IN THE LAST YEARS OF HIS LIFE,
PABLO ESCOBAR FOI

THE MOST FEARED NARCOTRAFICANTE
AND SEARCHED IN THE WORLD

THROUGH TELEPHONE CONVERSES
INTERCEPTED

FOR THE COLOMBIAN AUTHORITIES
AND AMERICANS, WE'LL HEAR YOU

AND UNDERSTAND YOUR MIND
CRIMINAL AND ITS MODUS OPERANDI

THE SOUND TO FOLLOW IS THE VOICE OF PABLO ESCOBAR.

HE HAS BEEN THE MOST FEARED FUGITIVE
AND A PUBLIC ENEMY

AFTER HANGING A WAR OF TERROR
AGAINST ALL COLOMBIA

THIS IS THE REGRESSIVE COUNT
OF HIS LAST NINE YEARS OF LIFE

I consider myself a happy man.

I'm always happy, optimistic.
I always have faith in life.

Pablo Escobar has hit the whole city.

What I saw was a father.
much loved by people.

You consider yourself
the Robin Hood of Antioch?

In our country, came to power

the dark drug trafficking criminals.

We have to create a lot of chaos.

VOICE OF PABLO ESCOBAR

Then, they will beg for peace.

Escobar was killing magistrates,

journalists, police officers.

From the jungle, I'll send
kill each one of them.

In the long run, they will lose.

The enemy number one
of Colombian society

is the terrorist Pablo Escobar,
who murders without mercy

and without regard to children,
innocent women and men.

I thought he was immortal.

DAYS UNTIL DEATH

FROM POVERTY TO WEALTH

I am Pablo Escobar, from Medellín.

My RG is 8,345,766, of Envigado.

It's better to record my voice,

or they will say that someone else called.

So there's no doubt that it was me.

He said that if at age 30,
I did not have a million pesos

WIDOW OF ESCOBAR

... he would commit suicide,

because it was not worth living.

My father started
smuggling appliances.

But he soon realized that cocaine ...

SON OF PABLO ESCOBAR

AFTER THE DEATH OF ESCOBAR,
THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT CHANGED

THE IDENTITIES OF YOUR FAMILY

... was more cost-effective and compact,

and it was more profitable to export to the US

At that time, drug trafficking
it was not a sin in Colombia.

SISTER BROTHER

Everyone had a connection with drug trafficking.

He even had a magazine with articles

how glamorous it was

cocaine use
at big parties in the USA.

My father took advantage of this moment.

It was the great success that allowed him
accumulate a fortune quickly.

Pablo Escobar has hit the whole city.

CAPABLE MORE INFECTIONS OF ESCOBAR

He was my god.

When I first met him in person,

I thought I would be an arrogant man,
proud, indifferent.

But I found a great human being.

I remember one day
in which he was eating roasted chicken.

He took a piece with his hand
and offered me.

I started to find
that drug trafficking was bad

when about five people started
to say it was bad

and the press began to chase us. I really thought it was a good thing.

Really. It was June 1976

that your name began to be disclosed

as one of the members of drug trafficking.

He was caught
with 19 kilos of cocaine.

There was

brought a few pounds of cocaine
or coca paste from Ecuador.

JOURNALIST - BIOGRAPHY

In a few months he was released.

Everyone knew it was
Mafioso, drug trafficker,

but they saw this in a positive way.

The violence had not begun.

THE MOST RICH MAN IN THE WORLD

A magazine calculated his fortune
at $ 5 billion.

It seems to be a figure

that you see only
in the tales of the thousand and one nights.

How much is your fortune?

There is a saying that says:
"In wealth and holiness,

only half of it. "

NAPLES FARM

His greatest extravagance was
the Naples Farm. It was absurd. The Naples Hacienda was amazing.

It was really huge.

He built 70 kilometers of road
to go all over the place.

He had it done
more than 20 large lakes.

Built a runway

to transport
more easily with the family.

Everybody won
a blank signed check.

You had what you wanted.

ESCOBAR IN LAS VEGAS

Once, we traveled to the United States.

A tourist trip
with family, everything normal.

We went to several zoos in Dallas and such.

When I least expected it,

He said he was going to buy
rhinoceroses, zebras

and I do not know what else.

He built a zoo.

Everything from smuggling.

When we least expected it,

There were 12,000 people there on the weekends.

Pablo liked very much

to see that the working class

I could see something I would never see
nor on television.

It was a life of opulence and waste. The Naples Farm was a haven of evil.

I could sense the presence of evil.

From there came a lot of cocaine
to the United States.

There were many deaths at the Naples Farm.

There were many tortures there.

But the boss never left
that we bury bodies there.

We were in the middle of a conversation

When they brought a man
I think I worked for him.

SWIMMING POOL IN NAPLES - CURRENT

It looks like he had

stolen three or four million pesos.

EX-TRAFFIC
POSTER OF MEDELLÍN

He was
handcuffed on the back.

Escobar asked to tie his feet.

When all was tied up,
Escobar pushed him into the pool.

And the man drowned.

As he pushed him into the pool, he shouted,

"This is what happens
with whom he steals from Escobar. "

When I was little,
went to many places with him.

A car racing,
inauguration of football fields

to poor neighborhoods,

and inauguration of health centers.

What I saw was a father.
much loved by people.

In the neighborhood of Las Flores in Envigado,

lighting has been inaugurated
of soccer field # 12.

Works donated by Civismo en Marcha
and Mr. Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

In the year 1983,

we started an afforestation program
in every district of the municipality.

Special Thanks

to all athletes and young people

of the whole neighborhood, and my gratitude

to all people

who collaborated
with the construction of this soccer field.

Thank you very much.

He built football fields,

built communities and everything.

He gave the bleachers and the lighting.

There were about seven thousand people.

The field was in the dark.

Escobar came in, saluted,

and seven thousand people shouted, "Paul!"

The voice of the Americas and the new Radio Ritmo.

