low in his arms his young system unaware. and bringing up the rear maria victoria couple as couples right. it's time to bewilder and most of all they're scared couple escobar has been on the run for sixteen months and is no longer the all powerful drugs more who for years have terrorized colombia. the public enemy number one lives like a hunted on a mole 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 have become the bait.

it's just a matter of time before the godfather makes a mistake before going into the trap the police have set forth. as to why it's going to slip through our fingers too many times that some believe it was incredible. but escobar used a bone schools soup. markets will anyway what if he. will get out and he knew all about the families of the police can he wear them all those c.d.'s that he had on that's all those little 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 as time.

will tell a joke out of time with the humans a mad house bullets for breakfast and lunch and bombs for dinner. a little disappointing. but let's head live more cynical here but people die every day every morning bebee bodies near the mountains we call it eskimos public cemetery each day because it would be mud and often just dumped on the open ground . there are a few people left and many in but us cobol well you have to know where to look. so the toss is to find a. according to someone

a best of all is formal of town it's still a lot of. little video from those years still exists. his name is john gyre of ls whereas alias up by. police once it goes back and popeye was not far behind his boss esteban when it came to the packing 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 as notorious low modelo prison on homs. life for the whole prison was a daily diet of insecurity and frequent violence where the prisoners freed 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 a last some news. popeye's being held about one hundred kilometers from bogota in this not of the times will 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 thoughts are dangerous but once again persistence pays off and on exception is made. a chance to talk one on one with escobar as most loyal left times. and he's the best person to give a firsthand account of his former boss his life in the wrong. you know point to

make. up a time back admitting there were fifteen hundred people looking for us as our ally there is policy israelis british americans the colombian secret service the cia the da. everyone was off. base it's not the little bit i think others have been about i was up i never refuse one of his bosses orders however ruthless they may have been claims he was responsible for two hundred fifty of the estimated ten thousand as ordered by escobar. once there was a very high profile woman that we were ordered to kill in custody no you know that and we should also and the intercontinental hotel but getting out of the hotel was tricky and mothers with police and some to helicopter they 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 of the boss i had

a friend thought about the matter you caught tell was an army of limes led by a line i was about i'm 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 sea carriers devoted body and soul to the corps these men created the now infamous midian cartel . cartel specialized in cocaine. escobar revolutionized the way the drug was transported any means was good by road by air or dicey. hundreds of

kilos of the drug was soon reaching the united states and europe escobar never seemed short on ideas to introduce ever 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 had come along the way from a small time grave robber he had become the all powerful king of cocaine a godfather whose net worth of the time was estimated the 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 the us federal justice authorities demand his immediate extradition. he formed a group. for them also is a better coffin in colombia than a prison cell in the united states you were in he declared war on colombia across the years. tradition we'd never expect that the sides of that war. was. shot. escobar reveals his true personality the psychopathic 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 sometime we will go outside after obama. and see him body parts you're seeing small children infants that they kill

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. but no escobar yes the doctor vanishes from sight. of. a french t.v. crew that had been working on another story comes across as a bar in the bush. the subsequent interview was a major scoop on the first time a european media has ever filmed the drug trafficker. on the camera escobar goes to some lengths to justify himself and some of them thought it was a lot. of work oh yeah we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine

period in cocaine is invading the world and why because it's a drug that's less strong or less damaging than the others who are drug addicts because of the lack of education and discipline we did he mean it's the same with alcohol and there's no difference between someone sleeping on the sidewalk because of drink or because of drugs illegal or not it is. the godfather goes on to pick up awfully 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. in that same year the meeting cartel 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 an unlikely bata. in june one thousand nine hundred ninety one and assorted convoy of vehicles is heading into the mountains near medina to a place known as the have to drive inside the vehicles his gunmen find 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 not a prison because no keys on the radio escobar explains that he has surrendered for the sake of a colombian people. moment i thought he could play 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 quite. june one thousand nine hundred one 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 arts kitchen music center. 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 them. during the day pablo and his associates have no time to get bored of cocaine and continues to grow like us 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. and what was going on makes out it causes

