it's now clear that album marina had been asked about his coconspirator during the time being haunted or as she puts it persecuted they shared many secrets and to this day she still has the greatest separation. you know is that i've kept all the souvenirs. on time i picked him up from his various hiding places. escobar also had a brother. who was two years old a. video of him from this time his rep but roberto escobar was a key member of the media. he would also play an important role in his brother's flight from justice to speciality was accounting and his name was roberto escobar claims to have been among the fifteen people who helped organize the finances of the cocaine empire. before taking no leave album

arena had claimed a brother can be reached through a contact in the united states. oh i would like to speak with roberto escobar. oh to interviewer don roberto to talk about pablo you would need to speak with i mean you you don't pay some money i don't know how much that. was just you know. eventually a deal was reached for the person we actually want to interview the woman agrees to provide is final but. i low key we don't roberto. is going again i'm a french journalist how do you. find yourself can we meet at your office or somewhere that's convenient. yeah no problem can you tell me where we can actually

meet them. go to the last comma service station i'll have someone meet you that in the thank you very much on. the meeting is due to take place in a residential district in central maine there any condition is no paris. number less decide to film a meeting anyway. betto has no wish to do well on the days when he was part of the cartel and dealt in cocaine although he has agreed to an exclusive deal with hollywood producers to sell his life story. the story of pablo's time on the run is something i'm familiar with. in fact by probably know more about it and most. beginning in one thousand eight hundred 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 with. the remaining fifteen minutes of the interview proved to be less fruitful as agreed to tell us though that while public was on the run he was always able to stay in touch. from his prison cell roberto used a phone that he had missed t.v. set to communicate with his brother. i made a phone to my t.v. set all right rick and turned it into a tougher. visitors would only see the t.v. . my brother any time. i change my voice and ask him. how are you doing what are you up to the right time. june one thousand nine hundred three one year since i had escaped from the cab to drop

a special unit has no idea where he is and he moves around the city under the very noses of the police. the government decides to tighten the screws. it triples the reward and ask about dead or alive is now worth five million dollars . about. 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 pointing his position and. they're going to. one day an american technician that was up in the airplane tells us he spotted a precise position. is located the exciting place.

they don't do if i was corresponding. it's in mountainous difficult terrain. we organized a helicopter operation in the utmost secrecy for the trip just a short while later we hear someone willing him on the radio saying my squad they know where you also go they're on their way to the point it's also about the time we arrived he got. it's obvious there's a mole in the unit a traitor who keeps the head of a cocktail informed instance the police are about to sweep the colonel quickly ferrets him out here to try to give the police here can we judge an. informer was a young police exhilarate there was no innocent skills woodcarver no. figures of police moving out you helicopters you hang around with us all the time the police station and the radio show. the informant was in escobar is paying

using the money to rent an apartment in this building just behind the barracks for the cia and. yes you're saying i was in the. country at the soon as this policeman knew an operation was being organized and he used to run home. using a radio code. of hours left minutes. talk code and say things like tell some of the doctor as they used to. live there on their way making straight for you just said you know basically you got more sense if you so when we were heading up towards the target innocent but sometimes the people's getting past is going the other way. that the traitor is eliminated on the manhunt can resume unimpeded. is it true that the knowledge of our target is

a guy called el chapo according to our information he's hiding in this area. or was the terrorists' hands on terrorists placed all the. way to an office and i want to start going to but i would assume this is a photo album with iris operations and suspects and i think 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 mario custom no alias and just tonight's target. the operation against a chopper is a success and many others follow the senior members of the cartel are eliminated one not after the other. escobar is severely weakened so towards the end as the war

was running without strong. fear begins to creep in and the predator becomes the prey. and a new enemy begins to emerge the so-called group of the persecuted bulls are never seen as the pig who. has 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. in which i don't control. their bosses or to form accomplices of escobar would have enough of his paranoia and cruelty. like the police the peppers knew all the secrets and habits of the leader of the cardinal. the blood letting certain starts as the paper has gone down anyone that's close to the godfather. saw

this change the dynamics of this. war now started worrying about his own family. as he is the same tactics used by escobar by targeting the families. case in points as the apartment owned by his mother is glover not at the time as good as wife and children had been signed nobody has heard of the attack is 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 is devastated and she calls public look she says they've destroyed the 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 i was down for. as long as

a son and daughter in colombia he cannot relax. he decides to something to germany in europe. and the treasury some of november maria victoria don pablo and little manuel aboard a flight from frankfurt on the police escort and filmed by the t.v. crews. escobar breathes a sigh of relief but although he doesn't know it yet but countdown to his iron man has already begun should also be slow see how his wife and kids if leave for a safe country. there will be but there's no country that wants them. to claim goes backwards and forwards and eventually he returns to colombia no one wanted anything more to do with pablo escobar. on the diplomatic pressure the german government's on the escobar family back home on the twenty nine fiesta balls

are back in colombia on the police protection they have no idea they have walked straight into the trap set by u.s. and colombian authorities. tell us a little they are asserting that once they've been expelled from germany and we're back in colombia they begin pressuring escobar in a big way. when they land the escobar family is with the way to a police safe house in bogota. they have become prisoners. the same time to pick a start up the pressure and attack the hotel with grenades again no one is injured . in his lap as about as sterile with worry forgets even the most basic security. problem talking every day it's such a problem there on the same frequency that's how we started intercept and it's