Pablo Escobar kicks off.

A great kick!

Palmas for Mr. Pablo Escobar Gaviria,
after the beautiful kickoff.

Fabulous.

He appeared in the magazine Week,

who said he was the new Robin Hood.
And this was the first

sign of the existence of this character.

You consider yourself
the Robin Hood of Antioch?

It's quite a description
interesting because

we know he fought
and defended the popular classes.

One night he came to my house and said

who had been in the Moravia embankment.

He said:
"I'm going to make a neighborhood for these people,"

I'm going to get you out of the favelas.

I have good friends in the Church.

Bishops, priests,

doctors, lawyers

in popular neighborhoods.

But my best friends are in the favelas

of the municipal dump.

We started building a neighborhood

to solve the problem
of favelas in Medellín.

He brought everyone from the dump here
and gave them houses.

Who does something like that?
I ask you journalists.

Who does something like that? No one. Just him.

Somehow...

knows ... for people
who were desperate in life,

he gave them hope.

Obviously, he tried
adopt the role of Robin Hood.

A neighborhood he just promoted,

because he did not create or sponsor it.

He spoke to 150 or 200 people
and forced them

to donate money
for him to take credit.

His family wanted to believe

that he had a positive side.

WRITER

I do not believe that.

He helped because he felt
pleasure in giving, sharing.

No gift from Escobar was free.

If he gave you a present,
you had to respond to the height.

I know that at Christmas ...

DEA HEAD OF THE DEA IN COLOMBIA

... he bought thousands of gifts

for the people of all Medellín
and neighborhoods.

You know? Places near the Naples Farm.

Why did he do this?
To warn: "There are cops here.

They're looking for you.
He bought protection.

But they did not see it that way.
They saw him as ...

Like a Santa Claus.

I think those
what do you venture to say

that he did it
by political interests and power

are wrong,
for they knew not his heart.

I consider myself a happy man.

I'm always happy, optimistic.

I always have faith in life.

One of his dreams was to do
What the politicians did not do.

And devote your service
and your fortune to it.

RULES OF GREATNESS

One day he called me and said:

"Can you help me campaign politically?

I'm going into politics. "

I like to know
that he was going to enter politics

when you told me
which was to fulfill his social duty.

What is your political ideology?

Well, our movement ...

the main ideology of our movement is

civility, nationalism, social programs,

ecological and sports.

We want, through
of our program,

make a call to all citizens

to practice civility.

The squares were crowded.
I did not understand anything.

"How did this happen?"
How will it be politically?

It was impressive. That man

moved masses.

My father knew of the existence
by Pablo Escobar ...

SON OF LUIS CARLOS GALÁN

... in the 1982 campaign,

when he was running for president.

He knew that Jairo Ortega,

who was a politician from Antioch

who wanted to participate in New Liberalism,

I was inviting Pablo Escobar
to run as its alternate

by the New Liberalism.

The coordinator of New Liberalism

called my father and said

that Mr. Escobar was very strange,

because he was a man

I had lots of money,

who gave the people,

and that nobody knew
where his money came from.

So, my father, on a trip to Medellin,

decided to make a public speech

stating that Pablo Escobar
and Jairo Ortega were not part of

of the candidates
of New Liberalism to Congress.

And expelled them publicly from the party.

I mean that the aristocracy
and the political movement of Galán will tremble.

With the support of all of you,
we'll break up the puppets

and the political puppets created
by the Colombian oligarchy.

Many thanks.

A very important political leader
came to him and said:

"Pablo, with all the power

and money you have,

and with its ability,
can become president of this country.

Pablo wanted to be president.

And what did they do?

They officially competed
by the Liberal Party.

And through this official candidacy,

Pablo Escobar has arrived

to the Congress of the Republic.

Long live Comrade Pablo Escobar!

ESCOBAR AT THE CONGRESS

Live!

Long live the renewal of the Liberal Party!

Live!

The people voted for us

and chose us
as your congressional representative.

Pablo Escobar was ambitious.

True power is not in arms
not money, but politics.

Obviously, he had
a rapid rise in politics.

He gave money.

Friends of Congress ask for money,
We have to give.

These are extra collaborations.

Because politicians only know how to ask,
and we have to them all.

TURNED POINT

The Minister of Justice,
Dr. Rodrigo Lara Bonilla.

RODRIGO LARA BECOMES
SECRETARY OF JUSTICE

After the appointment of Rodrigo Lara

as Minister of Justice,

in the government of Belisario Betancur,

Rodrigo Lara started heated debates

about what they called
in the era of "hot money".

There is a great national debate

about "hot money",
of doubtful origin.

Your name is tied to this debate.

I would not call it "hot money",
but "amnestied money".

The country must know
the reality of certain powerful ...

EX-SECRETARY OF JUSTICE OF COLOMBIA

who believed
that the patrimonial amnesty meant

a pardon for crimes committed

in order to accumulate
his great fortunes.

You can ensure that your money

never related to drug trafficking?

I always ensured that my money
has no link with drug trafficking.

Dr. Rodrigo Lara

began to confront
Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria

in the Congress of the Republic.

Have a drug dealer
like Pablo Escobar in the Congress

was delicate for Colombian democracy.

The debate in the House moves forward ...

CONGRESSO COLOMBIANO

... about dubious money,

whose meddling in politics
causes a major scandal.

Joined the session
the representative Jairo Ortega,

whose substitute is Pablo Escobar.

I want to ask a respectful question

the Minister of Justice.

SEPTEMBER 1983
ORTEGA AT THE CONGRESS

The worst was when he started
to point the finger.

SON OF RODRIGO LARA

And they armed him,

saying that Lara received a million
to fund your campaign.

It was a million pesos ...

ATTACK THE EX-SECRETARY LARA

... on a check
in the name of Dr. Rodrigo Lara. And I'll tell
the process of obtaining this check,

and how far he had come.

