some one top bloke in his arms his young system on a way out. and bringing up the rear maria victoria. was. tired and bewildered and most of all they're scared escobar has been on the run for sixteen months and is no longer the all powerful drug lord who for years had terrorized colombia. the public enemy number one lives like a hunted on a mole from his hiding place somewhere in colombia the drug dealer is powerless to help his family but ask about always have an achilles heel his family his daughter his son meant everything to him. his achilles' heel is something the colombian authorities are planning to take full advantage of from the moment they check into a hotel the family is under constant surveillance they've become the bait.

it's just a matter of time before the godfather makes the mistake of fall into the trap the police have set for. is but why does eskimos slip through our fingers too many times it's unbelievable it was incredible. but escobar used to bomb schools soup. markets anyway what did she. get out of it he knew all about the families of the police and you with them all those c.s.i. that fathers live and how many brothers they. maybe

and sixteen years later maybe in his columbia's second city one of its busiest and richest and the country's breadbasket. sixteen years later in the city still has a bad reputation. the settling of scores continues but these days it's between small time drug dealers. and it's nowhere near like it was in escobar time.

as well ecology at the time of the humans a mad house bullets for breakfast and lunch and bombs for dinner. but. you know what people die every day every morning that the bodies near the mountains would call it public cemetery each day that because people would be mowed it off and just dumped on the open ground. there are few people left but well you have to know where to look. so the toss is

to find them. according to some one of best balls formal of time outs is still a lot of. little video from those years still exists. his name is john jairo of ls quiz alias popeye. police wanted posters back then popeye was not far behind his boss escobar when it came to the pecking order he was implicated in a number of murders sources claim that he's been serving time in prison for several gives what seems certain is that he was able to survive in bogota his notorious low modelo prison on the home. life in the old prison was a daily diet of insecurity and frequent violence where the prisoners ruled the roost as cabal's former right hand man has since been spirited away to much safer surroundings. it takes

a few more days to track popeye down no one apparently knows where he is but the system's finally pays off. there is at last some news. popeye's being held about one hundred kilometers from bogota in this modern detention center. it's a high security prison with murderers drug traffickers and hired killers among its inmates. no t.v. crews had ever been allowed inside before it was considered too dangerous but once again persistence pays off and an exception is made. a chance to talk one on one with pablo escobar as most loyal left times. and he's the best person to give a first hand account of his former bosses life on the run. you know he would have

made you have the time back in may they mean there were fifteen hundred people looking for us going to be out of this bellagio is that alessio israelis british americans the colombian secret service the cia the d.a. . everyone was off to look at was get this bit because they thought the island and other hunters had been aboard. by never refuse one of his bosses orders however ruthless they may have been he claims he was responsible for two hundred fifty of the estimated ten thousand murders ordered by a. once there was a very high profile woman that we were ordered to kill in custody not by you know that and we shot and the intercontinental hotel but getting out of the hotel was tricky as we please since i'm to helicopter they opened fire and i was hit here in the outer ring i managed to get home and public himself came over to see me that's when i realized it was a friend not just the boss i had a friend not

a boss the matter you tell was an army of lambs led by a lion i was a lamb the boss was a lion. by the mid one nine hundred seventy s. escobar was at the height of his powers. he was the leader of a group made up of his cousins and friends that ruled the drug trade along side with three hundred men an army of hired killers locally as the sea county us devoted body and soul to the corps these men created the now infamous cartel. a cartel specialized in cocaine. revolutionize the way the drug was transported any means was good by road by m. or by c.

