Season 1

  • Carillo and his men rescuing Pena‘s informatant from the sicarios and killing one of them just as he is about to rape her.
  • Search Bloc tracking down and killing Gacha and his son.
  • The Colombian Special Forces breaching La Catedral and swiftly take out the prison guards on Escobar's payroll and the sicarios he left behind while rescueing Sandoval, without taking a single casualty.

Season 2

  • An evil moment, but Escobar and the cartel playing the Search Bloc for fools and ambushing them is impressive.
    • Carillo defying Pablo in his last moments and calling him a coward to his face.
  • One of Judy's underboss tries to sway a supposed independent druglord to his side by telling him how weak Pablo currently is and how they can use this opportunity to overthrow him. Cue Pablo entering the scene, revealing that the druglord actually works for him and letting the poor guy know just how wrong he is.
  • Peña needs backup but the Seach Bloc needs the absurdly slow authorization from Bogotá, so he calls in several assorted rivals of Pablo (The Cali Cartel, the Autodefensas...) and boy do they kick asses, explosives to breach doors, smoke grenades, snipers on point and all.
  • Los Pepes' raid on Pablo's home. Aside from being a flawlessly done, four-minute example of The Oner, it showcases the Badass Army nature of Los Pepes, plus Escobar's own Rank Scales with Asskicking nature, as he wields an assault rifle against them and racks up an impressive body count. While in a silly golf sweater.
  • Escobar going Guns Akimbo in a last stand.

    Kiki: I won't make it out of here alive, I'm a dead man. But so are you.
