What the flipping hell are you doing? I'm going to snap your face
00:00:37.000
And we're finding out that there's one person responsible for the shipment of this cocaine
00:00:43.000
The man they are after is one of the most dangerous drug lords in Colombia
00:00:51.000
Pablo Escobar at this time was the biggest, the most powerful, the most violent drug trafficker
00:01:03.000
Escobar's factories are flooding the U.S. with two tons of cocaine every day
00:01:10.000
Drug related violence has reached the level of carnage
00:01:29.000
Cocaine made Pablo Escobar one of the world's wealthiest men
00:01:48.000
One of the biggest criminal organizations the world had ever seen
00:01:56.000
With his money Escobar created dozens of soccer fields
00:02:07.000
And knows he needs popular support in his community
00:02:10.000
He builds football stadiums and schools here in his hometown of Mexico
00:03:07.000
Police, judges, and politicians are no exception
00:03:46.000
Because the American government wanted him extradited to the US
00:04:03.000
And then he said okay we'll come to an agreement yeah
00:04:13.000
This has never happened in the history of mankind yeah
00:04:25.000
He would surrender and serve a greatly reduced term in a cushy prison built specially for him
00:04:30.000
While the government would once and for all kill the extradition treaty with the US
00:04:34.000
He surrendered into a facility that was really built by him, controlled by him
00:04:40.000
He built in essence a country club with all the amenities
00:04:46.000
Allegedly built in his property under his specifications
00:04:50.000
He contained hiding places throughout the buildings where he could hide money, weapons
00:05:09.000
Sitting room, a kitchen, a big bedroom with desk and working area in the bedroom
00:05:23.000
I wish somebody would be opening a prison like that
00:05:32.000
If you get a death sentence, they're not going to keep you in prison
00:05:40.000
His friends came in and he was conducting business from the prison
00:05:54.000
Hundreds of Colombian troops are hunting the drugs baron Pablo Escobar
00:06:04.000
The government was about to move Escobar from a jail near the town of Medellin
00:06:07.000
Where it said he continued to control the cocaine trade
00:06:11.000
The Colombian president, Cesar Guerilla, said he would still refuse to extradite suspected drug traffickers for trial abroad
00:06:19.000
After Escobar escaped from prison, the Colombian government created the search block
00:06:25.000
A special military task force trained by the United States in order to find him
00:06:29.000
The security forces were not the only ones hunting for Pablo Escobar
00:06:34.000
There was also a death squad funded by the Kami Cartel
00:06:49.000
Because Pablo Escobar was working with communist soldiers as well
00:07:03.000
And they're keeping documents they're going to use against Pablo Escobar
00:07:16.000
It's like someone driving into St Paul's Cathedral
00:08:01.000
This group basically turned the table on Pablo Escobar
00:08:46.000
Because Pablo had shot at him at that exact moment
00:08:52.000
He and the bodyguard are running across the roof
00:09:10.000
And he's also trying to return fire to the police officers on the ground
00:09:30.000
Bro, do you know how long they were looking for this guy?
00:11:33.000
That has come at the cost of thousands of people dying
00:11:42.000
The CIA allowed the Contras to bring crack cocaine into the US
00:11:57.000
This was the time Pablo Escobar reached his peak
00:12:19.000
You thought he was the drug dealer from back in the day
00:12:25.000
Apparently made about up to a billion dollars in his life
00:12:52.000
Very, very looked up to by a lot of young people
00:16:10.000
So where does it show that happiness comes from?
