I live life high in the blue

Here I was born, here I go down

I'm the pilot that everything looks

I fill the tank on my Cessna Plane

And fly towards the border another day

Flight Routes are, as you know,

conceived in order not to leave traces

You take me never, a winged Latino

I am the best pilot - El Chino

What happens now?

Do you have passports?

-Yes, I have my passport here.

They were filming for television.

One's from London and one from Lima.

They're going to fly a little.

Do you want to be on television?

Yes.

I thought so!

Thanks. See you, buddy.

I will indemnify you later.

why he stopped you?

They're on their guard.

They take care of us, as I said before.

Look, the car looks suspicious.

So here it is in Culiacan.

He deserved it.

No one is innocent,

live here always dangerous.

You take me never, a winged Latino

I am the best pilot - El Chino

Neither weapons or the threat of violence

has scared us half as much,

like sitting in the plane with El Chino

without really knowing where we're going.

Do you have fastened you?

To understand who is El Chapo's

gotta trip-

to the "golden triangle".

There will not be in the way that

anywhere, there are cartels of land.

The children who grow up where

do not understand that drugs are prohibited.

Their dads, using them

and grandfathers likas.

The mayor, the police...

Well, it can not be illegal.

For more than 50 years ago was one

of those kids El Chapo Guzman.

Look there, that is where we will land.

Here we are, gentlemen.

That night we slept in the heart

of the Golden Triangle.

Angus was supervised by armed men

who just speaking gringos on television.

Our host was the local Sinaloabossen

who owns the area around it.

Set your questions, we'll get to see

if I answer. There I decide.

El Senor is important

for many people.

Yes, that's right.

Why do you think he admired so?

He admired

for its ability as a leader.

We who live here depend on him.

His home in La Tuna

lies not far from here.

It takes only a few hours there.

We're just minding our data.

We have great respect for our managers.

Can we hear that something is wrong

'll solve it.

There's never any rebellion.

There's no point

to rebel against El Senor.

One or a couple of times

there have craft

somebody does not

have wanted to obey El Senor.

That was the end for them.

If, for example freight products

to border on his own hand

and pay his own business...

If you make it so you become alerted.

Other time will be killed.

He's a good friend.

He treats everyone the same.

Children, the elderly...

Everyone is treated equally,

so it has always been.

To him, everyone is equal.

He treats all of this

as part of his family.

Everyone thinks highly of him.

The children, too. They've known him since

they were kids and he is kind to them.

But he never forgets anything.

He never forgets

if anyone behaved badly towards him.

Lunchtime El Chapos army,

some of Mexico's most hunted men.

It was served meat, beer and cocaine.

Our identities were checked up

on their speed internet.

We know both of you

that El Chapo is very close now.

Why is he called El Chapo?

His parents told him

when he was little.

He called Chapo

because he was short.

Their GLRD over there

and ours here.

We heard they called him Chapo,

so then we did it, too.

He has been kind to me,

he's a good man.

He sits ill on planes

to Culican for treatment.

He did this with my one son.

He was in an accident

and got's care in Culiacan.

He did not want anything for it.

He solves everything.

Moreover, he

never drunk much.

He talked and danced with everyone,

but never chose out a girl.

He danced with one,

then he went on to the next.

Then he said goodbye and left.

We were told that the military

often come here with Helicopter-

and we were afraid

to rka bad.

Then they said they always warned

three hours before.

The soldiers here are calm,

thank goodness.

They come here sometimes,

but they let us continue working.

Then bothering us no more.

They do their checks,

then we'll continue.

The enemy comes here sometimes.

They killed my brother.

So we do not carry weapons for no reason.

Sometimes it feels like

to have to do something to cope.

If they kill my son or my brother

I gotta give back.

He is everywhere.

In Mexico.

-I Throughout Mexico.

They say they are him on the tracks...

... but he has places

to hide on.

It was awesome that he

escaped from security prison.

No one takes themselves out of there,

but he did.

Just like that.

He escaped from those

f***ing gringo area that had him.

These men smuggle cocaine

and methamphetamine across the world-

but heroin and marijuana as

cultivated here brings in billions of dollars.

So it all started,

from oranges to greener crops

The family was poor and tired

after the grass trampled Association tribulations

A lot of work, but barely anything SCREW

No wonder that conscience is bent

Unpaid wear, it can probably flinch

to save is to wipe maja

Business is all I can

It is they who have made me man

I dropped out of school

but hardly stupid

I got enough of to sell fruit

and began selling... something that gave fruit

And before I even had time to react

the company was suddenly

so much more

I have never left my Sinaloa

My crops are pastoral

And the whole world gets some

of my products is illegal

In every village, every city

can you buy my powder and leaves

I have 150.000 own agents,

far more than all the presidents

Since 2006, 50.000 dead

will probably be more - it has been necessary

All the leaders are eating out of my hand

and no one can find me in this country

It's the only language they understand

and they give me everything they frmr

I say that Pablo Escobar

that those who do not want the silver...

... get paid in the lead!

It felt strange

to fly over Mountains-

on the hunt for El Chapo

and his men

now that we knew

what was going on down there.

We wondered which of the soldiers and

their command who was working for the cartel.

He is still free.

While we are sitting here talking

he goes free.

He goes where he wants in Mexico.

He's in the cities, in the mountains...

He'll go on vacation...

The police know where he is.

It's clear that they know it.

He's in Mexico.

The police can find him,

they can do what they want.

I can assure you

that Chapo Guzmn-

do not visit restaurants

and enjoying themselves.

Without leaving any details

he lives more like Saddam Hussein.

He's hiding in small hlor

and constantly moving around-

for fear of being found.

It's going until we get him.

-How Do you know?

That I will not answer that.

We know that, but I can

do not say how we know it.

Just when we would make contact again

found the military a phone.

On it were a movie

at El Chapo who interrogated a man.

He was bound

with his pants pulled down.

Where are all from Zacatecas?