The Minister of Justice is trapped

against the evidence presented
by my fellow Member of the Chamber,

Jairo Ortega Ramírez.

The reaction of Rodrigo Lara Bonilla

to this act, this debate,

was to intensify
its offensive against drug traffickers.

I was mayor of
and, when I least expected it, in the debate ...

EX-PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA

... entered the ballroom

a big quantity
of Escobar's armed escort.

IN THE CONGRESS

It was a tense and difficult day.

There are investigations

in the United States,

that I can not reveal
tonight in the Chamber,

about illegal activities ...

the substitute of Dr. Ortega.

From the substitute of Dr. Ortega.

From that moment,
he adopted a suicidal attitude.

Of course it was a declaration of war.

The Minister of Justice

he accused me unjustly.

He lied when he said

that Escobar had a history
criminal in the US government.

Now, I'll show you my official passport.

to show that the US government

granted me a visa to visit the country.

In addition, I am a visitor
assiduous of that nation.

Within the Congress, Pablo Escobar

was not a great speaker,

then Minister of Justice Lara Bonilla

and your party
massacred him verbally.

And they revoked
his parliamentary immunity.

I do not seek, and hope there is not,

a confrontation between the Colombian people.

I seek peace and always preached peace.

I long for peace.

ESCOBAR WAIVERS TO CONGRESS

I wanted to pursue a political career

for feeling need
to serve the community,

but I am determined to withdraw
definitely of the policy

because I think I can serve the community

through my civic work,

without having political participation.

One day, Escobar told me,

talking about his time in politics ...

He told me, "Man,

I ended up in the real Mafia,
they are the real mafia. "

Lara was not convinced.

and continued to search relentlessly.

Until he discovered Tranquilandia.

MAJOR LABORATORY OF COCAINE

MEDELLÍN POSTER - TAKEN IN 1982

They discovered 13.8 tons of cocaine.

More than six labs.

Several runways.

All those planes, some propellers.

It had become an industry.

I interviewed Rodrigo Lara.

for my TV show,

and we speak of death.

I will remain under protection anyway ...

GERMÁN CASTRO INTERVIEW RODRIGO LARA

... because, somehow,

They'll want to give me the change.

So I made it to
the criminals in their places.

We'll see what happens in the next few days.

At 7.30 pm on 30 April 1984 ...

MURDER OF RODRIGO LARA

... a shooter fired
with an Ingram machine gun

and murdered the Minister of Justice,
Rodrigo Lara.

I knew something bad had happened.

I would ask, "Where is my father?"

"Soon you will see him."

We arrived in Neiva.

There were a lot of people.

And I would ask:

"Who is inside the coffin?"

I did not understand.

Until, finally, a cousin

picked me up and got me up.

That's when I started to cry.

She cried without stopping.

NO EXILE

Colombia will deliver
the requested offenders

by the commission of crimes in other countries

to be punished
in an exemplary way ...

EX-PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA

... in this universal operation

against a universal attack.

Belisario Betancur, the president at the time,

at the funeral of Rodrigo Lara, at the wake,

announced that it would apply
the extradition treaty.

But the mafiosi went to Panama,

supported and protected
by General Noriega,

who was in power.

I was living with my husband,
And suddenly...

said we needed to
leave the country immediately.

I knew they had killed
the Minister of Justice,

which was a complex situation, but ...

Why did I have to leave?
What was my situation?

15 days left
for me to give birth to Manuela.

On 6 May 1984,
the army entered ...

NAPLES FARM IS TAKEN

... in the fortress of Pablo Escobar:

the Naples Farm in Doradal.

Hi, what's up?

SCOBAR KNOWS
OF THE FARM TAKING

-Oz trucks entered Naples.
Right.

Tell them to stay.

Better yet,
to repay the debts I have,

are huge.

On 6 May 1984,

Pablo Escobar, Jorge Luis Ochoa
and Rodríguez Gacha

tried to meet in Panama with the former president
Alfonso López Michelsen,

who was there as an observer
of the Panamanian general elections.

The drug traffickers meant

who did not murder
the Minister of Justice.

They admitted that they controlled

between 70 and 80%
of cocaine production in Colombia,

and proposed to the government an amnesty.

On this occasion,

the cartel offered to the government of Betancur

the end of the laboratories,
withdraw from the cocaine market,

repatriate your capitals
and help pay off the country's foreign debt.

They were willing to give in.

I said that none of this
could be done

EX-PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA

... without the collaboration,
acceptance or acquiescence

the US government and the DEA.

And he agreed that it was necessary

that the US knew
of the agreement.

How could it be possible?

make peace with people who had
murdered his minister of justice?

What kind of example would be given to the country?

It would make anyone think
who could have anything he wanted.

We have to say that we were discussing,

seeking a possible agreement,
but it all collapsed

because the Colombian Intelligence
and the gringos did not want to.

Drugs are hurting
our society.

US PRESIDENT

Threaten our values
and undermine our institutions.

They're killing our children.

Thirty-seven federal agencies are
making a joint national effort,

and, until next year,
our spending on the fight against drugs

will have more than tripled
in relation to 1981.

The Betancur government rejected the proposal

and publicly denied

to do any transaction
with drug traffickers.

There are incredible stories,
like 50 Colombian mobsters

running in lycra clothes

in the morning by the avenues of Panama,

with 50 Mercedes Benz
driving behind them.

Had a moment

in which it became crazy,
the DEA and the CIA were there.

Noriega said to them, "Please,

do not run any more through the streets of Panama,
do not walk there. Go away."

So Escobar went to Nicaragua.

He proposed to the Nicaraguans,

the Sandinistas,

build a lab
of cocaine in Nicaragua.

DEA BARRY SEAL'S REPORTER
GO TO NICARAGUA

AND DRAWED PHOTOS OF ESCOBAR.

WHEN HE RETURNED TO THE US
AND DISCOVERED THE PHOTOS,

IT WAS SUPPOSTELY DEAD
BY THE ESCOBAR CAPANGA.

