bloke in his arms his young system on a way out. and bringing up the rear maria of a tourist escobar right. there tied to bewildered and most of all they're scared pablo escobar has been on the run for sixteen months and is no longer the old powerful drug 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 slip 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 and you will them all those c.s.i. that follow those lives 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 basket. 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.

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 gyre 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 homme. 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 times and sometimes. 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 what he would

have made. of the time back in may there were fifteen hundred people looking for us yet of this fellow there is that alessio israelis british americans the colombian secret service the cia the da. everyone was off the book it was get this bit because it's not the one that other hunters have been avoided. by and never refused 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 like you know that and we shot and the intercontinental hotel but getting out of the hotel was tricky as the 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 he was a friend not just the boss i had a friend not a boss the meddling cop tell was an army of lambs led by a lion i was

a lamb the boss was a lie and. 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 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 god 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 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 the 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 judge's journalists politicians police anyone. during this period of terror an estimated ten thousand fall victim to ask about his killing spree for some time we will go outside after obama. and see him body parts you're seeing small children infants that being killed simply because their parents were placed

in. such incidents but the colombian authorities to act and they decide to eliminate the godfather of. price is put on his head and he becomes public enemy number one. to 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 just so far as what. we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine period cocaine is inviting

the world why because it's a drug that's less strong or less damaging than the all those there are drug addicts of because of a lack of education and discipline. it's the same with alcohol there's 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 like ok right now it's cocaine that's considered dangerous evil because the americans can't control it only 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 to the united states u.s. officials have had enough and again demand the extradition of the drug store. hunted in his own country and wanted by 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 an assorted convoy of vehicles is heading into the mountains near to a place known as the cut to 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 a column give people 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 one when 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 ox kitchen music centers telephones. side 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. the prison a country was crime central it was where they control 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 a cop i.c.t. of intimidation that we end up discovering that most of these soldiers were already . fried. the government insists he's served time in a real prison sensing a trap he refuses. one night as his friend popeye and a dozen henchmen escape. i'm going to escape for the friends but there were no police and i want all we want we must have left at about eleven at night it was very foggy outside when there was cables discovered a state of alert as declared after a year in his private prison the public 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 had made enough and its suburbs a search starting with those belonging to his left front of. the net. but by the morning of the twenty second of july nine hundred ninety two the authorities admit they've lost him as gabon has apparently vanished into thin air. in bogota the government as it saw spirited barely twenty four hours off to his escape it sets up the bloke ale that was an elite unit whose sole toss is to track

down home and its headquarters are in the city center the one thousand strong unit is made up of highly trained and handpicked policemen and soldiers. the commandos make sure that none of them and not from heading in. and that all of them have a squaw 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. just. is number two as 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.

it was the best of the best in going after him we had all the resources we wanted by resources i'm talking about the the money the quick mind. the intelligence da at this time i created a. 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 cop blash to do as it pleases sweeping everywhere i'm 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. their moved up a lot of. those means are busy and does mean going to their bases or don't you read us the i'm going to get a big. yoshimi. the rewards on the televised appeals for information make little headway however as whoever might be tempted to inform on the godfather will his cronies knows fully well it would mean the death sentence. as a 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. often the unit's intelligence takes some to envy god the subway grew up. people were hiding in a number published what was a rabbit hole for the people even that doesn't help a lot of help a lot of poor he built churches. a lot of money to two people people i

utilized 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 cots. listen to. some. unfortunately for the police there 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. of 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. 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 i was a name escobar often uses. the bed is on mate the bed clothes still warm as it seems was tipped off just in time. the only people of the stuff in his house as. 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 would 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. abating the authorities by luck or design makes him into a hero. in the rundown neighborhoods the poor are all on his side. if i know you have got it problem way here he wouldn't even need to us i doubt he's welcome here any time in our home 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. his brother roberto. that is younger sister. well still in. the escobar 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 escobar. is this where mrs escobar lives. yes she. is just going out. ok will leave a message for her. culture is that so much different and there's a huge percentage share apparently trying to mark the egyptian riddle to succeed but what about the revolution the dreaded dictator has now left the scene now the hard work begins to be hungry for the full story we've got in first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. in
