Being able to build your own prison is crazy

It's impossible that such an established drug lord didn't know his call would trace him. He was alone with hus bodyguard on that day. There is no chance he didn't know he will be killed if he made a phone call. Still he did which means he himself planned his end.

>Final 24 hours >Tells the entire plot of 2 seasons of Narcos

Moral of the story: if u aim to be a druglord, don’t have a family. Don’t give them any weakness

I remember seeing this on the news, his mom was laughing thinking they didn't get him, but his bodyguard only. Nope. He got what was coming to him. Farmers still occasionally find 45 gallon drums full of cash buried on their land and suddenly retire. So regardless if they seized his assets, he still had more than he needed for him and his family's lives. Millions are still out there.

He lived his life and died in his own terms.He decided to end it all by the phone call I would say that he is a guy who succeeded in achieving what he wanted

It does make perfect sense. A man like Escobar would not want to risk being killed by his enemies, as this would tarnish his reputation and history would paint him as the loser. And the police would much prefer to take him alive and parade him around, as that would give them far more satisfaction than killing him. He would end it on his own terms before they got the chance so that he could deny them the satisfaction. My best guess is that he probably took a few hits in the initial exchange of gunfire when they breached the door, then once he realized his wounds had made it impossible to escape he made the final decision. And because history is written by the ones who are still alive when the dust settles, the Colombian police found the wound in his ear and in a bid to preserve their ego, told the press that one of their own fired the last shot. Of course they'd want people to think they won a gunfight against the most powerful man on their continent, if people knew the truth then the legend of Escobar would have been made far more influential than it was and it would have certainly been a significant embarrassment for the police.

Very heartless he call his son and was concerned about his family but forgot that the innocent people he killed had families too

It doesn’t matter if Pablo committed suicide or was killed by the dozens of armed Colombian soldiers wanting revenge for his atrocities. He was going to die on the rooftop regardless.

Nobody’s more ruthless than the United States government.

"The purpose of war is peace" Pablo Escobar

“Bribe or a bullet” Perfectly well put.

I just came from Medellin, Colombia yesterday, and after multiples tours with colombian people, everybody claims, and even government dictates that Escobar killed himself, nobody killed him. The general of police was arrested on the 90's and recently is out of jail, because he altered the scene of crime hiding the gun Pablo used to shot himself behind the ear.

" A Bribe Or A Bullet " what a quote

So much emotional support for a criminal in the comments section. Then we wonder why society has criminals.

Crazy pablo was listed on Forbes at one point with an estimated net worth of roughly 32 billion dollars. Think he was number 4 on the list behind Sam walton, Bill gates, and one other.

Very educative video for some of us who were very young at that time .

People actually want to be like him and think of him as their idol when he was a ruthless man who killed many innocent lives and damaged even more!!!! He was a monster

I love all the experts and close personal friends of Pablo that are in the comments. It's crazy how all of them where there at all times and know how it all happened. Crazy

It's pretty poetic to see Pablo chose to save his family over his personal ambition when he was cornered just like all of his victims when they were cornered by him with same dilemma.

4:17 Escobar did not only "scolded" German government. Clearly this is not the full audio. Actually, the full audio contains even a threat from Escobar to Germany's government in which he announced he would attack not only German interests in Colombia but even the very German tourists too.

Keep going man, love your narration style!

The fact that his family and SON is still alive after his death is unbelievable.

this video is incredible im shocked i’ve never found this channel the quality is off the charts

Alot of work put into this video. Loved it

The first 2 seasons of Narcos were the best.

i have heard of this final showdown, but it varied in some detail. the other version corroborates that his wounds on the rooftop were incapacitating, but not life threatening. the task force knew if he recovered in custody, he would formulate another escape. so they gave him a kill shot in the ear. if he wanted to commit 'suicide by cop," why did he run instead of shooting it out in the room?

theres no way he lived half his life running from the law and yet he forgot that calling his family on the landline would trace him. He did it on purpose because he was running out of options. he knew he was at the end of the road and had to stop running. In fact that phone call was to his family to say goodbye. pretty obvious it was a suicide.

My wife lived through those time.. many time he would set up the "coche bomba" or the car bombs, he would detonate those bombs with no regards of the surroundings. he was truly an animal!

i can't even think of how much time and work you put in your videos

Had to stop the video 3/4ths of the way to write this comment. Glad I found your channel, this shit is interesting asf! You make it very suspenseful and entertaining.

To be honest here, the chance that a bullet would find its way to his right ear isn't small considering the fact that he was being shot at from multiple angles and by multiple officers at the same time. The fact that he has a bullet wound on the right side of his head is not proof that he killed himself when you consider the situation on the ground. Sure, it is still possible that he did, but at the end of the day, it is not impossible that it was a coincidence that one of the hundreds of bullets that were being shot found its way to his right ear.

I love the actor that played Pablo in Narcos; he was great.

He didn't plan on spending his life in prison and he did it to save his family

Dang this video have hundreds of clips! It keeps on changing and changing every 4 seconds and it connects to the script.. wow. Amazing edit.

Pablo is a true gangster. He said he would never be taken alive, and he held true to his word. Unlike EVERY OTHER supposed gangster who said the same thing, but when it came down to it, they surrendered.