Escobar listened to what Ortega,
President of Nicaragua, had to say.

And between the lines,

interpreted that Ortega was going to deliver it

authorities.

Escobar has not even finished listening

the Ortega interview. He got a car,

was quickly to the airport

and flew back to Colombia on his plane.

When the Sandinistas were to pick him up,
had already disappeared.

ALMOST THERE

TAKE THE PALACE OF JUSTICE
NOVEMBER 6, 1986

Clearly this news continues
and will continue for a long time:

the taking of the Palace of Justice.

Escobar collaborated financially
in the making of the Palace of Justice.

What did he want? Why did you fund?

Burn all files
against the extraditable.

And kill the most
of magistrates possible,

not to have to kill them in the streets.

The Minister of Defense delivered today

the count of victims
and seized war material.

Twelve murdered magistrates,
including a wizard.

Six policemen killed.

Two officers,
one non-commissioned officer and three agents.

The Army lost an officer.

For your children,

for you, for Colombia,

denounce drug traffickers.

Wanted: Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

Cooperate, denounce, report.

It started to appear
on "Wanted" posters

as the head of the drug cartel
most powerful in the world.

Became the most wanted criminal,

but despite all this,

operations, intelligence actions
and infernal persecutions,

always end with "We almost got it".

"How did he know?

Everything was a mystery.

On many occasions,

against Escobar.

We found out where he was and,
at the last minute,

he could escape.

Assemble a group of four to five men,

Let's pay if they go through
Misleading information.

The phone number on the TV.
We keep them busy.

Yesterday we called and said
We were in a certain hotel,

and they almost destroyed it.

They're going to be crazy.

At the time, Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria

was a friend of the Medellin police.

-Hello. What happened?
-It's Maza Márquez.

Yes.

CONVERSATION WITH INFORMAL ON POLICE

Sent 350 to 400 men
from here to Medellín.

Yes.

They're ready
for a major operation tomorrow

or the day after tomorrow.

Tell the pilots to let us know.

They'll let us know right away.

They said they will not shoot.

We will shoot.

We should not shoot them.

They will turn their weapons to the other side.

That's what they promised.

Colonel Valdemar Franklin Quintero
arrived in Medellín. Incorruptible man

An honest police officer.

I remember once when we came back

of Naples, we were being persecuted

and we were arrested. I was seven years old.

My sister was practically newborn.

They did not want to feed my sister.

The commander in charge was
Valdemar Franklin Quintero.

This caused great anger in my father,

who eventually ordered his murder.

He said, "Let them persecute me,
I am the bandit,

but do not mess with my family.
They are decent people,

have nothing to do with what I do. "

The boss sent

put a car bomb
to reach Colonel Quintero.

We gave a boy a chance to detonate him
within 50 meters.

The boy saw a Mercedes 230
approaching,

saw the police escort,

ran the remote control
and detonated the bomb.

And we went to warn the boss.

We said, "You're done, boss.
Colonel Franklin Quintero is dead. "

And the boss said:

"Look at the news,
you killed the governor of Antioch,

Antonio Roldán Betancur. "

FUNERAL OF ANTONIO ROLDÁN BETANCUR

The boss did not get angry.

The governor was a friend of the boss.

He was the next person
a Escobar in politics,

and could become president
with good amount of money.

There was nothing we could do,
the governor was dead.

Pablo, at the time, believed ...

EX-TRAFFIC
POSTER OF MEDELLÍN

... who was the boss of all
the criminal structures in Colombia.

We were friends and partners

in the fight against extradition

of the brothers Rodríguez Orejuela.

Escobar called
for the brothers Rodríguez Orejuela

because we did some things
for them here in Medellín.

What's up? What's new?

All right

Talk.

Black has been telling me for a long time:

"Be careful, they want to get you out of here."

You are invading
the New York market,

which has been theirs for a long time.

They think they own the city.

Let's see who has intelligence
and who has only beauty.

That's what we'll prove here.

Pablo said:
"If you are not on my side, you are my enemy."

HEADS OF THE CIAL POSTER

You have 24 hours.

to think and make a decision. "

And he hung up.

Violence in Colombia
made more victims last night.

MASSACRE IN CÁLI

The killing happened on a luxurious farm
in Candelaria, near Cali.

Nineteen people were murdered

and ten were injured.

It was the beginning of the war
between the cartels of Cali and Medellín.

We started to fight two enemies.

SICÁRIO - POSTER OF MEDELLÍN

The State and other cartel.

If anyone from Cali came here, he was dead.

And they did the same with Medellin.

The dome of the Cali cartel

he would not tolerate such threats

and, before giving the 24 hours,

hired people from Medellín

to set up a pump intended for
to Escobar, in the Monaco building.

The first car bomb
in the history of Colombia

exploded on January 13, 1988,

in the Monaco building in Medellín.

My sister had ... She was born in 1984.

She was four years old.

I was born in 1977.

I was 11 years old.

Seven hundred kilos of dynamite

broke the glasses
within a radius of a mile away.

An explosion to get us off the map.
It is a miracle to be alive.

It was for the bomb to arrive
in the building's garage,

fall over the door and enter
to bring down the whole building.

From that moment, my father ...

I Think...

All the excuses I needed
to use violence ...

he already had them.

A targeted bomb attack
your family

triggered more
of 200 terrorist attacks.

RANDOM BOMBARDIES IN COLOMBIA

Most of the violence
was carried out by the Medellín cartel,

under the name "The Extraditables" ...

EX-SECRETARY OF DEFENSE OF COLOMBIA

... that was a group of drug traffickers
financed by all cartels.

They generated corruption in the state

and terrorism.

It is unfair that people
who committed a crime in the country

be judged on another
and condemned to penalties

that do not even exist in Colombia.

They were only afraid
of being extradited.

It will be next, brother.

I decided that every penny
we can get

will be used to burn houses
of the rich, to affect politicians,

the military
and police officers who abuse us,

the judges who trouble us,

the journalists.

