rachael. kohn again this is elsie coming to life for most of the headlines. the military takes charge of egypt and while the west hailed the ousting of the president as a triumph analysts wonder just how much of an american agenda that new democracy will unfold. in the potentially the next american president as well as that bold plan for the country i would build a conservative party conference and. be council creel be one hundred experimental mission has made a simulated landing on mars and that voyage with a pick a foreign owned business traced my passport trip to moscow. as the headlines up

next reveal the story of the rise and fall of the colombian drug lord. the crew kicks its heels in a hotel for three days waiting for some response or acknowledgement to the requests to me top. caution and distrust runs deep in the ask about plan. but on the fourth day there's a phone call album arena finally agrees to get together at her house. it's now learned that album arena had been asked about his coconspirator during the time he had been hunted or as she puts it persecuted they shared many secrets and to this day she still has the greatest admiration for her brother. almost nobody knows that i have kept all these souvenirs. these all belong to pablo at one time i

picked them up from his various hiding places. so i had a brother. who was two years old a. video of him from this time is red but roberto escobar was a key member of the medina. he would also play an important role in his brother's flight from justice his speciality was accounting and his memoirs claims to have been among the fifteen people who helped organize the finances of the cocaine empire. before taking a leave album arena had claimed her brother can be reached through a contact in the united states. however would like to speak with. outer interviewer don roberto to talk about public we would need to speak with i mean you'd also need to pay some money i don't

know how much the. sistine chapel. eventually a deal is reached with a person we actually want to interview the woman agrees to provide his fine number . and yellow sea with the roberto little if. he's going to. french journalist how do you. find yourself and we meet at your office or somewhere that's convenient. yeah no problem well can you tell me where we can actually meet them or go to the last promise of a station i'll have someone meet you that evening that thank you very much don roberto. the meeting is due to take place in a residential district in central my being the only condition is no cameras. we nonetheless decided to film the meeting anyway. and it's not

a. gun roberto has no wish to dwell on the days when he was part of the cartel and dealt in cocaine although he has agreed to an exclusive deal with hollywood producers to sell his life story. the story of pablo's time on the run is something i'm familiar with. in fact i probably know more about it than most don't know what is on the. beginning in one thousand nine hundred three i spent most of my time with pablo we were the best of friends two brothers that were inseparable and we did everything together including during the time when he was in hiding but. the remaining fifteen minutes of the interview proved to be less fruitful he does agree to tell us though that while the public was on the run he was always able to stay in touch. from his present cell roberto used a phone that he hit list t.v.

set to communicate with his brother. and made a phone in my t.v. set i bring this up and turned it into a telephone. visitors would only see the t.v. . loudly to talk with my brother any time. i change my voice and ask him. oh brother how you doing what are you up to everything all right them. june one thousand nine hundred three marked one year since i had escaped from the crowd to draw. a special unit has no idea where he is and he moves around the city under the very noses of the police. the government decides to tighten the screws. so you see the shia it triples the reward and ask about dead or alive is now worth five million dollars absolute.

the authorities refine and perfect their electronic surveillance escobar is one of the first to own a cell phone but he knows he has to keep on the move and keep his conversation short to prevent the police from pinpointing his position and. they can only go on one day an american technician who was up in the airplane tells us he's got a precise position. he's located the exact kind in place he was so i suspect i mean. they aren't there. it's in mountainous difficult terrain. we organized a helicopter operation in the up and i secrecy was just a short while later we hear someone warning him on the radio saying. they know where you also go they're on their way. by the time we arrived he'd gone.

it's obvious there's a mole in the unit a traitor who keeps the head of a cartel informed the instant the police are about to swoop. the colonel quickly ferrets i'm out here to. inform i was a young police exhilarated who was known as a skilled wood carver. little figures of police move you know you have a cop has he said he'd hang around with us all the time at the police station and. the informant was in escobar as paid using the money to rent an apartment in this building just behind the barracks and. soon as this policeman knew an operation was being organized he used to run home. using a radio code. left on a school and talk code and say things like tell some doctor

as they used to. live there on their way making straight for you. so when we were heading up towards the target a little book and sometimes see people's about getting past going the other way. that the traitor is eliminated and the manhunt can resume unimpeded. but the knowledge of how target is a guy called el chapo what into our information he's hiding in this area troll or was the terrorist hands on terrorists guy who plays ball the ball. kind of person i want to start going to a couple of minutes here on this photo album with i have various operations and

