it's just a matter of time before the godfather makes a mistake before going into the truck the police have said. as for what it's going to slip through our fingers too many times it's unbelievable supposing for it to. escobar used to bomb schools soup. markets will anyway what if he. will get out and he knew all about the final is a little piece you need when i am all those c.s.i. let's follow those with them i mean brothers like.

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.

maging hopewell ecology at the time of the year was a mad house bullets for breakfast and lunch and bombs for dinner. and a little kissing. my leg and love most of the commune with people dying every day every morning betty bodies near the mountains would call it public cemetery each day but because as people would be mowed it off and just dumped on the open ground . there are few people left and many in the us go by well you have to know where to look. so the toss is to find out.

according to some progress because formalised ton of stuff is still a lot of. little video from those years still exists. his name is john gyro for less quiz alias help our. police wanted posters but then i was not far behind his boss cisco bob when it came to the pecking order he was implicated cannot number of motives sources claim that he's been serving time in prison for several years it seems is that he was able to survive in bogota his notorious low modelo prison on homs. like for the whole prison was a daily diet of insecurity and frequent violence where the prisoners rule the roost esteban's 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 systems finally pays off. there is at last some news. all by is being held about one hundred kilometers from bogota in a small potential sometimes. it's a high security prison with murderous 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 i'm going to exception is made. for. a chance to talk one on one with. the most loyal left times. and he's the best person to give

a firsthand account of his former boss his life on the run. you know point one million of the time back in may there were fifteen hundred people looking for us. there is that alessio israelis british americans the colombian secret service the cia the g.s.a. . everyone was off the book it was that it's not a space it's not the little bit i don't have to ship you know what 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 but as ordered by escobar. once there was a very high profile woman that we will want to kill in custody not like you know that and we shot her and the intercontinental hotel but getting out of the hotel was tricky and that's why police have time for helicopter i opened fire and i was hit here in the artery 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 i'm ready in ca tell was an army of limes led by a lawyer i was a lamb the boss was a long time. 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 there locally as the sicario us devoted body and soul to the cause these men created the now infamous maybe even cartel. a cartel specialized in cocaine. escobar revolutionized the way the drug was transported any means was good by road by air or by sea.

hundreds of peelers of the drug was soon reaching the united states and europe escobar never seen short on ideas to ensure deliveries to his best clients in the u.s. even had the submarine built in one thousand eighty escobar reached his senate becoming be undisputed godfather of the world's cocaine trade as ruthless as he was derek. barely ten years and had come a long way from a small time grave he had become the all powerful king of cocaine a godfather whose net worth at 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 rules. for 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 was. shot. escobar reveals his true personality a psychopath who orders the murders of everyone who might be involved in processing his extradition of judges journalists politicians police anyone. during this period of terror an estimated ten thousand full victim to ask about his killing spree for

some time we will go outside after obama. and see him body parts here seem 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 a price does put on his head and he becomes public enemy number one. for the. outlaw escobar alias the doctor vanishes from sight. a french t.v. crew that had been working on another story comes across as car in the bush. a subsequent interview with a major scoop and the first time a european media has ever filmed the drug traffic on. a camera escobar goes to some lengths to justify himself just don't fall.

for we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine period in cocaine is invading the well you know why because it's a drug that's less strong or less damaging than the on those who are drug addicts because of a lack of education and discipline as we did he it's the same with alcohol it was no difference between someone sleeping on the sidewalk because of drink or because of drugs illegal or not because. godfather goes on to pick up part of the american arguments against the cocaine trade if you like ok right now it's cocaine that's considered dangerous evil because the americans can't control it because it's the colombians a producer that's the real problem. and that same year the medina khalid tell 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. wanted 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 a colombian government at some unlikely bonsa. in june one thousand nine hundred one and a source a convoy of vehicles is heading into the mountains near medina to a place known as the catch a drought inside the vehicles his government 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 he has not a prison boss nor keys on the radio escobar explains that he has surrendered for the sake of the colombian people. moment i thought he could bring up 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 vast majority of a colombian people. and we got a jew ninety nine he won't know you. 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 art kitchen music center. telephones. 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. during the day pablo and his associates have no time to get bored with cocaine and continues to grow. to look at. the prison a cultural was crime central it was where they controlled the drug traffic and the government was fully aware of the fact. and what was going on leaks out it causes