communications. a special investigation unit that's the turning point on the battle every man is mobilized and if it means deployed. in front for vocal reconnaissance vehicles they cruise the streets of medina and an effort to locate the godfather as soon as he opens his mouth. will be quickly as we were listening in twenty four hours a day by that time in the search served our units were in full alert ready to intervene whenever a call was intercepted. on the first of december police technicians identified five phone calls made by ask about from different locations in the city center plainly me and the and it was always on the move in the morning from a car that was constantly traveling. the police finally figure out want to ask about his tricks to avoid being tracked down the fugitive had for months been using a simple but effective ruse of using one of the city's numerous hands 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. then suddenly on day five we intercept his latest phone call and the 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 their superior officer at once. by the way these are the things that he tells me that's it i'm hyper house and right in front of it i think i can

see him inside it and he's near the window with a telephone in his hand. it's a confirmed sighting of the beautiful advancers led by major i. know something else which we were cautious when we got to the house the first time we saw it was the taxi which he used to take. charge and then i had public talking on the phone and said he was up on the second floor. so we was hard i had my rifle i was in front seat we were moving slowly. absolute silence this was your.

i see him. and he's right in front of me. but i will have a clear shot not a boy. like you so i can't for that and then he turns around and sees me and he says what's happening. he drops the phone pulls out his revolver and opens fire. i run upstairs clutching my pistol and i shoot him and him in the shoulder and then a system to play with the a list of. the policeman behind me takes his rifle and it's inspires a wonderful scene you know what people should see here right in the temple the bullet goes in here and exits the. cylinders and he suddenly throws himself through the window. i jumped up to which was difficult because i thought the windows were much higher. i'm going to take the gun away from him.

and then i take the radio call my boss is in the shop. i don't live columbia i want the public school dead. within thirty minutes one thousand member of the special units have arrived on the scene. whole city appears to congregate at the house and at the news of public staff some up lord others are in tears. his face hidden 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 recognised everybody's very happy everybody's very exhausted. you just can't imagine the pressure that we felt had been lifted off our shoulders. much less how the colombian national poised for. one thirty pm on the second of

december one thousand nine hundred ninety three the end of the largest manhunt in history. was popular escobar is buried the next morning just outside maybe ten thousand people show up for the funeral home any escobar had been idle. 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 in the planet's one mystery remains unresolved what happens in the meeting godfathers fost forger where did he hide the five billion dollars that legend has it he was worth. a year c.b.s. done before i think his family has most of the money because a lot of our lowest about money was ever found the whole idea that if you really had all those millions the identity even if he probably didn't know how much exactly even if it was just well how awfully well he and his wife and children would have to be multi-millionaires today and tina other again. we want to check general marks his comments. about his ariz the capital of

argentina. after a stethoscope was widow maria victoria and her two children subtle here in some comfort they changed identities and blended into the background maria victoria changed from aim to maria isabel. was better known today as sebastian marroquin. it took us more than a week to track them down to ask about finally now dabbles in real estate and maria victoria has set up an interior decorating company along with a sob in the heart of political a trendy part of the city. where outside and decides to make some phone calls. to the studio good morning i speak with the best american please he's not in you know when he might be back is he 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 yes get off family in argentina we spoke to a journalist who has been reporting on the family since they first arrived here. if you're going to. the first came here they started hanging out with the locals in particular unaccountably the beginning mary of victoria and he were just friends but then they became nervous monies they bought an apartment and it became a bad enough nasty the more. the apartment becomes the center of maria victoria and her love as money laundering operation. in the media the council begins to travel back and forth to columbia canada trunks full of bank notes this. and they learned a lot of it as a fourth possibly contain as much as four hundred thousand dollars between ninety

five and ninety nine and with barely over four years it can prove they smuggled in at least two million dollars so 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 and becomes greedy and effectively blackmails mrs escobar for no less than five years. and i do ninety nine there's a dramatic development as the entire escobar family is arrested maria victoria a son. 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 then the accountant has mysteriously disappeared and maria victoria has never been seen in public. the next move is to head towards escobar as office building. on. the days tick by without years.

by day for we're in our car acting on a tip from one part. is just to write back and what desirous i would like to meet up. there's no mistaking who his father was they look so similar in profile the father son is white the past from his slight. these days he's a successful designer in argentina. we had two hour meeting with the son of the godfather equipped with a hidden camera. the man who's trying to rebuild his life is not torricelli shy of the media so our meeting is significant.

sebastian. sebastian one paddle 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 it even if. 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 the war. weapons and the manpower cost enormous about somalia. and beyond the cost of the weapons and explosives the considerable amount of money was used to corrupt people. so he bought the whole country off. the whole country all of. our member 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 outside the policeman scolding him or keeping down after their boss of finished they went in to be paid and that's the way it always was one day policeman another day politicians and 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 god or escobar there are many who have doubts over 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. well i can say is if it's true then we must be the west money loaned recent history since if you try and load 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 underground somewhere or are they just illegible. nobody knows about maybe from this woman maria victoria but maybe godfathers widow . she refused to talk with us here the images we have of these few seconds of the streets and what has areas. she has the key to some of the secrets. but he died on that maybe in the rooftop and nine hundred ninety three ago escobar the greatest drug trafficker of all time took some of his secrets to his grave.