suspects. and i think this is the guy we want to catch tonight. as a complete change of tactics the idea is to isolate escobar by rounding up his key men one by one man your customer know alias and is termites target. the operation against is a success and many others follow the senior members of the cartel are eliminated one off to the other public escobar is severely weakened so towards the end escobar was running without strong. fear begins to creep in and the predator becomes the prey. and a new enemy begins to emerge the so-called group of the persecuted as i know it as the. criminals who had once been

a limited and cartel that left for one reason or another and they began to challenge and then fight as. their bosses a to form accomplices of escobar who'd had enough of his paranoia and cruelty. and like the police the peppers knew all the secrets some habits of the leader of the cartel. the bloodletting soon starts as the paper has gone down anyone that's close to the godfather of soul this changed the dynamics of this esquire now started worrying about his own family. in the past has used the same tactics used by escobar by targeting the families. case in point as the apartment owned by

his mother is blown up at the time ask about his wife and children had been inside nobody is hurt but the attack is on. one day they set off a bomb and it ruined a painting by dali which was estimated to be worth five million dollars as wife is devastated and she calls look she says they've destroyed the dolly what are we going to do about it. gradually escobar begins to fear for the lives of his loved ones it will be the reason of his downfall. as long as a son and daughter in colombia he cannot relax. he decides to send them to germany in europe. on the twenty seventh of november maria victoria on pablo and little manuel aboard a flight to frankfurt on the police escort and filmed by the t.v. crews. escobar breathes

a sigh of relief but although he doesn't know it yet but countdown to his iron hand has already begun sure pull such a slow sea hold his wife and kid with his leave for a safer country. there will be more but there's no country that once on. a. plane goes backwards and forwards and eventually he returns a colombian no one wanted anything more to do with pablo escobar. on the diplomatic pressure the german government sunday escobar family back home on the twenty nine fiasco back in colombia on the police protection they have no idea they have walked straight into the trap set by u.s. and colombian authorities. tell us a little they are asserting that once they'd been expelled from germany and what back in colombia they'd begin pressuring escobar in a big way. when they land the escobar family is whisked

away to a police safe house in bogota. they have become prisoners. at the same time the peppers step up the pressure and attack the hotel with grenades over a game no one is injured. in his lap as hysterical with forgets even the most basic security. problem we're talking every day at six o'clock am there on that same frequency and that's how we started intercepting his communications. with a special investigation unit it's the turning point in the battle every man is mobilized and every means deployed. in front for vocal reconnaissance vehicles they cruise the streets of midian in an effort to locate the godfather a soon as he opens his mouth. is the end will be quickly as we were listening in twenty four

hours a day by that time in the such sorry units were in full alert ready to intervene whenever a call was intercepted. on the fuss of december police technicians identify five phone calls made by ask about from different locations in the city center d.m.v. when lenient it was always on the move calling from a car that was constantly traveling. the police finally figure out want to ask about his tricks to avoid being tracked down the fugitive had for months being using a simple but effective ruse that of using one of the city's numerous caps that would drive around nonstop while he made brief cool's from his cell phone. after four days spent listening in we were very tired we thought we'd never be able to track him down. but then suddenly on day five we intercept his latest phone call and an amazing thing happens it's a signal from

a fixed line so we know he's phoning from a house. the first police on site confirm the information and brief their superior officer at once. the one where he is here in the thing so he tells me that's it i'm at the house i'm right in front of it i think i can see him inside his back and he's near the window with a telephone in his hand. it's a confirmed sighting and the unit advances led by major agri ya. know sutter says that most of which we were cautious let me go to the house the first thing we saw was the taxi which he used to take in that unocal many.

school talent and then i had public talking on the phone and he was up on the second floor. most of us had we was heartless i had my rifle on the muslim front seat we were moving him slowly. absolute silence this boss your. back i see him. to stop us and he's right in front of me better you're not there but i will have a clear shot we will not deploy i spat at you so i can't for that and then he turns around as he sees me and he says what's happening and he drops the phone pulls out his revolver and opens fire yet of course i run upstairs clutching my pistol and i

shoot him and say to mr shoulder and then assist the debate with the door unless. he yells any policeman behind me takes his rifle and there's some files a wonderful scene in the play when people should sit here right in the temple the bullet goes in here and exits the. cylinders and he suddenly throws himself through the window. just sell books. i jumped out too which was difficult because back then the windows were much higher. so i moved forward that was take the gun away from him. and then i take the radio call my bosses and shout. b i don't live columbia i want the public school ablow is dead. within thirty minutes all one thousand men of the special unit have arrived on the scene the whole city appears to congregate at the house and at the news of public

