4:43 pm
subsequent interview was a major scoop on the first time a european media has a film of the drug trafficker. on the camera escobar goes to some lengths to justify himself just dump a lot of. what we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine period cocaine is invading the world why because it's a drug that's less strong or less damaging than the others and there are drug addicts because of a lack of education and discipline and. it's the same with alcohol 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 off the american arguments against the cocaine trade say like ok right now it's cocaine that's considered dangerous evil because the americans can't control it because it's that along in
4:44 pm
the produce that that's the real problem. in that same year the many in ca tell ships out three hundred kilograms a day of cocaine into the united states u.s. officials have had enough and again demanding extradition of the drugs. hunted in his own country and wanted by u.s. justice there appears no way out for scott undeterred he tries to bargain for his freedom with the colombian government it's on him likely pasta. in june one thousand nine hundred ninety one and assorted convoy of vehicles is heading into the mountains near medina to a place known to have the catheter out inside a vehicle his gun on the flank the godfather escobar has agreed to surrender and serve time but in
4:45 pm
a prison that he himself don't to his own specifications escobar is dictating the terms and his purpose built jail conspicuously has not a prison daws no keys on the radio escobar explains that he has surrendered for the sake of a coming to. the moment i thought he could at this historic moment when our fighters are giving themselves up to bring calm to the country i cannot ignore the coals for peace by the vast majority of a colombian people. i meet out of june one thousand nine hundred one you. got to draw is a five star luxury prison with all the comforts of farm. and even better than most homes of the time as a state of the art kitchen music center. telephone. outside has 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 them

. during the day and his associates have no time to get bored of cocaine and it continues to grow. to look at. the prison a country 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 when the president of colombia himself forced to explain it was not a joke what happened he's such a pos you tube intimidation that we end up that most of these soldiers were already. fried. the government insists he served time in a real prison sensing a trap and he refuses. one night escobar his friend popeye and
4:47 pm
a dozen henchmen escaped. pablo and i stayed for the friends where 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 chaos has discovered a state of alert as declared after a year in his private prison 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 chops each house admit eighteen and its suburbs a search starting with those belonging to his left thumb. but by the morning of the twenty second of july nine hundred ninety two the authorities admit they've lost him escobar has a power to be banished and to finance.
4:48 pm
in bogota the government as it saw sprightly barely twenty four hours off to his escape it sets up the block ale that was data and elite unit whose sole toss is to track down home and skybox its headquarters are in the city center but one thousand strong unit is made up of highly trained and hand-picked police not console jokes. but come on does make sure that none of the mandate from medicaid and that all of them have a swore to subtle with esko by choosing those who have lost at least one member of their families to the gangsters hit man. the head of the unit is colonel hugo martinez as methodical as he is even corruptible.
4:49 pm
strongest. but. his number two is major hugo i do ya his role is to gather intelligence he says tough as nails and farley just a moment. the americans sent two of their best drug officers to work alongside the columbia on the ground. it was the best of the best in going after and we had all the resources we wanted the resources i'm talking about the money the quick. the intelligence da at this time i created a. tape t.k.o. problem which is that we were we were targeting this war all over the world. maybe it becomes a city under siege the special unit is everywhere with cock blondish so there was
4:50 pm
a pleases sweeping everywhere and such in every one. of the. and with the dragnets turns up little more than weapons telephones and explosives common enough in maybe a year and the usual suspects most of the petty criminals. what the investigators are hoping for is the one clue one informant who might lead them to esteban. if. they moved up published a lot of. those means it is you me going to get patients or don't you read us you me going to give. me. the rewards on the televised appeals for information make little headway however as whoever might be times which would form a godfather or 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
4:51 pm
the danger the searching his has to follow up every lead. off on the unit's intelligence take something envy gado the song about where escobar grew up. people were hiding in a number published what was a rough week for people who maybe doesn't help a lot of you help a lot of the poor who build churches. a lot of money to people who are you know what's you know they were brought in here they were hiding. here in this house that the police were helping to round up a few members of the cots out. to come. out. unfortunately for the police they arrived too late and it
4:52 pm
wouldn't be the last time. elite force says well paid informants yet there was still no breakthrough to catch escobar there's a change of tactics 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 ask about talking to his son on his cell phone really a problem was that he was constantly aloof. of the twin engine plane but is constantly in the air over a million manages to locate the frequency used in the phone call. the plane was
4:53 pm
able to identify where the call again made from the ground so i immediately traced the location on a map of the city to find the exact spot. where i think. the calculations show that it came from a house in one of many young smart a suburbs escobar has to be there and it's just a matter of rounding him off. the orders are to move in a pool and the house historically searched. inside there's a vulgar display of wealth and a few stuff but a half asleep. here that i think if you get this is a guy who does this house belong to adrian moreno ran over the name ask about often uses. the bed is on mate the bed clothes still warm as good or it seems was tip top just in time.
4:54 pm
the only people of the stuff like that in all of his houses. escobar has now been on the run from his comfortable imprisonment for eight months. he's thumbing his nose at the special units. we missed them at the beginning. i mean i venture to say when mr moore good. twenty times you know we were on the radio we'd have the surge walks around the area and we're always you know we'd always miss and. as time goes by pablo escobar popularity seems to increase. the baiting the authorities by a lot co-design makes him into a hero. and a run down neighborhoods the poor are all on his side.
4:55 pm
if i go you know if i'm away 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. on 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 were low don't know how the godfather managed to remain at liberty for so long. maybe they might finally talk.
4:56 pm
according to some reports their son and his widow maria victoria have sought refuge in argentina. says his brother roberto. suro his younger sister marie not hostility. the escobar family had been untouchable for so long the proper 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 sister. is this where mrs escobar lives. yes she did no sorry she's just going out. ok we'll leave a message for. a
4:57 pm
very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the. street they are . even chance a good chance to choose seems to get with the status of the human experiment people will see weakness you will probably see this rap music because it snows moves slowly trying to make sense of political economy and it's all changed things as financial templates each of the releases clamoring to maintain a confidence in markets and economics wants to be seen trade imbalances with the cheapie nations close to collapsing as sub prime loan foreclosed homes. some fail swivel a banks again feel a little like think is a us crisis timonen. feeling it seems to me is like putting it in a closet in athens greece the i mean i'm just programs increase the total economy.
4:58 pm
