of the escobar family comprises to some one top bloke in his arms his young system unaware. and bringing up the rear maria of a tourist escobar as white. and tired and bewildered and most of all they're scared escobar has been on the run for sixteen months i mean is no longer the old powerful drugs lord who for years had terrorized colombia. the public enemy number one lives like a hunted animal from his hiding place somewhere in colombia the drug dealer is powerless to help his family but escobar always had 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. its crew was just about slipped through our fingers too many times it's unbelievable it was incredible. but escobar used to bomb schools soup. markets anyway what if he. will get out and he knew all about the families of the police he knew where 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 bread bosman. 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 as time.

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 often just dumped on the open ground. there are a 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

formal of timeouts is still a lot of. little video from those yes' 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 hom. my from the old prison was a daily diet of insecurity and frequent violence where the prisoners ruled the roost escobar as former right hand man has since been spirited away to much safer surroundings. it takes a few more days to track 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 to the times. and he's the best person to give a firsthand account of his former bosses life in the wrong. you know point one

million of the time back in may 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 da. everyone was off the book it was got. this thought though and when that other hunters had been awarded i was up i 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 will order to kill in custody not you know that and we should also and the intercontinental hotel but getting out of the hotel was tricky as well police had time to helicopter they opened fire and i was hit here in the outer ring i managed to get home and public escobar 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 call tell was an army of lambs led by a lion i was a lamb the boss was a lime. 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. the cartels specialized in cocaine. revolutionized the way the drug was transported by any means was good by road by air or by sea. hundreds of kilos of the drug was

soon reaching the united states and europe as never seen short on ideas to ensure deliveries to his best clients in the u.s. even had the submarine built in one nine hundred eighty escobar reached his senate becoming the undisputed godfather of the world's cocaine trade as ruthless as he was derek. barely ten years as had come a long way from a small time grave 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 up 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 it started. with their motto is a better coffin in colombia than a prison cell in the united states when he declared war on colombia because of the years. tradition we'd never expect that the sides of that war. escobar reveals 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 full victim to ask about his killing spree or sometimes we will go outside after a bomb or blow up and see

a body parts you're seeing small children infants that being killed simply because their parents were placed into. such incidents but the colombian authorities to act and they decide to eliminate the godfather a price is put on his head and he becomes public enemy number one. for the. alias the doctor vanishes from site. a french t.v. crew that had been working on another story comes across as in the bush. the subsequent interview as a major scoop and the first time a european media has ever filmed the drug trafficker. on the camera escobar goes to some lengths to justify himself and just don't follow a lot of. what we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine

period in cocaine is inviting the worley on and why because it's a drug that's less strong or less damaging than the on those that there are drug addicts of because of a lack of education and discipline because you he did he mean it's the same with alcohol and was no difference between someone sleeping on the sidewalk because of drink or because of drugs. or not because. 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 a dangerous evil because the americans can't control it because it's the colombians a producer that's the real problem. in that same year the men to tell 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 on likely bonsa. in june one thousand nine hundred ninety one and assorted convoy of vehicles is heading into the mountains me i'm adding to a place known as the captain drought inside the vehicles his 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 ending 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. and we gotto june one thousand nine hundred you. got to draw 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 ot kitchen music sent. yes 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 and continues to grow. to look at the. the prison a country at all 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 it was not a joke what happened he's such got basi deal be intimidation that we end up discovered and that most of these soldiers were war. bride. the government insists he served time in a real prison sensing a trap he refuses. one night ask about his friend popeye and a dozen henchmen escape. i'm going ice skating for the friends there were no police and i want to be more we must have left at about eleven at night it was very foggy outside when there was kate has discovered a state of alert as declared after a year in his private prison pablo escobar has once again gone on the grounds. that 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 town of. but by the morning of the twenty second of july nine hundred ninety two the authorities admit they've lost him as cabal has apparently vanished into thin air. here. in bogota the government as exhaust ferreted 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 as its headquarters are in the city center the one thousand strong unit is made up of highly trained and handpicked policemen and soldiers to. the commandos make sure that none of amanda from eddie and that all of them have a squall to settle with us choosing those who have lost at least one member of their families to the gangstas hit man. the head of the unit is colonel hugo must tina's 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 farley determined. the americans send two of their best drug offices to work alongside the colombia is on the ground.

who is the best of the best in going after him we had all the resources we want to buy resources i'm talking about the money the quick money. the intelligence da at this time i created a. a t k o. wood 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 cop to do as it pleases sweeping everywhere and such and everyone. to begin with the dragnet turns up little more than weapons telephones explosives common enough and maybe even 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 ask about. him a lot of. those means are busy and of me going to give reasons why don't you read us the i'm going to get. the rewards on the 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 and. as a result months go by and ask about remains as elusive as ever. despite the grind of the danger the such unit has to follow up every lead. off from the unit's intelligence take some to envy god or the sub of where escobar grew up. people were hiding you know a number published was a rock with hope for the people even if he helped a lot of help

a lot of poor he built churches. gave a lot of money to to people so people idolized you know they were guarded and they were hiding. here in this house the police were hoping to round up a few members of the cartel. thank. you from this. unfortunately for the police there arrived too late and it wouldn't be the last time. at least 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 area of amending manages to locate the frequency used in the phone call. a plane was able to identify whether cool would be made from on the ground 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 young smart the suburbs escobar has to be there and it's just a matter of rounding him up. to move in

a dorm and the house historically searched. inside the volga display of wealth and a few stuff that a half asleep. this is a guy who does this house. has a name escobar often uses. the bed as a mate the bed clothes still warm as it seems was tipped off just in time. to. story the only people of the stuff like that in all of 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 were 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 rundown neighborhoods the poor are all on his side. if i know you have got it pablo a hair he wouldn't even need to us i doubt he's 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 traffickers 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 talk. according to some reports his son from pablo and his widow maria victoria have sought refuge in argentina. is brother roberto. and his younger sister. well still a. family

had been untouchable 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. is this where mrs escobar lives. yes she did no sorry she's just going out. ok we'll leave a message for. her . her.
