Youre now in the bedroom that the men were most fiercely defending. They did not want the teams to get in here. When the marines do get in, they find two men armed with semiautomatics. Suddenly the men change their tune and no longer want to fight. They want to surrender. In the closet they find two more men who also surrender. The marines dont know it yet, but those men are buying time for the kingpin to escape. Searching, marines find machine guns, rocket propelled grenade launchers, and grenades.

Drive five hours north of sinaloas capital, on unpaved, unmarked roads, youll find yourself in the sierra madre mountains, in the middle of nowhere, at the entrance to a small village, home to El Chapo Guzman. Interpreter this is where he lived. We respect him. The village is inside mexicos golden triangle, the heart of the countrys drug trade. For the case, all the families in this area used to work in the fields to consult vat marijuana and poppies to produce the heroin. His father used to do it. His grandfather used to do it. And at just 7, investigative journalist Anabel Hernandez says El Chapo Guzman leaves school to do it too. This man knew the boy everyone called joaquin. Interpreter we went to school together. But when he was 8, we didnt see each other anymore. He was already involved in well, in those dealings, as we say. Its difficult not to be involved in those dealings here. Theres no viable industry. Schooling is limited. The junior high is taught by television. And as el chapo tells sean penn, theres lots of poverty. Interpreter i remember how my mom made bread to support the family. I would sell it. I sold oranges. I sold soft drinks. I sold candy. In his teens, he has a fight with his father over money and decides to start his own business. His father used to spend all this money on prostitutes and to drink and these kinds of things. So when he was 15, he decided to be independent and started to have his own fields of marijuana. This man, well call. I javier, doesnt want his identity known. He says he worked as a bodyguard for el chapo in the 80s and 90s. What happens to the victims who use the drugs, who get addicted, who die . Interpreter its none of our business, who consumes those things and who doesnt. What that person consumes is that persons responsibility. The taboo that you dont do drugs doesnt exist in the same way. What are you going to turn to if youre a local merchant . What will you sell . By 1993, El Chapo Guzman is working his way up the cartel. It later splits into three groups. One is the Sinaloa Cartel. How did he distinguish himself early on . Mostly through violence. He was a killer. A hit man. The world first hears the name El Chapo Guzman that year when a beloved cardinal is killed. May 1993, the cardinal was murdered. He was gone to the airport to pick up one very important official. The official story is el chap chapos enemies send a group of assassins to kill him. They mistake the cardinals car for el chapos. There is another version. This man, attorney Jose Antonio Ortega, says theres an evidence the hit is arranged by a Government Official because the cardinal is about to rat out politicians involved in the drug business. Interpreter what happened was a state crime, which was perfectly planned and designed to eliminate the cardinal. El chapo guzman is arrested, convicted, and sent to prison for participating in the shootout as well as for other drugrelated crimes. But he denies any connection to drugs. Interpreter sir, im a farmer. In prison, officials do a psychiatric assessment of el chapo. Anabel hernandez gets ahold of it. What they discovered was El Chapo Guzman is very eccentric, he used to do manipulate people, use people. Hernandez says when he gets to Puente Grande maximum security prison, el chapo is doling out bribes. Interpreter theres talks of tens of thousands of dollars monthly which he forked over to many inmates to have him on his side and also to the guards. This prison became a resort for El Chapo Guzman. He was able to have food from the best restaurants in guadalajara. He was able also to have liquor. And el chapo, who is considered a notorious ladies man, is able to get women. Lots of women. He had to consume viagra to be able to have sex all day. He has the visit of his wife, he has the visit of prostitutes, and he also was able to have sex with a woman that works in jail. And also he was having sex with other women that were prisoners inside that jail. Attorney Jose Antonio Ortega says when he attends a did he ask deposition at the prison, el chapo acts as if hes in charge. Interpreter he welcomed us and offered us coffee, potato chips and several snacks. Ortega says el chapo delays the meeting start time by 12 hours to 10 30 at night. He said the meeting was scheduled for that time because he had a conjugal visit that day. And after the conjugal visit, he had to take a little nap and a little snack and get some rest in order to welcome me like i deserved. By the end of the year 2000, after nearly eight years behind bars, el chapo has had enough. He starts to tell to everyone, im leaving. Problem is, he has 12 years left.

