in sinaloa, home state of el chapo guzman, everywhere you look, there are signs of his cartel. these buildings aren't mansions, they're tombs. monuments to wealth and death. these smaller memorials mark

spots where bodies are found. and they are everywhere inside the sinaloan capital. >> translator: they come and kill people here or dispose of the bodies without a problem. i think every month at least five dead bodies are thrown in here. >> javier is a local journalist who covers the drug trade. >> translator: the government knows that's what people do, but they don't investigate them, prosecute them, or arrest them. >> by 2013, the u.s. is fed up with the impact of el chapo's cartel on this side of the border. >> two young people found dead of an overdose. >> police reported 47 overdoses. >> if it continues, it could set a horrifying record. >> the death toll from drug overdoses is steadily rising. heroin use is increasing, and more of it is coming into the u.s. than ever before.

>> i'm not talking about one kilo, two kilos, i'm talking about thousands of kilos. >> there are now eight u.s. indictments charging el chapo with everything from distributing cocaine and heroin to murder. as for the sinaloa cartel's oldest product, marijuana, tons of it are coming into the u.s. in an unusual way. >> you call him the tunnel king. >> he is the tunnel king. >> because his tunnels are more elaborate than most others. equipped with elevators, rails, ventilation, they're especially designed to move large quantities of drugs quickly. >> he hired the best and the brightest engineers. they would build very sophisticated tunnels that were over a mile long in many cases. >> by now, el chapo guzman is the head of mexico's largest and wealthiest cartel.

successfully evading authorities for more than a dozen years. but then, a break through from an unexpected source. >> the investigation was started by an agent who was very, very early in his career. >> the rookie works for matt allen, special agent in charge for homeland security investigations in arizona. >> when you have new people, they don't necessarily come on board with any sense of inhibitions or sense of limits, so when they're given a case, they run it to the ground. >> allen's agents are monitoring communications between people who work for el chapo. and piecing the puzzle together. >> the cartel is driven from the top down, they ask for permission and get clearance before they do anything, and that communication, seeking permission, ultimately is how we led from person to person to person, identified his inner circle. >> they're able to figure out

who el chapo's top advisors are by focussing in on the ones who get important or high level requests. >> and how many people would be on that level? >> ultimately, not known. no, that's part of the success. so ultimately it went to an inner circle of just a few, maybe five, and those five people gave the command and control for the sinaloa cartel. >> u.s. agents are following conversations of the five people who el chapo guzman trusts most in the world. the goal, to figure out the drug lord's routine. get one step ahead of him and set a trap. to do that, they need to find partners across the border and execute a plan. >> now what? >> now the big decision is who do you trust in mexico to give that information to? >> historically a weak spot. corruption and the ability of the sinaloa cartel and chapo specifically to worm his way

into the information network from the government is notorious, that's true. >> absolutely. >> u.s. agents were partners with the mexican marines, considered the least corrupt law enforcement agent there. >> one of the things that stood out in my brain, they weren't going into locations and notifying, let's say the local police. whereas some other entities in mexico, they would notify local police. and the local police maybe there was corrupt officials that would tip off chapo. >> the destination, the sinaloan capital, the plan, the americans are going to follow the communications of chapo's inner circle in realtime and relay information to mexican marines on the ground. around midnight on february 17, 2014, el chapo guzman wants a snack and sends a guard out to

get it. >> mexican marines get lucky. >> he was grabbed. he was arrested. and he cooperated. >> this is the house where the guard says el chapo is hiding. but when they got to the front door, they got unlucky. not only is this a steel door, but it's several inches thick of reinforced steel so they had to try to bash it in and they were using a battering ram, now ordinarily what happens is as you batter the door, the metal heats up and softens and you gain entry. not this door. each one of these come apartments is filled with water. this door did not heat up, and it took them almost ten minutes to get inside. that's all the time t king of tunnels needs. looks like a bathtub, right? check this out. a signature el chapo tunnel. and down he goes.

it is steep and humid and nasty down here, but this is exactly where el chapo wanted to be. look at this. it's like a bank vault door right here. why so strong? because on the other side is a storm sewer so el chapo opened up this wheel, jumped into the storm sewer system and was gone. what's your reaction when they say we're through the door, we're in the house, he's gone. >> i was a little discouraged because we're moving now into the unknown and they can't train for it. the mexican marines could have packed up and said no, bad information, we missed him. let us know when you can get him next time. >> fortunately, that's not what happens. >> we had this information coming live in the united states, and he had to poke his head up out of his hole some place and make a phone call for help. we were waiting on our side in the united states and also they were relentless. ahead, the marines believe

for battle. >> and they stumbled upon these two americans who were smoking marijuana. >> another group of marines races down a hallway toward apartment 401 when they see an armed man, they realize they're on to something big. >> they were standing guard at the door, then they knew that chapo was inside. >> they smashed through the door, flimsy wood this time, not reinforced metal. and there is the most notorious drug trafficker on the planet. the man who has eluded them for 13 years, el chapo guzman. unbelievably, he doesn't put up a fight. when you hear no gunshots fired, we have him. what is that moment? >> it was shocking to me. even though that i anticipated, and i was hopeful we'd get him, there was a great chance during these operations that ultimately when they got that close, there'd be a shootout. >> you were thinking it was the