And they appear protesting, saying:
"We are the Extraditables,

and denounce that society excludes us,

chases us,
treats us unfairly,

stigmatizes us
and does not accept our children in schools. "

It was not just a question

of police or judicial persecution,
they were also protesting

because they have no space in society,
even though they are so rich.

These son of a bitch are after us
because we are supposed to be delinquent.

They think I'm stupid because I have
I'm calm, I'm not fighting right now.

The motherfuckers are confusing
Nobility with weakness.

Those idiots.
I'm going to show these bastards

As soon as I start a total war.

Escobar was a very violent person.

And as it grew more powerful,

he thought he could challenge the state.

This infamous character was able to
which no one had achieved before:

to smear blood or drug trafficking

and turn it into narcoterrorism.

Escobar was killing judges,

killing magistrates,

journalists, police.

They converted this business
in a dead business,

revenge, abuse
and the eccentricity of power.

In murder
of the prosecutor Carlos Mauro Hoyos,

Escobar is indicated as principal,
but was never summoned.

Even though a recording was found

where he is supposed to send
kill Hoyos Jiménez,

the specialized judge Óscar Hernández

did not take the test into account.

Before killing him, the boss asked

to tell you why
of its execution.

I said: "Dr. Carlos Mauro,
We're going to kill him.

for the crime of treason. "

He shouted, "Who the hell did I betray?"

I said, "He betrayed himself.
when you received money from the DEA

and the Mafia.

And for authorizing extradition
from Colombians to the USA. "

Then we execute it immediately.

Whoever crosses his path,
if he did not accept money,

lead.

He was murdered.

Whoever crosses his path,

if he did not take money, he would carry lead.

The only enemies are those who use

terror and violence

to silence the people of Colombia.

To intimidate or murder

its most important protagonists.

Dr. Luis Carlos Galán

gained great visibility

because it was strictly
against Pablo Escobar and the drug traffickers

and was in favor of extradition.

GALÁN OR CAOS (1987)

In our country, came to power

the dark criminals

of drug trafficking.

And since 1982,

one year before Rodrigo Lara

take over the Ministry of Justice,

the New Liberalism has been

the only political force
in Colombia that faced

this terrible opponent
society, and institutional order.

At the time, politics was
activity of public squares,

of the streets,

of the enthusiasm of the people and campaigns.

People were standing in a public square

for five, six, seven hours
waiting for my father.

MURDER OF LUIS CARLOS GALÁN
AUGUST 18, 1989

They shot him!

They shot him!

We knew he had been
taken to Kennedy Hospital.

We got there

and the doctor asked
if we wanted to see my father,

who was on a stretcher.

My mother and my brothers went there.

I did not see him

that moment.

I did not notice.

And then came all ...

Many people arrived
to the hospital later.

We could not breathe.

FUNERAL DE LUIS CARLOS GALÁN

If we dedicate ourselves to killing politicians,
burning your houses

and make a civil war, they will have
to talk to us about peace,

this will solve our problems.

I do not see any other option.

But we have to fight,
put our whole heart into it.

And if we have to die, so be it.

I wanted to talk at the funeral,

I then gave a speech.

And in the end, I changed the last sentence
that he had written, which was:

"Always forward, not a step back,
do whatever it takes. "

What was the phrase ...

I want Dr. César Gaviria,

in whose hands we trust
the mission of my father,

be the president
that Colombia wants and needs.

Please save Colombia.

Always forward,

not a step back,

do whatever it takes.

THE DEATH OF HOPE

We are facing a very difficult campaign,

because it was very threatening.

We had to do it
in the midst of terrorist attacks.

The campaign was horrible
because whoever replaced Galán

hold your position
against drug trafficking,

what Gaviria did,

would become the main enemy of Escobar
and the group known as Extraditables.

There is a national order of Extraditables

to all who are allied with César Gaviria,

to be shot.

The people who are with Gaviria
are with a dead man.

Exploded an Avianca plane
with campaign people inside.

We did a campaign tour in Cali,

and they canceled the morning events,

the manager made the decision to change
the tickets for a later flight.

And the 19:00 flight was exploded by Escobar.

They're talking about the plane.

ESCOBAR AND SICARIES CONVERSAM
ABOUT THE AIRBORNE BOMB

You said that you had already paid.

I have the order
ten pesos in my power,

I'll give it to you in half an hour.

The bomb was already in place.
It was a bomb by contact.

It had to explode.

And it was convenient
for the Medellín cartel

blow up an airplane in mid-flight.

It was terrorism,
to corner the republic of Colombia.

THE DAS ERA
THE COLOMBIAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

The bombing of the DAS was the

terrorist attack on the world until then.

The bus did not enter the DAS.

If he had come in,
would have killed the planet.

At 7:15 a.m.,
the truck bomb entered this street.

Three men left him.

And three minutes later,
That's what's left.

At the time, 1989 was
the most fateful year

for the Colombian State
and the most beneficial to the Mafia.

We practically lived
in a permanent crisis.

Public order was
an enormous problem.

It was a horrible way to live.

There were days when five or six bombs
exploded in different parts,

and pedestrians died.

This morning, at 6:30 am,
a car loaded with dynamite

exploded forward
to the building of the newspaper El Espectador.

Over the last ten years,
the newspaper El Espectador became

a symbol of the crusade
against drug trafficking in the country.

Today's attack is yet another sample
the daring of the cartel chiefs.

Pablo Escobar understood ...

JOURNALIST
EX-VICE PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA

... the media very well.

The problem is that he thought
who could defeat them.

The people of El Tiempo will have a surprise.

ESCOBAR ATTACK AGAINST THE TIME
THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY

They do not even think about it.

I will speak to them.
You'll see if they change their attitude.

If they do not change, the decision is yours.

I can not do anything else,
I do not own the newspaper.