death some up lord others are in tears. his face hidden an american agent steven murphy makes his way through the crowds of soldiers he wasn't about to let the culmination of sixteen months work go by on recognized everybody was very happy everybody's very exhausted. you just can't imagine the pressure that we felt had been lifted off our shoulders much less how the colombian national police must for. one thirty pm on the second of december one thousand nine hundred three marks the end of the largest manhunt in history. was popular escobar is buried the next morning just outside maybe

ten thousand people show up for the funeral home any escobar had been idled. off to one corner of the female members of the family almost crushed as the crowd tries to touch the coffin one last time. sixteen years off of the death of the most wanted man on the planet one mystery remains unresolved what happened to the maybe god father's fost fortune where did

he hide the five billion dollars that legend has it he was worth. ilchi a you'll see i think his family has most of the money because none of his money was ever found the columbia that if he really had all those millions and even if he probably didn't know how much exactly even if it was just wealth offaly couples he and his wife and children would have to be multi-millionaires today tina. we want to just check general mazas comments. one is arias the capital of argentina . after his death escobar as widow maria victoria and her two children subtle here and some comfort and they changed identities and blended into the background maria victoria changed her name to maria is about juan pablo is better known today as sebastian morrow came. it took us more than a week to try to come down yes cut off family now dabbles in real estate and maria

victoria has set up an interior decorating company along with a song in the heart of palermo a trendy part of the city. where outside and decide to make some phone calls. to the studio good morning guys. it was a best american please he's not in you know when he might be back is he in town i think is on a trip i don't know where exactly is going to board. ok well thanks very much. forced to wait it seems a good time to find out more about the activities of the family in argentina we spoke to a journalist who has been reporting on the family since they first arrived. if you're going to beijing. when i first came here they started hanging out with the locals in particular an accountant at the beginning maria victoria and he were just

friends but then they became lovers families they bought an apartment and it became a bad love nest. the apartment becomes the center of maria victoria and her love as money laundering operations. in libya the accountant begins to travel back and forth to colombia carrying trunks full of banknotes and. the luggage has a fold possibly and contain as much as four hundred thousand dollars between ninety five in one thousand nine and with barely over four yes it's been proved they smuggled in at least two million dollars but there are some estimates that it could have been more than ten million. but maria victoria's love is certain betrayed the accountant is really only interested in the money he becomes greedy and effectively blackmails mrs escobar for no less than five years. in one thousand nine hundred

nine there's a dramatic development as the entire escobar family is arrested maria victoria juan pablo as well as the blackmailer. they're released almost immediately the judges were never able to prove their wealth came from the drugs trade. since then the accountant has mysteriously disappeared and maria victoria has never been seen in public. the next move is to head towards escobar office building. the days tick by without news. by day four we're now caught acting on a tip from one pablo who's just arrived back in what is iris and would like to meet up.

there's no mistaking who his father was they look so similar in profile the godfather saw his wipe the past from his slate. these days he's a successful designer in argentina. we had two hour meeting with the son of the godfather equipped with a hidden camera. the man who's trying to rebuild his life is notoriously shy of the media so our meeting is significant. and i call you sebastian zero zero one pablo. said asked him one problem to me is ancient history that was my life before. now your father built up a considerable fortune what happened to his money where you able to use any of it.

the answer is simple. the war custom huge deal of money. my father was immensely wealthy but he stopped dealing in drugs and invested all of his money into that war . the weapons and the manpower cost enormous amounts of money. and be on the cost of the weapons and explosives and a considerable amount of money was used to corrupt people. so he bought the whole country off. yeah the whole country. i remember very well being in my father's office once i saw an endless stream of important people for example he was inside meeting with an official and outside the policeman scolding him were keeping god after the boss had finished they went in to be paid and that's the way it always was one day policeman and i with a politician's one day i even saw a former president of the republic he would pay off everybody that would say is a check thanks very much. argentine justice eventually threw

up the case but as the only sort of problem escobar there are many who have doubts over where his money came from. you know we've been accused of laundering maybe what was the figure about a million dollars over a period of five years. i can say is if it's true then we must be the worse money launderers in history since if you try and loan the money that comes from a cocaine trade. one million dollars is nothing just pocket money for a cup of coffee. so what did happen to escobar is billions of a number of accounts all buried underground somewhere. or are they just alleging. nobody knows about maybe from this woman maria victoria the medina got father's widow.

she refused to talk with us and very images we have of these few seconds in the streets and what has areas. she has the key to some of the secrets. but he died a lot maybe you know rooftop in one thousand nine hundred three escobar the greatest drug trafficker of all time took some of his secrets to his grave.