end of scarface? >> absolutely. >> he's flown to a maximum security prison 90 minutes outside mexico city. for u.s. agents involved with the capture, it is a thrilling result. is there anything else you've done that matches bringing down a guy like this? >> not at that level. this is like something the feather in the cap that you can't compare. >> in july of 2014, i was excited because like peyton manning just won a super bowl, i felt that being part of the investigative team capturing chapo guzman doesn't get better than that. >> at the u.s. justice department, officials want to extradite el chapo for trial on u.s. soil, but that's not happening. mexico's then attorney general says the united states can have chapo, but only when he's finished serving time in mexico, in about 300 or 400 years. he will die in a mexican prison,

unless he can escape again. >> translator: can you assure this won't happen again? >> translator: it would be more than regrettable. unforgivable. >> less than 17 months after mexico's president says an escape would be unforgivable, it happens. >> he's done it again. >> one of the world's most dangerous and powerful drug kingpins -- >> the most infamous drug lord in the world is on the loose right now. >> on july 11, 201:00, 2015, 8: p.m., el chapo guzman is seen in his cell on surveillance video. a minute later, he vanishes through a hole in the floor of his shower stall which is one of two blind spots in his cell. his method of escape, wia tunne

if he had not had the complicity within the prison and within the prison system. >> this surveillance video leaked to tv appears to show el chapo with a television in his cell, raising the volume on it to cover loud drilling noises. the video then shows a split screen of five guards sitting in front of monitors, not reacting. >> the problem was not blind sights, you had blind people, blind people at crucial spots. >> 11 ex-public officials including the former prison director are arrested in connection with the escape. mexico's president vows a more modern, transimportant mexico, setting up an office to investigate corruption and promoting legislation with tougher penalties. only time will tell if these

in a tweet. today i believe more in el chapo guzman, kate del castillo types, than in the governments that hide the truth from me. this is del castillo in a mexican soap opera "queen of the south." her character is beautiful, powerful, ruthless and a drug lord. which may explain why the actress' tweet catches the eye of el chapo himself and sets in motion an unbelievable series of events ending with del castillo holding the rights to make a movie of el chapo's life. by fall of 2015, while el chapo is on the run, they are exchanging text messages, planning to meet. i will take care of everything so you're comfortable. i will take care of you more than i do my own eyes, el chapo types to del castillo. you are so beautiful, my friend, in every way.

her responses seem similar in tone. apart from our project, i'm so looking forward to look into your eyes in person, del castillo texts. for some reason, i feel safe in that you know who i am, not as an actress or public figure, but as a woman. >> it was surprising to me that chapo would have been so uncautious. the guy was the object of the biggest manhunt. he was sending flirtatious text messages to a soap opera actress. >> del castillo insists the texts are professional. >> translator: it never had to do with a matter of seduction. all those texts are completely taken out of context. i want to let him know that we have to be taken care of. in other words, i don't want to get killed for going to see him. >> in the fall of 2015, while

americans and mexicans are tirelessly searching for el chapo, del castillo, along with actor sean penn and two movie producers are taken to a secret location for a meeting over tacos and tequila. >> i was pissed off. that meeting should have been in handcuffs on that day. >> by early 2016, the mexican marines follow el chapo's trail to a town and zero in on this house. it's the attack on el chapo's compound in los moches. but el chapo slips into the escape hatch behind the mirror and runs about half a mile through the sewer, popping up from a manhole in the middle of a street. the billionaire and his guard carjack the first ride they can find. this blurry video shows it happening.

they flee, realize they've been spotted, ditch it, steal another, head out of town and don't make it. one of the most wanted, wealthiest men in the world is found wet and filthy in a red ford focus by officers looking for the stolen vehicle, not him. but they don't take him to jail. >> federal police officers grab him for a carjacking and bring him to a motel instead of the jail. >> the official version, officers bring el chapo to a safe place until the marines can arrive. as usual, there's another story as well. >> my guess that he certainly tried to bribe them, but there's a problem. >> before any bundles of cash can appear, the mexican marines arrive. >> they get to the hotel and chapo is arrested. he's in custody. >> it's finished. the most hunted drug lord in history is captured for a third time.

next stop could be a u.s. prison. mexican authorities have done a 180 and now support extradition. something fiercely opposed by el chapo's legal team. they want him to get off scot-free. >> translator: you can say that i'm a dreamer, that i'm naive. it's not a lost cause. if it were a lost cause, i wouldn't be defending him. >> defending him against allegations of drug trafficking and murder and what he says is a corrupt process. >> his legal processes in mexico have been fraught with illegal evidence. >> and he says the u.s. indictments are also flawed. asked about el chapo's vocation, jose refugio refers back to his 1993 statement. >> translator: sir, i'm a farmer. >> a farmer who refugio now says denies ever saying he's the world's biggest drug trafficker.

as refugio fights, el chapo is moved to a prison near the u.s. border. >> my guess, the most likely scenario, he'll become an informant for the dea. >> what's the chance tt he turns and that he helps you take down this billion-dollar enterprise? >> he won't do that until he's here in the united states, but that has to be no other alternative for him. >> what's going to be the balancing there? on one level, you'd never want to cut a guy like this a deal, but at the same time, isn't the goal to stop the enterprise? >> yeah, that's going to be a tough balance to cut any type of deal. it may just be instead of three life sentences only one? >> a deal is one option for el chapo. but there are others. >> either the mexican government sends him to the u.s. within a couple years, or he'll re-create

the conditions that allowed him to escape and may try again at some point. >> of course he can escape again because it's chapo. harry houdini. nothing would surprise me with this guy. back in 1981, i had the american dream. the beautiful wife, the house in the suburbs and a beautiful 6-year-old son. and one day i went to work, kissed my son good-bye, and never saw him again. in two weeks, i became the parent of a murdered child, and i'll always be the parent of a murdered child. i still have the heartache.