In the building of the newspaper El Tiempo,
where I worked,

on the roof,
there was a 50 caliber machine gun,

because there was information

what would they beat
with an airplane full of explosives.

In a climate of war,
many people died,

but no one was caught,

President Gaviria took office.

A group of very important journalists
in the country was kidnapped

with the purpose of repealing

the possibility of extradition
to the United States.

And we started to develop, what at the time
was a controversial policy,

the so-called politics
of "submission to justice".

This policy,
used in other countries of the world,

such as the United States and Italy,

consists in reducing penalties
for confessed crimes

by those who present themselves
voluntarily to justice,

and includes the guarantee

that they will be tried in the country.

CHATTING WITH AN ASSOCIATE

Tell me more or less what he said.

The president said that they are
considering less stringent treatment

for those
to come to justice.

Okay, any kindness is good.

The highest sentence at the time was 30 years.

It took seven years to introduce himself,

seven to confess,
in the end we could only take seven years.

It worked for most of them,
but it did not work with Escobar.

But Pablo Escobar did not want to
surrender to justice

until the Constituent Assembly
revoked extradition.

We were playing with the future of the country.

So the aggressiveness
I used to write my columns

against Pablo Escobar and the drug traffickers

would put me in the eye of the hurricane.

At night, a group of six men

with police badges

kidnapped the editor-in-chief
do The Time, Francisco Santos.

At the time, I asked:

"In whose hands am I?
From the guerrilla or Pablo Escobar? "

The guy had an accent from Medellin,
I said, "In the hands of Escobar?"

He said, "Yes, Pablo Escobar."
And then I thought it was my end.

This flame symbolizes
the hope of Colombians for peace.

It will be lit here in Bolivar Square,
in the capital of the country,

until the abductees return.

However, many believe
which will be a long wait.

I've never imagined
that was to get out of it alive. Never.

RECRIATION OF THE ESCOBAR LETTER

I received a handwritten letter
by him, saying

who was sorry for what I was going through,

that men were given orders
to treat me well.

But for me to understand that it was a war

and that there are always victims in wars,

and he hoped I was not one of them.

The only message they let me send

was very clear, telling the president ...
And I repeated it twice.

"Do what you can to save us,
but remember that the law comes first.

First the Constitution.

It was a real battle
to preserve democracy.

When he saw that he had the votes
in the Constituent Assembly ...

And I think he bought some.

And the Colombians were
fed up with violence.

He let us go.

"Are you happy to be home?"
-Yes of course.

"Are you happy to be here?"
-Much.

A person who spoke to me ...

SOLTURA DE SANTOS AND OTHER JOURNALISTS

... was not one of the caretakers,
was someone who appeared,

told me that Pablo Escobar was going to surrender.

All the candidates, with few exceptions,

were in favor of prohibiting extradition.

Extradition has been prohibited
of Colombians by birth.

The decision of the Constituent Assembly
was something expected by Escobar.

When extradition was banned,

or eliminated,
was a great victory for Pablo

it's a big loss
for our efforts in the United States.

AVIANCA FLIGHT 203

BOMBARDEIO DAS DAS

THE CATHEDRAL OF THE DEVIL

The result of the vote.

Total voters:

For: 51.

Against: 13.

Five abstentions.

Attention. Pablo Escobar Gaviria
was handed over today to the authorities

few hours later
extradition to be abolished.

in the National Constituent Assembly.

Mr. President, how do you feel?

What does that mean
for Colombia and for the government?

It is a deep satisfaction

see how we are leaving

the way of narcoterrorism

and how Pablo Escobar gave himself
to the Colombian justice system.

Because of the peace policy
and strengthening of justice ...

PUBLIC DECLARATION OF ESCOBAR IN PRISON

... by Mr. President
and its cabinet,

I will serve every year in prison
as needed

to contribute
with the strengthening of democracy

from my dear Colombia.

ESCOBAR IS DELIVERED

A helicopter will take Escobar

to a special chain: The Cathedral.

Mr. Escobar's helicopter landed.

Of course the whole scheme
security was ruined.

EX-GENERAL ATTORNEY

Automatically, all eyes
were in Mr. Pablo Escobar.

It is not?

In the midst of all this ...

fantasy that he had inspired,
of all evil,

did not stop being
a legendary character.

With my presentation
and submission to justice,

I also wish to do
a tribute to my parents,

to my irreplaceable
and unequaled wife,

to my 14-year-old pacifist son,

My Little Ballerina
Edentulous seven years

and all my family, whom I love so much.

Pablo Escobar Gaviria.

Envigado, Colombia,

Nineteen of June 1991.

He was pale.

You could see the fear, the fear.

He swore by the love he had for us.

who was not going to fail us that time.

Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria surrendered

So that his family might have peace,

because he could not stand
the pressure on it.

I think the idea of the Cathedral was
a genuine intention

by my father,

after our persistent complaints
like family,

to seek a negotiable exit
for the problems we were having.

When Pablo gave himself up in La Catedral,

It was a day of mourning.
for the staff of our police force.

I was angry.
I was very disappointed in that.

What will be the order of Mr. President?

for him to submit now
all necessary legal proceedings?

The conditions imposed by the lawyer
who represented Pablo Escobar in this case

were exclusively related
to his safety.

Of no other nature.

What did Pablo Escobar do?
He built The Cathedral.

And he built the wall that surrounded the prison.

And as for the electric fence that he put,

the lever to turn it on
in his cell.

The Cathedral ended up turning
a place of luxuries.

A place of excesses.

ESCOBAR PRISON

A party place.

It looked more like a house,
which, in fact, has always been ...

our, not a prison.

And your personal guards

were a joke. They were not ...

While visiting him at the Cathedral,

I saw employees of my father's whole life

wearing prison uniforms.

SCOBRA PLAYING FOOTBALL IN PRISON

It was a joke.

It was an effort
to find a legal solution.

Of course, accept some
safety conditions

presented a challenge to the State

that, at some point,
we were not able to attend.