a huge scandal where the president of colombia himself forced to explain it was not a joke what is happening is such got us ethiopian t.v. danish and then we end up discover that most of these soldiers were ordering more. fried. the government insists he served time in a real prison sensing a truck he refuses. one might ask about his friend popeye on a dozen henchmen escape. up on a stadium for the friends where there were no police no i want all we want we must have left at about eleven at night it was very focused outside when there was skaters 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 chance each house and maybe even and its suburbs a search starting with those belonging to his left hand. but by the morning of the twenty second of july nine hundred ninety two the authorities admit they've lost him as scott has a copy vanished into thin air. in bogota the government says it's sauce for a to every twenty four hours office escape it sets up the look ill that was scaled

up and elite unit is to track down as its headquarters are in the city center but one thousand strong unit is made up of highly trained and handpicked policemen and soldiers. to come on does make sure that none of amana from eddie and back 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 in corruptible. just. as number two as major hugo i do ya his role is to gather intelligence he's a stop as nails and farley to tom an. american to 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 and we had all the resources we want to resources i'm talking about the money the quick mind. the intelligence da at this time i had created a. hate t.k.o. program which says that we were we were targeting this bar all over the world. that even becomes a city under siege a special unit is everywhere with cut off to do as it pleases sweeping everywhere and searching everyone. to. and with a dragnet tons of little more than weapons telephones 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 ask about. those means because you're going to get reasons to meet us you may be going to hurt . your feelings. the rewards are not 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 escobar remains as elusive as ever. despite the grind of the danger other such units has to follow up every lead. often the unit's intelligence takes some to envy god told the sun where escobar grew a lot of. people were hiding in a number called list was

a rugged look for the people who may be help a lot of heat up a lot of poor who build churches. get a lot of money through to people who watched you know they were guarded they were hiding. here in this house the police were hoping to round up a few members of the cots out. oh. i . thought. unfortunately for the police there arrived too late and it wouldn't be a lost time. elite forces well paid informants yet there was still no breakthrough to catch escobar there's a change of tactics the priority now being given to telecommunications the americans

provide an awacs surveillance aircraft and a twin engine plane to try to focal 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 ninety ninety three is going to suddenly realize we have escobar talking to his son on his cell phone but the problem was that he was constantly on the roof. of the twin engine plane but was constantly in the air over made again manages to locate the frequency used in the phone call. the plane was able to identify where the call to be made from on the ground in the area so i made it to trace 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 here not. your desire to move in a door and a house historically searched. inside as a fellow good display of wealth and a few stuff but a half asleep. at the beginning because who does this house belong to a dreamer anna karenina as a name escort often uses. the bed is unmade bed clothes still warm as guard scenes was to talk just in time. to. story people off. 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 to say when mr moore good good twenty times you know would pick him up on the radio would have the surge brock's around the area and were always you know would always miss and. as time goes by the popularity seems to increase. abating the authorities by luck or design makes him into a hero. and the rundown neighborhoods the poor are all on his side. if i know you know if i'm away here he wouldn't even need to us i do 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

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 alone know how the godfather managed to remain at liberty for so long. maybe they might finally tool. according to some reports has some fun pablo that has been no memory of victoria have sold refuge in argentina. says his brother roberto. and his younger sister out of the marina hostel in medina.

the escobar family have 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 sr is this where mrs ask about it. yes she. is she's just going out. ok we'll leave a message for. cutters by throwing color to the front. angered by the country's waging flowing as well cutting jobs and social spending people across the globe lined up against their government's economic policies follow the worldwide action against austerity
