. a crew. of hotel for three days waiting for some response or acknowledgement of the request to be taught. caution and distrust runs deep in the ask a client. but on the fourth day it was a phone call album marina finally agrees to get together at her house. had been asked about his coconspirator during the time he had been hunted or as she puts it persecuted they shared many secrets and turns day she still has the greatest admiration for her brother. almost nobody knows that i've kept all these souvenirs. these will belong to pablo at one time i picked them up from his various hiding places. escobar also had

a brother. who was two years old a. video of him from this time is rare but roberto escobar was a key member of the middle cotts know he would also play an important role in his brother's flight from justice to speciality was accounting and his mom was about to ask about clients who would be among the fifteen people who helped organize the finances of the cocaine empire. before taking her leave album arena had claimed her brother can be reached through a contact in the united states. oh i would like to speak with roberto escobar oh if there is a b. or don't roberto to talk about pablo you would need to speak with i mean you don't need to pay some money i don't know how much that. this is.

eventually a deal is reached with us and we actually want to interview the woman agrees to provide his fine number. a low ceiling all right so. he's going in on a french journalist how do you. find yourself and we meet at your office will some with his community. yeah no problem can you tell me where we can actually. go to the last comma service station i'll have someone meet you that in the thank you very much on or about the. meeting is due to take place in a residential district in central maine the only condition is no cameras. we nonetheless decide to film the meeting anyway.

but. don't roberto has no wish to dwell on the days when he was part of a cartel and dealt in cocaine although he has agreed to an exclusive deal with hollywood producers to sell his life story. the story of publish time on the run is something i'm familiar with. in fact i probably know more about it the most. beginning in one hundred eighty three i spent most of my time with pablo we were the best of friends two brothers that were inseparable we did everything together including during the time when he was in hiding. the remaining fifteen minutes of the interview proved to be less fruitful he does agree to tell us though that while public was on the run he was always able to stay in touch. from his prison cell robbers or use a phone that he had his t.v. set to communicate with his brother. who. had made a phone in my t.v.

set i had rigged up and turned it into a telephone. visitors would only see a team. of my brother any time. i change my voice and ask. oh brother how you doing what do you have to let me know right then. june one thousand nine hundred three marked one year since i had escaped from the camp to draw a special unit has no idea where he is and he moves around the city on the very nose of the police. the government decides to tighten the screws. so you see the shia they tripled the reward and ask about dead or alive is now worth five billion dollars. about. a

year. the authorities refine and perfect their electronic surveillance powers one of the first to own a cellphone but he knows he has to keep on the move and keep his conversation short to prevent the police from pinpointing his position and. they're going to go on one day an american technician on the airplane tells us he's got a precise position. he's located the exact hiding place. they all day is now of course going to. be featured it's in mountainous difficult terrain. we organized a helicopter operationally up my secrecy cases and bitterly for the troops just a short while later we hear someone wanting him on the radio same score they know where you also go they're on their way because by the time we arrived. it's obvious there's a mole in the unit a traitor keeps the head of

a cartel informed the instance the police are about to swoop a colonel quickly ferreting out here but i will not trigger the police here at which i should. inform i was a young police subsidiary as it was known as a skilled good car i see a little figures of police move you know you haven't caught those he did hang around with us all the time a police station on your way to the right of your. informant was in escobar paid using the money to rent an apartment in this building just behind the barracks for the cia and. yes you are saying and i was. soon as this policeman knew an operation was me logan i stated he used to run home and using a radio code call escobar was left bennett's talk code and say things like tell some of the dr as they used to. live there on their way making straight

for you just so you know basically about what i'm so when we were heading up towards the target innocent when sometimes the people's getting past is the other way. that the traitor is eliminated and the manhunt can resume unimpeded. this is what the no no i joke now target is a guy called el chapo according to our information he's hiding in this area. or was the terrorists' hands on terrorists who claim to talk about. one of us and i want to start going to go but i'm going to have this off photo album with iris operations and suspects. this is the guy we want to catch tonight.

