00:00The wife of Joaquin Guzman Loera, known as the most powerful capo in the world, is only 26 years old.
00:11She was born near San Francisco, California, but returned to Mexico shortly after.
00:16She remembers meeting El Chapo at 17, at a party in her town.
00:20He was dancing with another girl, and I was dancing with my boyfriend, who had a boyfriend at the time.
00:27We met in the middle of the dance floor, and he smiled at me.
00:33He told me,
00:36if you want to dance with him,
00:39I said, okay.
00:40Because at the ranch, even if you have a few boyfriends,
00:43you tend to dance with all the people who invite you to dance.
00:46I said, of course.
00:48From the moment you saw him, did he provoke you?
00:52He instilled a lot of confidence in me.
00:54Not suddenly as a man, but as a friend.
01:01She didn't see him again until almost a year later, in 2007,
01:05after she competed in a beauty contest at the Café y la Guayaba fair in Canelas, Durango.
01:11I won with a lot of votes.
01:14From then on,
01:17it was a scandal that he was already involved in my life,
01:24and he was not yet in my life.
01:27By then, Guzman Loera had been a fugitive for six years,
01:31after escaping in January 2001 from the maximum security prison in Puente Grande, Jalisco.
01:36How did he win you over?
01:40How did he win me over?
01:42I ask you because he is a man who has been with you for many years.
01:47It seems like a difficult relationship to understand.
01:51On several occasions, I went to his house.
01:54I say that what won me over was his way of talking to me, his way of treating me.
01:59He didn't bring me big gifts or big things.
02:02Of course not.
02:04He wins people over because of his way of being, of acting.
02:08At that time, did you already understand who Joaquín Guzman Loera was?
02:13I don't think so.
02:15But how did he treat the people around him?
02:17Very well.
02:19He doesn't distinguish between other people because he is like any other person.
02:26Anyone treats him like that.
02:28Of course, with respect, sir, or things like that,
02:31but he acts like any normal person.
02:36He is kind.
02:38He greets and talks to everyone.
02:41He sits wherever he is, eats whatever he wants, drinks whatever he wants.
02:45He is a human being like any other human being.
02:48Did you know what he did for a living?
02:50Did you know that he trafficked drugs?
02:52No.
02:54In fact, I don't know that he trafficked drugs.
02:58What do you think is what he likes most about you?
03:01That would be a question for him.
03:04I don't know.
03:06Has he ever told you?
03:08Yes, but...
03:10Was he an expressive man?
03:12Yes, he was a very expressive man.
03:14Very affectionate, very kind, very attentive, very polite.
03:17On July 2nd of that same year, the day that the colonel turned 80,
03:22they got married in a private ceremony at his house.
03:26I've heard that I don't know how many people were there,
03:30officials, I don't know.
03:32It's not true.
03:34It was just my family.
03:36The people from the ranch.
03:38There were no politicians at your wedding?
03:40Of course not.
03:41I've never seen him as a politician.
03:44Were there military men at your wedding?
03:46No.
03:48It was all very small,
03:51with just family.
03:53There were no big bands.
03:56None of that.
03:58What was your dress like?
04:00It was a white dress,
04:03like a princess.
04:05Very pretty.
04:07And what happened after that? Where did you go on your honeymoon?
04:09Nowhere.
04:11We didn't go anywhere on our honeymoon.
04:15We went to a ranch.
04:17Immediately after that,
04:19she moved from her house to Culiacán,
04:22where Guzmán Loera sent her to study.
04:24And what did you study?
04:26I studied pre-school,
04:28then I studied communication sciences.
04:30I haven't studied it,
04:32but I like journalism a lot.
04:34And how was your life with him?
04:36I can say that we've had a very good relationship.
04:39We've always gotten along very well.
04:42He's a very attentive man,
04:45very affectionate, very respectful,
04:48very happy.
04:51What makes you forget the problems
04:54when you see him,
04:56and you know he has a lot of problems,
04:58and he's like nothing.
05:00Among those problems was becoming
05:02the most wanted man in the world.
05:04When Osama Bin Laden was assassinated in 2011,
05:06El Chapo took his place on the list.
05:09How was it to be living?
05:11Did you constantly change places?
05:14Yes, I've always been changing places.
05:19I haven't had to be in any...
05:22let's say,
05:24let's go...
05:26I've been constantly changing places.
05:28I was in a place where he was already established,
05:32and it was very quiet.
05:34Yes, I heard that there were days
05:39that didn't go so well,
05:41but I wasn't there.
05:44They only saw each other on weekends,
05:46but sometimes they could spend months without meeting.
05:49She says she didn't understand
05:51the consequences of her new life
05:53until a long time later.
05:55When I started to worry more and things like that,
06:03it was when my daughters were born,
06:06and she also appeared in the media.
06:08Her twin daughters were born in 2011
06:11at Antelope Valley Hospital near Los Angeles.
06:14She says she wanted American citizens like her
06:17for her own good.
06:19Were you afraid?
06:20Exactly.
06:21I started to worry more about them,
06:26because when you have children,
06:28the way you think and the way you see life changes.
06:32And what were you thinking?
06:33What was going through your head?
06:38That my daughters couldn't grow up freely,
06:41that they couldn't always be with their dad and see him,
06:47that they couldn't be normal girls like any other girl,
06:51that they could be judged as adults,
06:55that they could be pointed out for things
06:59that they have no idea about,
07:03or that they would be told bad things about their dad,
07:06and that they could feel bad
07:12because they are being told bad things about their dad.
07:14Things that will hurt them,
07:16which is what hurts me right now.
07:20As a mother, I would like nothing to hurt them.
07:24At some point, when you had these thoughts,
07:27having your daughters in your arms,
07:29did you think,
07:32I wish Joaquin Guzman wasn't Joaquin Guzman?
07:36I wish Joaquin Guzman wasn't any other person,
07:41that he was like any other person,
07:43but that he wasn't
07:49so pointed out,
07:51that he wasn't always there,
07:54like in the eye of the hurricane.
07:56When she returns,
07:57Enma tells her version of the capture of El Chapo in Mazatlán in 2014.
08:02At the end, they arrive at the room where we were.
08:05At the minute, the one in the bathroom came out and said,
08:10don't worry, I'm here.
08:12And then, her statements regarding the video published by Rolling Stone.
08:17He sent the recording so that they could listen to it and edit it.
08:22So, this video is being broadcast without their authorization.