. hundreds of kilos of the drug was soon reaching the united states and europe escobar never seen children ideas to introduce liver is to his best clients in the u.s. even have the submarine built in one nine hundred eighty s. cabal reached his senate becoming the on the disputed godfather of the world's cocaine try. as ruthless as he was derek. barely ten years escobar had come a long way from a small time grave robber he had become the all powerful king of cocaine a godfather whose net worth of the time was estimated at five billion dollars. and almost as if to prove he could do what he liked he pushed the envelope to the limit by having his photo taken with his son outside the white house. he uses his profits from drugs to buy a real estate in miami florida under the noses of the american authorities. escobar

becomes america's worst nightmare u.s. federal justice authorities demand his immediate extradition. he formed a group called us it started. with for them also is a better coffin in colombia than a prison cell in the united states when he declared war on colombia because of the extradition we'd never expect that the sides of that war. escobar revealed his true personality a psychopath who orders the murders of everyone who might be involved in processing his extradition judges journalists politicians police anyone. during this period of terror an estimated ten thousand fall victim to ask about his killing spree or sometimes we will go outside after a bomb or blow up and see

a body parts are seen small children infants that be killed simply because their parents were placed in. such incidents but the colombian authorities to act and they decided to eliminate the godfather of . price is put on his head and he becomes public enemy number one. for the me want to give. us the dr vanishes from site. a french t.v. crew that had been working on another story comes across as in the bush. the subsequent interview was a major scoop and the first time a european media has ever filmed the drug trafficker. in front of the camera escobar goes to some lengths to justify himself and the film follows a lot of. what we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine

period cocaine is inviting the will why because it's a drug that's less strong or less damaging than the all those there are drug addicts because of a lack of education and discipline and. it's the same with alcohol is no difference between someone sleeping on the sidewalk because of drink or because of drugs. or the godfather goes on to pick up part of the american arguments against the cocaine trade see like ok right now it's cocaine that's considered dangerous evil because the americans can't control it economy goes it's the colombians of produce that that's the real problem. in that same year the median cocktail ships out three hundred kilograms a day of cocaine into the united states u.s. officials have had enough and again demand the extradition of the drug store. hunted in his own country and want to buy u.s. justice there appears no way out for escobar undeterred he tries to bargain for his

freedom with the colombian government it's an unlikely bonsa. in june one thousand nine hundred ninety one an assorted convoy of vehicles is heading into the mountains near to a place known as the cut to dry out inside the vehicles whose gunman flank the godfather escobar has agreed to surrender and serve time but in a prison that he himself has built to his own specifications escobar is dictating the terms and his purpose built jail conspicuously has neither prison bars nor keys on the radio escobar explains that he has surrendered for the sake of the colombian people at a moment i thought a good thing at this historic moment when our fighters are giving themselves up to

bring calm to the country i cannot ignore the polls for peace by the last majority of a colombian people like me. and we gotto june one thousand nine hundred one when. the got the drywall is a five star luxury prison with all the comforts of home. and even better than most homes of the time as a state of the op kitchen music centers telephones. outside there's a huge telescope which allows the godfather to keep track of police as they come and go as well as keep watch over his family who have remained in the valley below . during the day pablo and his associates have no time to get bored the cocaine empire continues to grow. to look at that. the prison a cultural was crime central it was where they controlled the drug traffic and the government was fully aware of the fact that when what was going on leaks out it

causes a huge scandal with the president of colombia himself forced to explain he was not a joke what happened he's such cut boss ethiopia intimidation that we end up discovering that most of these soldiers were already. fried. the government insists he served time in a real prison sensing a trap he refuses. one night as his friend popeye and a dozen henchmen escape. hopped on ice skating for the friends there were no police no i want all we want we must have left at about eleven at night and it was very foggy outside when there was a cave is discovered a state of alert as declared after a year in his private prison pablo escobar has once again gone on the ground.

the police realize they need to act quickly as the godfather is on familiar territory and every hour lost gives him the opportunity to disappear for good nothing is left to chunks each house and maybe and its suburbs a search starting with those belonging to his left hand of. the night. but by the morning of the twenty second of july nine hundred ninety two the authorities admit they've lost him escobar has apparently vanished into thin air. in bogota the government says it saw sporadic barely twenty four hours off to his

escape it sets up the block ailed that was an elite unit whose sole tosk is to track down home and its headquarters are in the city center the one thousand strong unit is made up of highly trained on hand picked policemen and soldiers. but come on does make sure that none of amanda from heading in. and that all of them have a squawk to settle with escobar choosing those who have lost at least one member of their families to the gangsters hitman. the head of the unit is colonel hugo martinez as methodical as he is i mean corruptible. but. his number two is major hugo i do yeah his role is to gather intelligence he's a stuff as nails and formerly determined. the americans sent two of their best drug officers to work alongside the colombia is on the ground.

