The Good Bandit (Spanish: Un bandido honrado), is a Colombian comedy telenovela created by Juan Manuel Cáceres, and is recorded in 4K Ultra-high-definition television.
[2] The series stars Diego Vásquez as the titular character, along Carolina Acevedo, and Norma Nivia as the main antagonist.
At the beginning of the plot, he is shown as a corrupt man, dedicated to illicit businesses, such as drug trafficking, bribery and conspiracy to commit crimes.
It is here when he has a revelation from his patron San Judas Tadeo (Julio Pachón), who gives him a second chance to return to life under the condition of becoming an honest man.
Shortly after, it is shown that Raigoso never died, so Ortega is free, ready to completely change the course of his life with his wife Mile (Carolina Acevedo) and their two children.
However, fate will hinder his purposes, when Natalia Peralta (Norma Nivia), his lawyer and lover, and Detective Ramírez (Andrés Toro), try to do everything possible to end his peace of mind.
She knows that her husband is one of the biggest criminals in the country, but she doesn't give it any importance, as she prefers to remain silent and enjoy all the luxuries to which he has accustomed her.
Distraught, she waits impatiently for her husband to be released from prison; and when he achieves this, she supports him in his decision to move away from business outside the law, even if this means that she must give up her life of ostentation and abundance.
When Ortega warns him that he will leave his illicit past behind, Horacio believes that it is a simple facade to "mislead the enemy" and continue committing crimes.
He feels a special liking for Jopini, but knows that theirs cannot be possible while they work for Ortega, because he told them that he does not tolerate emotional relationships between "band" colleagues; this is why they maintain a "quasi-dating" in secret.
Seeing that, after leaving confinement, Ortega tries to evade and ignore her, Natalia begins to suffer from a dependency on him, trying to do everything possible to "get him back", even putting her own personal life and mental health at risk.
In principle, he intends to create ties with Ortega, given that his illegal businesses can represent a valuable economic contribution to his campaign.
He can't stand having to change his lifestyle, since he had always grown up in the midst of all kinds of wealth; therefore, he spends his time thinking about "what will they say."