Escobar was no longer a drug trafficker,

had become a great extortionist
of its members.

With Escobar imprisoned, his partners
have taken certain degrees of freedom

and rebelled.
He called them to account

and murdered them.

And that created
a great division within the Mafia.

Pablo Escobar was in prison.

The mistake he made was

When did you start killing?
members of the Moncada and Galeano families

which he believed had brought him.

They were no longer our friends,
they did not finance us any more.

Were closer
of the cartel of Cali than of us.

And the boss considered this situation.

The boss was a warrior,
and warriors live in war.

He made that tough decision.
because he always lived on the edge.

But in the Cathedral,

Galeano was shot dead. Otto killed him.

I killed Kiko Moncada.
We made a big bonfire

and burned the bodies
all night long.

The next day, the bones are left,
which are difficult to burn.

We crushed them
with a hammer and threw acid.

That's how Kiko and Galeano disappeared.

When the boss gave me
the order to kill Kiko,

I did,
but I could not sleep at night.

I had killed my second father.

The only favor I could do
was not to let him suffer,

so I shot the head.

BODIES OF MORE MEMBERS
OF THE MONCADA AND GALEANO FAMILIES

The government decided to change Escobar from prison.

And pass it from the prison of Medellin
to a military garrison in Bogota.

The government sent
five trucks full of men

of the 4th Brigade to occupy the prison.

When I learned that the
I was taking the prison ...

EX-VICE-SECRETARY OF JUSTICE

... they said to go to Medellin.
Then we went to Envigado,

we arrived at La Catedral around 8pm.

It was already dark.

The prison guards greeted me.
They said everything was under control.

Aligned.

And there was Escobar. He greeted me,

stopped in front of me

and said, "You can not leave.
You're my hostage now.

If the Army enters
or if you try to run away, I will kill you. "

If you're going to get me out of here,
It's because they're going to kill me.

I'd rather die fighting
than arrested in unworthy conditions.

My father feared something bigger.
than a simple transfer.

And when they take someone to Bogota,
is one step away

to be placed on a plane to the US.

They have entrenched themselves
and kidnapped the Deputy Minister of Justice

and the head of the prison.

They called a radio station in Colombia.

RADIOJOURNALIST

Escobar described
as it was entrenched

into the tunnel he had built.

ESCOBAR FOGE OF PRISON

He said he was
running out of air. All this

transmitted live.

498 DAYS UNTIL DEATH

Then they discovered that,
when you made the call,

Escobar had already run away three hours earlier.

He walked quietly out the door,
window or somewhere.

And this
a great political controversy

because, obviously,
was a failure of the state.

No one can deny this.

After the escape of Pablo Escobar, the government

realized that it had become the world joke,

and that it was unique
and their fault alone.

They no longer wanted to capture Paul alive.

They wanted to kill him.

It was a day of joy for us.

Police and DEA celebrated
because we were back on the hunt.

The hunt continued.

The game is back.

WANTED

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

We need our public force

find Escobar, capture him
and put it to the order of our righteousness.

When Escobar ran away,
we created the Search Block,

commanded by an Army general
and one from the police.

When he ran away,
President Gaviria came to realize

that this was very embarrassing for him.

Very embarrassing for all of Colombia.

And he, basically,
opened the doors and said:

"Help us as best you can."

I contacted the US ambassador.

and said: "We need your support in this,

give us intelligence,

technique and personal training.

Thus was formed the Search Block.

They used
your most advanced equipment

to help us in the pursuit of Escobar.

In the first weeks of performance
of the Search Block ...

EX-COMMANDER SEARCH PACK

with me in charge

he detonated two car bombs

who killed 34 policemen.

Two officers.

That bastard who committed himself
for half a million dollars

is who is commanding operations.

He thinks that being a police officer
I'm afraid of the son of a bitch.

I wanted the asshole to hear this

to know how I plan to kill him. We listened to the conversation all the time.

Tell that shit, Colonel Martinez,

I call him sissies.

And tell this fagot
I will not forgive you

for the rest of your life.

I'm going to pump his family's house,

I'll kill this shit.

Of course, coming from Pablo Escobar,
it was very scary.

At the time, the threats were being fulfilled.

When Pablo escaped from the Cathedral,

became a public enemy again.

People who were at the moment were
linked to Escobar

they said, "Come, let us fight against him."

I thought that, finally,

We had a group of vigilantes ...
or enough to go after Paul.

And I applauded them.

Finally, the Colombian people
was waking up.

Someone was doing something.

But a few days later I discovered
who were Los Pepes.

Los Pepes,
or Persecuted by Pablo Escobar,

informed the Medellin cartel

would respond with the same currency

future attacks on the city.

Someone mentioned

what, president down,
we were all Los Pepes.

Los Pepes, basically,
were supported by the Cali cartel.

They began to wage war.

They started killing more people.
not the Medellin cartel

who were still with Paul,
suppressed their supporters.

Los Pepes took credit
Car Bomb Explosions

where a sister lived,
A brother-in-law and Escobar's mother.

And they also started
to provide information

and intelligence to the national police
Colombian and the DAS.

So, in a way, they became allies.

The Cali cartel grew.

They put the police,
the Army, the DEA

and the DAS against us.
Cali's cartel cornered us.

But you have to be careful.

You can not leave

criminal organizations to become
part of what you are doing.

CUSHION CUTTERS

Pablo Escobar had an Army major

in your safety. And they started
to discover our hiding places.

The boss was strategic about this.

"They discovered the hiding place on that day."

The only person who knew about him
was the major. "

The boss ordered us to kidnap Major.
We found it,

We tortured him and he confessed
I was an informant

of the 4th Brigade of Medellín.

And the major always
his wife into hiding.

And the Major, under torture,

said that the next day,
there would be an operation

and that the woman was going to show
one of the hiding places.

We told the boss that there was
a woman who always went along,

pregnant woman, who showed the hiding places.

