't see in a TV show, because it's not sexy to watch someone search through government data- bases or surveil for like a week on end in one spot."
