Block 181, the plot of the first 2 episodes
At Block 181, the ambush of a group of pandilleros to a boy in the neighborhood unleashes a reprisal. Bea, sister of the palabrero Ricardo does not share Victor’s macho and violent guide and is instead fascinated by Ludo, the coca delivery horse, a market protected by Rizzo, the neighborhood boss. Mahdi works for Rizzo, but she doesn’t tolerate Lorenzo and Snake, the drug dealers, just as she doesn’t trust Bea and her gang of Latinos, who steal Ludo’s scooter loaded with drugs.
Bea manages to get the moped and convinces Mahdi, reluctantly, to help Ludo to catch up on deliveries, with success. But not all that glitters is gold: a complaint comes to Snake, who fires Ludo. Bea then, increasingly in conflict with Victor, proposes to the two friends to found their own coca delivery: with a little ingenuity, the three manage to steal a large quantity of coca from Lorenzo’s warehouse, guarded by Rizzo’s men.