I got the number with the major,
I called the woman.

and she went to a gas station.

We saw her and killed her on the spot.

And, for humanity,
we threw the baby so he would not suffer.

It was a very strong thing.

The problem, when they are militarized
the themes of ...

prosecution of offenders,

is that this becomes something very cruel,
very wild.

And it ends in massacres and insane acts.

As they were eliminated

their military and financial means,
he began to lose power.

And he understood that his family was
much more vulnerable.

He was desperately trying ...

take your family out of the country.

Goodbye to Paul

When I discovered that,
by intervention of the attorney general,

Germany was going to give asylum

to the Escobar family ...

FAILED TROUBLES OF LEAVING FROM COLOMBIA

... we started to negotiate
with the German government.

We told them it was
a complex problem for Colombia

because if terrorism increased,

we would have
to make Germany responsible.

Here is Pablo Escobar from Medellín ...

ESCOBAR LEAGUE FOR PRESIDENT GAVIRIA

... know that if the German government

Reject my innocent family,

I will reprisal

against the citizens,

tourists,

companies

and the interests of Germany in Colombia.

Escobar was
in a desperate situation

and obviously could threaten
the German interests, but ...

But it was something that went fast.

He followed with his activities

to generate terrorist acts where he could,

not where he wanted, only where he could.

Of course we brought
the family of Escobar

to a place
where we could offer security.

Military and security operations

multiplied here in the center of Bogota,

where they are
the Tequendama Hostels,

where they are hosted
the wife and two children

the former head of the Medellin cartel.

The state said it was protecting us.

In fact, he was making intelligence

and we were part of a trap
to hunt down my father.

There was no protection.

Can not be protected by someone

if the people around you
disappear magically.

His teachers, his maids,

your friends, everyone.

Here is one of Paul's brothers.

Pablo is very offended
for disturbing his family.

Do not mess with his family.
If you touch it or disturb it,

you will have problems, brother.

For all of us who were in that house

was offered a reward.

They were offering $ 4 million
through my head.

He was desperately trying
take your family out of the country.

And we were preventing
all the attempts made by them.

Pablo was staying
more vulnerable each day.

He was basically alone,
that is, it was only a matter of time.

Be very careful.
You know how we need you.

FINAL CUSHION OF ESCOBAR

I'm well hidden.

Very safe.

The worst is over.

He, wanting to help his family,

thought to surrender
and called for protection from the United States.

He used some journalists
well recognized

to establish certain conditions

for his surrender.

-Hello?
-Maria Isabel, how are you?

ESCOBAR AND COLOMBIAN JOURNALIST

-Oi, Pablo.
-What do you want?

I want to ask a big favor
on behalf of the country.

Yes.

How about doing something
for you to indulge?

Listen, Maria Isabel,
I am willing to resolve this case.

I chose to leave prison,

but it was the last thing
I wanted to do in my life.

I just left because they were going to kill me,

they came in.

We'll work it out
You talk to the president.

Want me to call
for the president or not?

Tell the President
I intend to go

to a different prison
that of Envigado.

I accept another prison different from there.

But I need to know
what are the security conditions.

How can we contact you?

What did you say?

How can we contact you?

I'll call you. No problem.

The journalists called me.

But surrender was
which implied, again,

to give you certain privileges
of security, and that was unthinkable.

The President, facing the countries of the world,

can not accept your conditions.

And I'll tell you something even worse.

They have already accepted the entry of the gringos here
to look for you.

I am willing to collaborate,

But I'm not afraid of the gringos.

Not afraid? But we did everything
for you not to be extradited.

So much blood was spilled
in order not to be extradited,

and are not afraid of them?

If he had surrendered,
we were going to welcome him, but it was clear

that he never thought of giving himself
and that he always intended

of destroying the state.

Never in my damn life
will capture me,

and, from the jungle, I will send
kill each one of them.

In the long run, they will lose.

But, of course,
it was a combat situation.

The instructions were very clear:
capture or kill.

One day Escobar made the mistake.
to call your family directly.

And, at that moment,
for the duration of the call,

triangulation of data has
get your location.

How did you get
that the prosecutor protect us?

THE FINAL MINUTES OF THE ESCOBAR LIFE
THEY WERE IN A CONNECTION

MADE FOR THE SON.

The question is: How did you achieve this?

ESCOBAR SPOKEN LONG TIME.
SEARCH PACK LOCATED IT.

Stay calm.

THE OPERATION THAT KILLED IT BEGAN.

They spoke with someone from the prosecution service
to relocate it abroad?

01:10 MINUTES FOR DEATH

Okay, let's stop here.

He said he'd call me back.
He did not call.

One journalist called me,
five to ten minutes later,

saying: "Pablo Escobar is dead."

Of course i reacted
with violence and said ...

We do not want to talk right now.

But I tell you

I'm going to kill
the sons of bitches who killed him.

I'm going to kill the bastards myself.

I retraced myself from the threats
exactly ten minutes later.

Because I thought, "My God,

I'm going the same way

for which I have always criticized my father, "

I saw how wrong it was.

My proposal to continue
with violence and become a Escobar 2.0

she was not going to bring him back to life.

I want to make it clear

I will not avenge my father's death,

because now, the only thing that worries me

is the future of my long-suffering family.

Pablo Escobar was
a man who loved his family,

his daughter Manuela,
the son Juan Pablo and the Mrs. Tata.

He died for them.

ROOF WHERE BROKEN WAS DEAD
TWO DECEMBER 1993

I thought he was immortal.

When I realized it was him
on the roof of that house,

chubby, bearded, that was him,

my soul cried

The Crowd at Your Funeral
it was unbelievable.

FATHER OUR JESUS, MERCY TO PABLITO

Everyone wanted to touch the coffin.
People crying everywhere.

The guy was a monster.

Goodbye, Pablo.

WHAT GOOD IS TO LIVE IN MEDELLÍN
WITHOUT PABLO'S PUMPS