a huge scandal with the president of colombia himself forced to explain he was not a joke what happened is such tough boss ethiopian t.v. station that we aimed at that these soldiers were ordering. fried. the government insists he served time in a real prison sensing a trap he refuses. one night escobar his friend popeye and a dozen henchmen escape. hopped on ice skating for the friends when there were no police no i want all we want we must have left at about eleven at night and it was very foggy outside when there was a state has discovered a state of alert as declared after a year in his private prison the public escobar has once again gone underground and . the police realize they need to act quickly as the godfather is unfamiliar

territory and every hour lost gives him the opportunity to disappear for good nothing is left to chance each house had million and its suburbs a search starting with those belonging to his left hand. but by the morning of the twenty second of july ninety ninety two year the authorities admit they've lost him escobar has a copy vanished into thin air. in bogota the government as it saw spiration barely twenty four hours after his escape

it sets up the block ale that was scared up an elite unit whose sole toss is to track down ask about its headquarters are in the city center but one thousand strong units is made up of highly trained and handpicked policeman console jokes. the commandos make sure that none of amanda from eddie and about all of them have a store to subtle with us koba choosing those who have lost at least one member of their families to the gangsters hitman. the head of a unit is colonel hugo martinez as methodical as he is in corruptible. but. is number two as major hugo i do yeah his role is to gather intelligence he's a stop as nails and farley to tom and. 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 our resources i'm talking about the money the equipment. the intelligence da at this time i created a. t.k.o. problem which is that we were we were targeting this war all over the world. body and becomes a city under siege a special unit is everywhere with cock blanche to do as it pleases sweeping everywhere i'm searching everyone. to big. same with the dragnet turns off a little more than weapons telephones explosives coming off in mid am and the usual suspects most of them petty criminals. but the investigators are hoping for is the

one clue the one informant who might lead them to esteban. take him up published a lot of. those means it is going to get. the rewards of a televised appeals for information make little headway however as whoever might be tempted to inform the 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 the danger the such unit has to follow up every lead. off on the unit's intelligence take some to envy god on the subway escobar grew up. people were hiding in a number called list was

a robbery hope for the people who committed to help a lot of help a lot of the poor get built churches. a lot of money to people who are idolized you know they were guarded and they were hiding. here in this house the police were helping to round up a few members of a cots no. such. thing. as well. unfortunately for the police they 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 the colonel not he knows and his man can eavesdrop on hundreds of telephone radio conversations day and night twenty four seventh's. then in march ninety ninety three. we suddenly realize we have asked about talking to his son on his son funny but the problem was that he was constantly on the move. of the twin engine plane that was constantly in the air over many manages to locate the frequency used in the phone call. a plane was able to identify where the core would be made from on the ground you know you so i immediately traced the location on a map of the city to find the exact spot. where every. elations show that it came from a house and one of many young smart assad escobar has to be there and it's just

a matter of robbing him not. the orders are to move in a door and a house is thoroughly searched. inside there's a vulgar display of wealth and a few stuff but a half asleep. at the beginning who does this house belong to adrian moreno moreno is the name escobar often uses. bed is all made the bed clothes still warm as the bar it seems was tipped off just in time. for the. story the only people of the stuff like that in all of its houses. escobar has now been on the run from his comfortable imprisonment for eight months. he's stunning is knows that the special unit. we missed him at the beginning. may i venture say

we're mr more good. twenty times you know we would pick them up on the radio we'd have the search 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 luck or design makes him into a hero. in the rundown neighborhoods the poor are all on his side of. the photo you know if i'm away here he wouldn't even need to ask i tell him he's welcome here any time now heard 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 are left are some members of the escobar family who will no know how the godfather managed to remain at liberty for so long. maybe they might finally talk. according to some reports is some fun part of it is good oh my rehab victoria a sort refuge in argentina. is brother roberto. and his younger sister album arena still is maybe.

the escobar family had been untouchable for so long the proper insisted 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 sister this is where mrs escobar lives. yes she did you know sorry she's just going out. ok we'll leave a message for. from