it was the best of the best in going after and we had all the resources we wanted by resources i'm talking about the the the money the quick. the intelligence d.n.a. at this time i created a. tape t.k.o. program which says that we were we were targeting this bar all over the world. many in becomes a city under siege the special unit is everywhere with cock block to do as it pleases sweeping everywhere i'm such in every one. to begin with the dragnet turns up little more than weapons telephones explosives common and often met a year and the usual suspects most of them petty criminals. what the investigators

are hoping for is the one clue the one informant who might lead them to esteban. the lot of. those means that as you and as me going to give reasons. the i'm going to get a big. yoshimi. the rewards of a televised appeals for information make little headway however as whoever might be tempted to inform on the godfather or his cronies knows fully well it would mean the death sentence. as the result months go by and escobar remains as elusive as ever. despite the grind of the danger the such unit has to follow up every lead. off from the unit some tonnage and take some to envy god or the sub of where escobar grew up. people were hiding you know the number list was a robin hood for the people who'd made it with the help

a lot of help a lot of poor he built churches. gave a lot of money to to people who people idolized you know they were guarding him they were hiding. here in this house the police were hoping to round up a few members of the cops out. listen to. him as. unfortunately for the police they arrived too late and it wouldn't be the last time. elite forces well paid informants yet there was still no breakthrough to catch escobar there's a change of tactics with priority now being given to telecommunications. the

americans provide an awacs surveillance aircraft and a twin engine plane to track vocal frequencies it's the first time such methods are used to hunt down one man. it means that colonel martinez and his men can eavesdrop on hundreds of telephone radio conversations day and night twenty four seventh's. then in march one thousand nine hundred three. we suddenly realize we have asked about talking to his son on his cell phone but the problem was that he was constantly on the move. for the twin engine plane that is constantly in the arava many in manages to locate the frequency used in the phone call. a plane was able to identify where the call it being made from on the ground you know so i immediately traced the location on a map of the city to find the exact spot. but i think. the calculations show that it came from a house in one of many human smart the suburbs escobar has to be there and it's

just a matter of rounding him up. the orders are to move in a dorm and the house historically searched. inside there's a vulgar display of wealth and a few stuff that a half asleep. and yet at the beginning this is a guy who does this house belong to a dreamer anna moran who has a name escobar often uses. the bed is on mate the bed clothes. as it seems was tipped off just in time. to. the only people of the stuff in his houses. has now been on the run from his comfortable imprisonment for eight months. he's thumbing his nose at the special units. we missed him at the beginning.

may i venture say when mr moore good good twenty times you know we would pick him up on the radio we'd have the search blocks around the area in we're always you know would always miss and. as time goes by pablo escobar popularity seems to increase. evading the authorities by law co-design makes him into a hero. in the run down neighborhoods the poor all on his side. he thought oh yeah i got it pablo a ham he wouldn't even need to us. is welcome here any time in our heart he's welcome with open arms he will always be welcome. escobar also finds easy refuge with his cronies from the cartel and other traffic goes on whose

loyalty he can rely now more than a decade and a half later most i'm no longer alive. all that's left are some members of the escobar family who alone know how the godfather managed to remain at liberty for so long. maybe they might finally tool. according to some reports his son from pablo and his widow maria victoria have sought refuge in argentina. his brother roberto. and his younger sister. well still in.

the escobar family have been on touchable for so long the brother and sister used to go out quite openly these days they choose to keep a much lower profile. a local journalist helps out by providing the address of ask about system. is this where mrs escobar lives. yes she did. no sorry she's just going out. ok we'll leave a message for her. will . bring you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered. nature and discover it.
