out of the shadows. i did not know who we would be able to trust. exclusive details of this white-knuckle man hunt. we would jump out of the back of the helicopter, pure chaos. pictures seen here for the first time. secret drug dens, hidden escape rooms. it was like harry houdini. every single time we got close, the chopper would escape. it was beyond imagination. to catch the bad guy, you have to become the bad guy. you are inside this real life thriller. this is it. he is there. he is there. it was like living in a movie. hello, and welcome to dateline. he was the infamous kingpin who inspired fear amongst criminals and law enforcement, on both sides of the border. his name was el chapo. for over a decade, he evaded authorities by disappearing into a secret network of tunnels built under his many safehouses. but one man was determined to capture the fugitive and would lead his team to great lengths, even risk his own life to get the job done. here is
someone he trusted, the dea, armed with information from another case track to the cell phone of the campaign chief enforcer, picudo. he had driven at a high rate of speed from culiacán down to mazatlán. turned around, and came right back to culiacán. you have actually seen the location of where that phone is? yes. did you see it go from culiacán to mazatlán quickly? and then return? no other mission other than to take el chapo to safety? right. a famous beach resort on the mexican coast that has attracted thousands of u.s. tourists a year. it was just a two hour drive from culiacán. drew hogan and the team were ready to go, but they needed a plan first. we could not take 300 marines down to mazatlán. he would know we are coming in an instant. instead, they would stick into mazatlán under the radar
drug enforcement agent drew hogan and the team of u.s. agents and mexican marines had been close, so close, to catching el chapo guzman. but the drug kingpin had escaped through a secret tunnel under his bathtub. the trail had not gone completely cold, however. figuring el chapo had fled with someone he trusted, the dea, armed with information from another case, tracked the cell phone of the kingpin s chief enforcer, picudo. picudo had driven at a high rate of speed from culiacan down to mazatlán, turned around, and came right back to culiacan. really at the moment of escape. you could see where he left the city and i said, this is our drop. this is our drop.