as a complete change of tactics the idea is to isolate escobar by rounding up his key men one by one by your custom no atheist is tonight's target. the operation against a chopper is a success and many others follow the senior members of the cartel are eliminated one off to the other. escobar is severely weakened so towards the escobar was running without strong. fear begins to creep in and the predator becomes the prey. and a new enemy and so we know the so-called group of the persecuted bulls are never going to eat as the pig. is what criminals who had once been a limited cartel that left for one reason or another and they began to challenge

and then fight escobar. their bosses or to form accomplices of escobar would had enough of this paranoia and cruelty. like the police the papers knew all the secrets some habits of the leader of the cops no. bloodletting soon starts as the paper has gone down eighty one that's close to the godfather. so will this change the dynamics of this. war now started worrying about his own family. has used the same tactics used by escobar by targeting the family's. case in points of the apartment owned by his mother is glover not at the time asked about his wife and children had been

inside nobody's heard of the attack as a. one day they set off a bomb and ruined a painting by dali which was estimated to be worth five million dollars as good as wife was devastated. look she says i just tried to dolly what are we going to do about it. gradually escobar begins to fear for the lives of his loved ones it will be the reason of his downfall. as long as a son and daughter in colombia he cannot relax. he decides to send them to germany in europe. i'm a trekkie some of the november maria victoria juan pablo and little not aware of board a flight to frankfurt and a police escort and filled by the t.v. crews. escobar breathes a sigh of relief but although he doesn't know it yet the countdown to his iron hand

has already begun sure will such a slow see his wife and kid with his leave for a safe country. they will go by but there's no country that once the. plane goes backwards and forwards and eventually it returns to colombia no one wanted anything more to do with pablo escobar. on the diplomatic pressure the german governments and the escobar family back home on the twenty nine fiasco bouts of back in colombia on the police protection they have no idea they have walked straight into a trap set by u.s. and colombian authorities. tell us a little they are a certain no once they've been expelled from germany and we're back in colombia they begin pressuring escobar in a big way. when they lie and they ask about families with the way to a police safe house in bogota. they have become prisoners. the

same time the purpose step up the pressure and attack the hotel with grenades the game no one is injured. in his leg escobar hysterical with worry forgets even the most basic security. we're talking every day etc program on the same frequency that's how we started intercept his communications with. the special investigations unit it's the turning point in the battle every man is mobilized and every means deployed. in front for vocal reconnaissance vehicles they cruise to streets and in an effort to locate the godfather as soon as he opens his mouth. the end will be quickly as we were listening in twenty four hours a day by that time in the search served our units were on full alert ready to

intervene whenever a call was intercepted. on the first of december police technicians identify five phone calls made by asco bought from different locations in the city center when lenient the employee was always on the move and one from a car that was constantly traveling. the police finally figure out what to ask about his tricks to avoid being tracked down the fugitive had for months been using a simple but effective ruse that of using one of the city's numerous traps that would drive around nonstop while he made brief cool's from his cell phone. after four days spent listening in we were very tired we thought we'd never be able to track him down. most of the then suddenly on day five we intercept his latest phone call and an amazing thing happens it's a signal from a fixed line so we know he's phoning from a house. the

first police on site confirm the information and brief the superior officer at once . the one where he is here and he came so he tells me that's it i am at the house and right in front of it i think i can see him inside his back and he's near the window with a tough islands hand. it's a confirmed sighting of the beautiful advancers led by major. sutter says most of which we were cautious not to go to the house the first thing we saw was the taxi which he used to take that.

challenge get going to have public talking on the phone and so he was up on the second floor. so we was hardest i had my rifle on the muslim front seat we were moving slowly. absolute silence this was your. i see him. just us and he's right in front of me bill you're not there but i don't have a clear shot not a bad thank you i think for that and then he turns around as he sees me and he says what's happening he drops the first pulls on his revolver and opens fire. i run upstairs clutching my pistol and i shoot him and sit him in the shoulder and the rest of me play with a list of the. policeman behind me takes his rifle and was inspired by me

a wonderful seal a spot of you know what people should see and hear right from the time the bullet goes in here and exits the. cylinders and he suddenly throws himself through the window. just i jumped out too which was difficult because back then the windows were much higher. so i'm grateful would take the gun away from him. when i take the radio call my boss is in the shop. i don't live columbia i want. dead. within thirty minutes or one files a member of the special unit have a right to the scene. the whole city appears to congregate at the house and at the news of staff some up lord others are in tears.

his face hit the american agent steven murphy makes his way through the crowds of soldiers he wasn't about to let the culmination of sixteen months work go by on recognized everybody is very happy everybody's very exhausted. you just can't imagine the pressure of that we felt had been lifted off our shoulders. much less how to climb a national police must be from. one thirty pm on the second of december one thousand nine hundred three mocks the end of the largest manhunt in history. was caught the escobar is buried the next morning just outside maybe ten thousand people show up for the funeral for many escobar had been an idol.

