00:00To hide all this countless money, they dug massive pits in the forest and buried the cash bundle by
00:04bundle. Besides that, they also built small cabins specifically to hide money, with tons of bills
00:09stuffed in the walls and ceilings. In the end, Pablo even hid many hundred dollar bills in his
00:14mother's sofa, but his mother was extremely disliked by it. Since there were so many hiding
00:20spots, Pablo hired an accountant specifically to mark each day's money hiding locations.
00:24All this money that one person couldn't spend in several lifetimes belonged to Pablo. He was
00:29the biggest drug lord in the history of the world, yet he took this money to build schools in the
00:33slums, and even gave every single resident in his hometown a hundred thousand dollars. This won him
00:37massive public support, and he nearly got elected president of Colombia. This is Narcos, a series
00:43based on true events. Pablo initially did smuggling business, specifically smuggling household appliances.
00:48By bribing all the border patrol police with money, his business went fairly smoothly, but some police
00:53were extremely greedy. They took the bribes, but still wouldn't let him through, wanting even more
00:57money. But facing these people who didn't keep their word, Pablo didn't get angry. Instead, he calmly
01:02walked up to each soldier and told them the brand of jewelry their wives wore, and what time their
01:07children got out of school. He knew their families better than they did themselves. For their family's
01:11safety, the soldiers had to let Pablo pass. With this extraordinary courage, if he only did smuggling
01:17business, Pablo could also earn endless wealth. But one day, a drug dealer nicknamed Cockroach
01:22found Pablo. He had a small drug lab, and wanted to use Pablo's smuggling channels to sell drugs to
01:27every city in Colombia. He could earn $10 per gram, but he still underestimated Pablo's ambition.
01:36This shocked Cockroach greatly. Then he took Pablo to visit his small lab. Although it looked very
01:41crude, it could produce hundreds of pounds of cocaine every day. Unexpectedly, Pablo proposed to transport
01:47a hundred pounds that same day. He immediately had his cousin buy three small cars, and put five
01:52kilograms of drugs in each tire. If sold at American prices, just this one time could make
01:56him millions. But this method could only get through domestic security checks. There was no way to
02:01transport it to America. So Pablo found a trusted American called Lion. He stuffed exactly 10 kilograms
02:06of drugs into his suit. Then Lion took the regular route, and successfully entered Miami. Because at that
02:11time, America only focused on marijuana, and was very lax about checking powder. After leaving the airport,
02:17he handed the drugs to local distributors, but then immediately rushed back to Colombia.
02:21Just like that, Lion ran back and forth between Colombia and America over a dozen times,
02:25before finally transporting this batch of goods. With the first sum of money, Pablo directly bought
02:30several large trucks to transport drugs. Because the trucks were loaded with potatoes, Border Patrol
02:35police were too lazy to check, which saved Pablo the money to bribe them. The drugs were hidden in
02:39the spare tires. The entire convoy could transport over a ton of drugs at once. To improve efficiency,
02:44Lion also hired people. He bribed airport staff with money and filled their briefcases with powder.
02:50He even hired dozens of pregnant women to have them swallow drug capsules coated with oil. Swallow 50
02:54packs and get $10,000. Because at that time, US Customs wouldn't check pregnant women. In the end,
03:00each pregnant woman's fate was different. The lucky ones could get that $10,000. The unlucky ones had drug
03:06capsules rupture in their stomachs, and the women would lose their lives because of it. As the business grew
03:10bigger and bigger, Pablo's drug trafficking channels also increased. Soon, fish bellies, shoeheels,
03:16and some other legal export goods all hit his drugs. Besides these, Pablo also thought of a method
03:21that didn't need to go through security checks, but could transport large quantities of drugs. Lion
03:25found him a pilot who flew tourist routes in America. His plane could carry one ton of cocaine at a
03:29time. But Pablo's cousin still wasn't satisfied with this. Just like that, they used every space in
03:43the plane to the extreme. With this drug trafficking airline, Pablo's drugs sold extremely fast. Soon,
03:49there was a supply shortage situation. He went to the lab to urge Cockroach to speed up the drug
03:53production process. But Cockroach's mood seemed very bad because he was in the forest every day,
03:58very bored, while Pablo and his people lived in big villas and lived wealthy lives.
04:03This made Cockroach very dissatisfied. Although on the surface he was still cooperating with Pablo,
04:08behind the scenes he had already started scheming against him. Sure enough, an accident happened
04:12that day. The police, who usually didn't check cargo, suddenly stopped the big trucks and also
04:16demanded to check their spare tires. This batch of goods was 400 kilograms, causing Pablo to lose nearly
04:22$20 million. At this moment, he no longer had his previous comm and drove straight into the police station.
