billion dollars a year from the u.s. say. yes you know you. may also. be some in and was just fourteen when he turned to crime and he was wanted for murder so he's grandmother gave him money and he went on the run she joined a drug gang and over many years worked his way up to his senior role. in the past now he's asked us not to reveal his real name. into the i will. just come down and i will. get out of. city. me. or will you. both. again stage the fatal accident that killed this man's daughter

somehow his wife survived but it was he scar and he was the real target back then he was a self-styled king of the hill he had money influence property and a family now he's alone but things got every day that he is still a life. and there's growth. for more than a century the night of may second has been special and click on the police remain vigilant but there isn't usually any trouble that people have seen l.o.l. say he has a small beer the himself maintains order on this day he's

a local saint for his believe verse that evening has a similar filter the night before christmas it's not a birth that they commemorate so enthusiastically but the same is death no one knows his exact date of birth he was around thirty eight when he died or more accurately was executed there is now a chapel in the town center mike in the sport where he died it was founded exclusively by his faithful followers there were almost certainly drug lords among them because the law of course didn't say he has a small they're there as a saint legend has it that he took money from the rich and gave it to the poor. this is nowhere the is known by several nicknames. the drug scene. that mexico's robin cook dinner is benedict angelo the poor and weak you know so you know but was he when real there's very little in the historical records to sell for that yes

well here that even existed but people believe there are hundreds of thousands of poles here in mexico who come to this temple and they pray and the house go and many of its people receive what they need to see what they. come to come from all over the country many leaders say they've experienced miracles and returned to think of the saints and. what doesn't mean is that he must be able to listen i. think. that it was a good idea. he told. us well that. this element going in those things that are positive ok joe lieberman are you

giving there is your family children and if i needed those are you going to permit to give me what the person might get. the film to. receive. and. i was just filming just on that with ross and even though there's more there it is not recognized by catholic church just treated like the same here. and it is trying to temple people come with candles you see what there is a cousin a small very fit everywhere but at the same time it doesn't feel like a regular temple it's very relaxed it's very free atmosphere with the dogs it just strain. being used to other type of churches and temples. i'm confused but the same time i think comfortable. in so relaxed in the chapel even drink beer at the altar

and lean on the virgin mary it's perfectly acceptable here and that isn't just anyone full. she's an elected member of mexico's congress she's been the regular help me here for many years. if you assess your looks and know they're there as a member of his family. who will come when you don't. have a yeah i'd rather they go to. the second. later this month yes. if yes we see that. in the voting. a good deal for the most part of most of the.

game. who. will. drug lords. very. cold feet. just. killed. or executed i believe this is a personal opinion. many times a family no or its relative wifes on what do you want to name it.

into. and they do nothing. they used in the us. and that's why this psychologist told me the biggest the bigger the tomb the bigger the guilt. i mean listen this is huge you see deal arms sign over the house are conditioner. bullet proof glass you know any family that is capable of building this kind of tomb they do happen and they do have. what's this is it the parking lot yeah that's the parking lot and if you own cities great for a few. hours it's on. and you get in you can feed easily at least so what think cars here. then cars. maybe while let's say cars here so that gives you an idea. now do you know how much east

each load so you can be a regular once like a lotus like the tiny thing. it's about seven thousand dollars more or less. each one of those just a lot just one single space like you see that the real thing is one space so. close it was about seven thousand dollars just a very sound i mean. it's. like one of those just one you see that that's like let's say let's say let's say six thousand six thousand six thousand so try to picture how many spaces like these they have to i do have this you know the whole property. you know do the math.

you're almost work reflects. the drug culture he writes and sings ballads called readers here's his latest. capitol of contraband. book tour we would not get people on the i'm going to. say all of the only good. work you left. your notebooks with. a little something kept what i got out of the year granted it all out of. your acquittal. and i never will see you. not so interested in the. moment that it's all.

ok yes that's what i mean yeah people think you're. getting cheap just get the insanity of. this but. there are. two cellos. it's traditional among local drug dealers the commission and personal courage to miss and celebrations good friends they can be sun and funerals to commemorate the subjects achievements which might even be embellished a little habits that narco curry does actually encourages. yeah. it will be for let's get them in the pen in the. dollars single with all of us who need all of it and guess what we're going to sit it out a little thought of what i was made to mean don't. cost fifty dollars. she

went. a little hat and there were. only two words. left and. there are some not. in the fifty it's not the mess of the a fifty voters but you know say that our culture of atonement. all remembrance of nuns nazi crimes is wrong that's too much it's the attitude of some people in the. fifty's which by the way is now in the process of tearing itself apart. kind of financial survival job today with the money laundering first visit this cash into three different. is

a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the kleptocracy we just have to give him a call and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for max you know what money is highly illegal. much keyser. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to go on to be press as a white woman for three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the

waters about how. this should. be young man cool and this extravagant most elite would probably have afforded several songs about them and then these julissa lead says you know she doesn't have much time for america curry dos but admits that they are popular. the family takes it in turns to tend to them all julie i'm julie sister and today. money like many people. do. you need to know my head and you don't. owe me one but i know you have seen. the ask me what on my deal yes momentous on one side and yes and we. know you know what i am going to do. there is always something being built here at the garden is

still in my cemetery like in a small city new blocks at b. a constantly there is plenty of work for the laborers here even if they do complain about low wages video and think about becoming a drug lord yourself being a golden drug doctor because business probably you can get much more money here than just doing construction work here it's just building graves for those. records look for the two humanity. how much. i don't know yet. even for a movie at the gate. i am a. grand yeah and a little i hope i don't know what i do you. know and what the radio.

