Last time, we traced how Mexico’s past built the world we see now. The old systems never vanished—they just changed names. Power shifted hands, but the structures stayed the same.

This episode picks up in the mid-1980s, when a young man named Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo stepped out of Miami’s shadows and into Mexico City. He wasn’t a priest, but he carried candles, bones, and promises. He called himself El Padrino.

From the crowded streets of Zona Rosa to the back rooms where narcos made deals, Constanzo turned fear into business. He offered protection, luck, and invincibility—for a price. What started as ritual and superstition grew into something much darker: a cult built on power, blood, and control.

This is the story of how one man twisted an old tradition into a weapon—and how Mexico’s underworld believed every word.