It is december of 2000, and El Chapo Guzman has been living the high life behind bars, essentially running the joint, with access to plenty of women and all the best foods. Even though he still has 12 more years to serve, he decides hes been behind bars long enough. On january 19th, 2001, he escapes. The official story, a prison handyman rolls el chapo out in a laundry cart. Then theres this version. Two very high level officials of the government, they open the door and said, sir, you can leave now. Mexicos thenpresident denies it. Once again, there are two stories explaining one event involving El Chapo Guzman. Interpreter if he escaped using corruption, then it could also have been a corrupt investigation. We do live in a country where you can alter government records from top to bottom, right . That is the truth. Once outside, el chapo heads for the hills. Hes safe there, surrounded by loyal employees. Were you willing to give your life for el chapo . Interpreter of course i would have. Because that was my job, to defend him. Javier claims he was el chapos bodyguard until 1993, then went back to work for him after his escape. Interpreter we had to move every two or three days. For security reasons we always moved around. The cartel boss is moving around and moving up. Increasing his power in the drug war. He has an ambition of the business that no one else had before. The idea was, okay, why dont we create the First Federation of cartels in mexico . If we have this power together, we will be able to purchase more drugs, but also we will be in a pow position to destroy other cartels. It works. El chapos ins sinaloa ca federation is growing. Until 2008. Thats when el chapo feuds with his partners, the beltran leva brothers. They split from the cartel and stop sharing their trafficking routes. El chapo no longer has access to mexicos sonora state on the u. S. Border. And that is a game changer. That was the natural route for the trade. Once that route was closed off by the breakup, now chapo had to find another route. And thats what led them to take on simultaneously the tijuana cartel. El chapo wages war for access on two different fronts. In tijuana, which borders the greater san diego area in california, and in ciudad juarez, across the rio grande from el paso, texas. Bodies wrapped in white canvas overflow the morgue. And the city becomes a horror show. This man says hes now found god. But when sinaloa is fighting for control of juarez, he is a hitman. Interpreter we were very cruel with those people. We cut people up in pieces. We yanked off heads, hands, feet. To send a message, intimidate the enemy. Soon the violence spirals out of control. No one is safe. What you have is a breakdown of public trust. Then everything is fair game. You have men, guns, safe houses, complicity of the authorities, then the marginal cost of doing a kidnapping becomes zero. The marginal cost of extorting becomes zero. In 2009, eduardo and cheetah garcia say their son was murdered simply because he honks his horn. Interpreter he got out, his policy pistol in hand, and shot him eight times. Interpreter they ripped out part of my heart. Not once but twice. Interpreter on march 8th, 2011, i got a call on my cellphone. His daughter griselda has been kidnapped. Interpreter they said if we didnt have all the money they asked us for, they would send our daughter back to us in a box with a bullet in her head. They paid the ransom and got her back. What amount of money is too much to save your daughters life . Before el chapos cartel made its move for juarez, there were about 300 murders a year. Three years later, the number of homicides has increased tenfold, making juarez one of the deadliest cities in the world. Ahead, a breakthrough in the hunt for el chapo, from an unexpected source. The investigation was started by an agent who was very, very early in his career. Well, fantastic a lot. She lo, i do say that, you see. I study psychobiology. Im a fine arts major. Nobody really believes that i take notes this way, but they actually make sense to me. I try to balance my studying with the typical college experience. This windows pc is a life saver being able to pull up different articles to different parts of the screen is so convenient. I used to be a mac user but this is way better. In sinaloa, home state of El Chapo Guzman, everywhere you look, there are signs of his cartel. These buildings arent mansions. Theyre tombs. Monuments to wealth and death. These smaller memorials mark spots where bodies are found. And they are everywhere inside the sinaloan capital. Interpreter hit men come and kill people here and dispose of the bodies without a problem. I think every month at least five dead bodies are thrown in here. Javier valdez is a local journalist who covers the drug trade. Interpreter the government knows thats what people do. But they dont investigate them, prosecute them, or arrest them. By 2013, the u. S. Is if he had up with the impact of el chapos cartel on this side of the border. Two young people are found dead of an overdose. Police have reported 47 overdoses. If it continues, it could set a horrifying record. The death toll from drug overdoses is steadily rising. Heroin use is increasing. And more of it is coming into the u. S. Than ever before. Im not talking about one kilo, two kilos. Im talking about thousands of kilos. There are now eight u. S. Indictments charging el chapo with everything from distributing cocaine and heroin to murder. As for the Sinaloa Cartels oldest product, marijuana, tons of it are coming into the u. S. In an unusual way. You call him the tun
