Their target: a legendary fortune stashed away in a forgotten Spanish galleon, a relic lost to the depths of the Gulf of Mexico since the War of Independence. But the path to riches is fraught with peril.

Cutthroat treasure hunters and shadowy secrets lurk beneath the waves, threatening to scuttle their entire operation. Will Miguel's cunning, Lilí's bravery, and their combined crew's expertise be enough to navigate treacherous currents, outwit ruthless rivals, and claim the ultimate prize?

So grab your map, batten down the hatches, and prepare for an action-packed adventure that'll leave you breathless!

A seemingly routine police stop throws Miguel and his crew into chaos in the latest episode of Netflix's action-adventure series, 'Bandidos'.

While on the way to their hidden treasure location, the group encounters a roadblock they hadn't anticipated. What appears to be a standard check turns sinister as it becomes clear the police are waiting specifically for them.

Quick-thinking Lily springs into action, deploying a fire extinguisher to create a diversion and facilitate a daring escape. The ensuing chase throws them off-course, forcing them to abandon the main road and navigate a more treacherous path.

Meanwhile, a mysterious figure lurks in the shadows, eagerly awaiting Miguel's arrival. As the team dives into a hidden pool believed to conceal the treasure, dreams of newfound wealth fill the air. However, their jubilation is short-lived.

Technical difficulties plague their search, and their carefully laid plan suffers a devastating blow when Wilson, a key member stationed on lookout duty, is captured by the enigmatic stranger and his goons. 

With one less member and another obstacle thrown in their path, Miguel's team faces a critical setback. When the stranger asks him for the stone he found where the treasure was located, Miguel without thinking swallows it and shows his tongue to him. 

Will they be able to overcome these unforeseen challenges and secure the treasure, or will their ambitions sink to the bottom of the pool? The journey should bring more secrets and challenges to the fore in the following episodes.

'Bandidos' is now available for streaming on Netflix