come. off to one corner of the female members of the family are almost crushed as the crowd tries to touch the coffin one last time. sixteen years off of the death of the most wanted man on the planet one mystery remains unresolved what happens in the mating godfathers fost for sure where did he hide the five billion dollars that legend has it he was worth. a you'll see just

before i think his family has most of the money because a lot of how esteban's money was ever founded columbia that if you really have the lows millions the idea and even if he probably didn't know how much exactly it will be even if it was just one of hof lead up was he and his wife and children would have to be multi-millionaires today tina would be. we wanted to check general mazas comments. one is ari's the capital of argentina. after a stethoscope was widow maria victoria and her two children subtly here and some come from they changed identity and some blended into the background maria victoria changed her name to maria isabel one out it was better known today as sebastian morrow came. it took us more than a week to try to come down and ask about family now dabbles in real estate and maria victoria has set up an interior decorating company along with

a song in the heart of political trying to be part of the city. we are outside and decided to make some phone calls. in the studio good morning. because of us american please he's not in you know when he might be back someone is in town i think is on a trip i don't know where exactly is going abroad. but ok well thanks very much. forced to wait it seems a good time to find out more about the activities of the escobar family in argentina we spoke to a journalist who has been reporting on the family since they first arrived. if you're going into basic. in the first grade here they started hanging out with the locals in particular an accountancy of the beginning maria victoria and he were just friends but then they became lovers monies they bought an apartment so i had

it make a bad enough nest. the apartment becomes the center of maria victoria has money laundering operations. in the number of the accounts and begins to travel back and forth to colombia carrying trunks full of banknotes you know this. and you know if he simply your luggage has a full possible you can contain as much as four hundred thousand dollars between ninety five and ninety nine and with barely over four years of going crew face smuggled in at least two million dollars there are some estimates that it could be more than ten million. but maria victoria's love is soon betrayed the accountant is really only interested in the money it becomes greedy and effectively blackmails mrs escobar for no less than five years. in one thousand nine hundred ninety as a dramatic development as the entire escobar family has arrested maria victoria

a song and grandpa blow as well as the blackmailer. they're released almost immediately the judges were never able to prove their wealth came from the drugs trade. since stanley accountant's has mysteriously disappeared and nary a victoria has never been seen in public. the next move is to head towards escobar office building. days technically without years. by day four we're in our car acting on a tip from pump out road who's just arrived back and more desirous and would like to meet up. there's no mistaking his father was they look so similar in profile the godfather

saunas wipe the past from his slight. these days he's a successful designer in argentina. we have two hour meeting with the son of the godfather equipped with him camera. the man who is trying to rebuild his life is not touristy shy of the media so our meeting this significant. russian i call you sebastian or. sebastian. to me is ancient history that was my life before. now your father built up a considerable fortune what happened to his money were you able to use any of it. the answer is simple. the war cost a huge deal of money. my father was immensely wealthy but he stopped dealing in

drugs and invested all of his money into that war. weapons and the manpower cost enormous amounts of money. beyond the cost of the weapons and explosives and a considerable amount of money was used to corrupt people. so he the whole country of. the whole country. i remember very well being in my father's office once i saw an endless stream of important people for example he was inside meeting with an official and outside the policeman scolding him or keeping out after their boss had finished they went in to be paid that's the way it always was one day policeman another day politicians one day i even saw a former president of the republic he would pay off everybody that would say here's a check thanks very much. argentine justice eventually threw

up the case but as the only son of escobar there are many more have doubts of where his money came from. you know we've been accused of laundering maybe what was the figure about a million dollars over a period of five years. what i can say is if it's true then we must be the west money don't reason history since if you try and unload the money that comes from a cocaine trade. one million dollars is nothing just pocket money for a cup of coffee. so what did happen to ask about his billions of a number of accounts or buried on the ground someone already just alleges. nobody knows maybe from this woman maria victoria that my team got five years without.

she refused to talk with us and barely images we have of these few seconds on the streets and what has areas. she has the key to some of the secrets. but he died of not maybe you know rooftop in one thousand nine hundred three and escobar the greatest drug trafficker of all time took some of his secrets to his grave.

sure.