in this neighborhood this gold must be knows the finds. and this is what i was braced. and this is the house where i was born. yet we simply soaker. against the kid from the oldest straight which is true number twelve this is. number thirteen and one of the kids that i used to play itself against. was became a drug lord it's a very high running. joke for two months i became a journalist among a filmmaker and he became a drug lord green how ironic if we only knew when you were a kid if you only knew what it's going to be your life then when he was in one of the most wanted men in the war. or a woman eight. months that thought it was not good enough and said

let me tell you that anything going to. pain you know the blue line it's you know because i have a family that could lead me in the right direction petey have any pines he says he's his father was still when he was thirteen years old so he nor fun and you know there was snow on the left. and that's what happened. so i. gave the cartels are as well called how young do they start in it's real dad sometimes when thirteen fourteen years old they start off as those which means the washington scene although not just one single spot. washington is the one emerged among the soldiers just passed by the day when all you know that there are the

ladies going in that direction so that's usually when they're starting to smooth they move us a. little see. which is like a gunman and then they istar your new movie drop so it's different steps in the charts of deals and. you know. we don't know how this boy died but he was only sixteen. cardenas built in maya is known locally as the narco cemetery it's where a lot of very young men are buried and that's no surprise to anyone their own here about five hundred people a year interred in this prestigious cemetery ill from any drug trafficking was then lena q patient but nobody talks about that openly it's illegal after all if the deceased had a drug trafficking connection and curry does bell it is one way to share his story

regardless of criminal activity. many sons goodman written about his money or the. logically what made him a folk hero comparable to robin hood locals often turn to kids a small there then when they want to pray for anyone still life but involved in the drugs business the legend says he'll help anyone who believes no matter what they do for a living that is why mexicans work as a small there. is no very easy believing. he's. better known. for. its. you can see. so much as. it should be is so long my vision you never miss i was. there.

for the story of what you. see. to keep. the main celebration of kids isn't all there there is only there to make some start to worship him early in the morning just after the night's prayers and festivities after that bin for an hour or two ready to carry on. the streets around in his mulberry this temple including a pact with thousands and a celebratory procession to one of the saints begins. to back up that everyone had

the right to be happy and whatever makes you feel that's fine with their they feel like i drink whiskey. that's absolutely. right. i'm. also makes many people feel good but that doesn't mean that everyone here is somehow connected narcotrafficking director because i know despite a local culture traditionally there that gets the first it's an important local ritual murder one isn't legal in sin or yet but no one is jailed for possessing

a small quantity especially in the public hold the police still on the theory and scenes they have little we want to hear is like a show to run to a season sale or a small gesture of affinity with those who believe in bed with cards. this is very near. where it was that what you call. them. the style of the approach that really this book this. morning is being. very helpful.

it was supposed to meet the press. we're covering. this is a little bit just felt kliptown going into the mountains and it's very well controlled area. we work as you know role people live here. and. i'm just going to say hi to to them in the little. store. it's a grocery store. so i'm just going to say hi just to see if we are just staying inside the car they're going to you know these people express suspicious still come after us and ask questions.

we've been asked not to reveal where we're going next what you mentioned the village where this man leaves by local standards it's a large and fluent settlement the village has electricity and nearby school you can only get further into the mountains in this serious off road vehicle and there is no legal reason. to be found anywhere. local say there are almost no legal jobs here so growing marijuana is normal. from local pope is was first produced in the late nineteenth century it was legal then and supply the same market that it does now the u.c. . do. this is to get. these people a car i called bike and motorcycle and many other things that regular farmers can

they really afford. is looking for good because she's going to go through this phase to want to show it off just lease family like many others nearby because grown marijuana for more than a decade. produces literally thousands of tons of illegal drugs each year. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decades long dead. studying so hard it requires strong. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and paci dead

sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the u.s. . made goods manufactured and sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million. being when it was only about maintaining peace between states as an essentially symbolic value when you have militias when you have criminal groups. this is

a symbol is not enough you need robust force. it's taken these children's hopes. now threatens to take their future. the volcano here could erupt again at any time. most people have a strong choice. live in poverty. or join a cat. but some are following a different. movie so to leave. that point about hope for a better life.

in the u.s. a child can choose an. school. teachers really don't. recruit will says to you if the cadet is interested in going in the military but we don't. see. the pentagon is funding a program to boost interest in the military among teenagers. to step up to. the ball with yourself. you can't go wrong with the military it's a great stepping stone for whatever you want to do but some veterans are willing to tell enthusiastic children a little more they ask me call of duty is

a very popular first year video game. it's play. like call of duty turn off call of duty. or you can turn up for these kids just don't hear. the darker side does the pentagon allow them to be told. just need more recruits. if you're. lucky that. economic development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we

are one hundred six mourning. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike do. over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart a says c.n.n. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that just how a free market works. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society. the part of the government tried to do both at nestle maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not work this is the blues

i'm goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. i over eight hundred forty. got gratitude from the country's prime minister. security. responsibility for a knife attack at a train station where a man reportedly shouting great in arabic.