Weakness of every notorious criminal are the same….family.

I heard that when pablo got cornered in the shootout that it was actually a US sniper that took that final shot, probably one of the US agents providing the oversight for that op, even though the US trained and supplied Colombian search teams took pride in claiming the “final blow”

You know, I used to find this sort of stuff fascinating. Now I would be glad if none of it existed and life was more boring. I grew up in a rough NJ neighborhood and later spent 8-years in the Army with 3-deployments (2-Iraq, 1-Afghan). Now all I want to do is live a quiet life and be with and take care of my loved ones.

actor Wagner Miora did a great job playing Escobar

Death by cop. He reportedly was obsessed with expanding and taking care of his family at any cost. He was probably in a severe depression and a strong candidate for a midlife crisis.

My uncle and cousin with their boss. Built rock waterfalls and spas for Pablo. Blindfolded to a certain point. Late 80s

Its very rare to have a friend like el limon

It's disgusting people siding him and even praising him for his horrendous act. I swear, people can be this stupid sometimes. 🤣🤣

Often these type of things arent exactly as the reports say, regardless of what that is

Awesome video. The Los pepes were brutal . Takes ruthless to take out ruthless!

Thanks for making the video 📹,

He didn't make an error, he was talking to his son on a phone he knew they were tracking him whenever he made phone calls, his son said that in multiple interviews. He let himself get caught

He’s alive and working at Juan’s Flaming Fajitas in Las Vegas.

If you ask me I like that ending better thank you for the story good job

His son went to my school and gave a conference about his life and having a drug lord as a father, it was really interesting getting to know the other side of the story

I find it stunning that his son is still alive

I still see Gustavo as the true mastermind - I think he loved Pablo so much that he allowed Pablo to take the leader role of the cartel

Great video as always, I would love to have a chat with you as I am a small youtuber and I have a ton to learn from you

don is so sick!!!. idk what it is but i obsessed w his story. he genuinely intrigues me

He wasn’t thinking. He was tired.

The infamous Coup de Grace shot from the ever vengeful Search Block.

“A bribe or a bullet” Even the literal translation sounds way better what’s the point of butchering it? “Lead or silver”

I can’t imagine being a drug lord since having to run away from the cops and having a lot of bodyguards and always having to keep a look out truly scary knowing that any second you could get shot

its mad the whole series got me liking pablo but the man was a ruthless killer

I used to praise him until I watch documentaries of his brutality. Glad he met his end

Who cares how he died. The guy was ruthless and took thousands along for the ride.

No way out. I agree. So brilliant

Truly this men has wasted his life so much. Imagine you live for 44 years, and all you made is chaos, murder, destruction, etc. His live is not worth living. Thank God he lives only for 44 years, otherwise there will be much blood that spilled.

he called his son because he was done with that life and being on the run and wanted to talk to him one last time. family man

I never understand why the US government is so interested in other country's affairs...

Such men are complex..They help and kill ruthlessly in the same life..Kills to keep up their power position and by helping they feel the power magnified I guess..

Saw this guy in Cuba last week, chill guy very professional and pleasant.

Calling his son on desperate times was his biggest mistake ever ,, and he didn’t get killed he killed himself something he never do but he did it

He’s burning in hell for all the innocent people he killed.

Anyone noticed that kick on 0:00? So savage 🤣

Legends never change their barber and their hairstyle.

So, first off, Los Pepe wasn't some "rag tag group of civilians", family. They were spearheaded by far-right, US backed (armed, trained, and funded) paramilitary forces. They were basically another army that worked closely with US agents and Escobar's rival cartels. The civilian involvement was more a PR move where they took the real anger of civilians and hid behind it to commit atrocities. The TV show Narcos, and others, BADLY overplayed how much of the cartel, his money, his men, etc, were gone at the end. He was still very rich and powerful when he died. The cartel was massive and while they did put a dent in it, it was far from done. Most went on to continue doing the same thing other another name. What had been compromised beyond repair was his reputation and relationships within the government, police, and military, and without that it was difficult to operate. If he'd had kept a low profile he may still be alive and free today. But his name being known by people in DC was a death sentence. There's also good reason to believe that he gave up his location and told his family things they already knew, making constant phone calls to his son who he previously told "the phone is death" to take the heat off them and kill himself. He was shot in the exact place he taught others to kill themselves to avoid capture. He had been shot in the back and at that point probably knew there was no escape and rather than be captured, humiliated, brutalized and tortured he very well may have shot himself. Many people believe this to be the case, even those very close to the situation on both sides including law enforcement. He swears to never surrender, never be caught, that phones are insafe, and says he'll off himself very specifically, and the day after his birthday he makes a bunch of calls he knows are dangerous to tell his son things he already knows and winds up dead taking the heat off of everyone and everything he knows and cares about. I can't say with certainty either way, but I lean towards him ending his own life once escape proves impossible and the authorities wanted the win for themselves so they fabricated the other story OR a single LEO said they killed him after finding him dead.

from the story we can conclude that,"the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Beautifully narrated...

what’s the point of living if everything you love and have is taken from you?

Yea he did a lot of shit but his mindset was totally different than most 💯 most people couldn't run an empire like this

Amazing channel

Lol had an ad for fajitas before the vid 😂 after watching vid on el chapo

Delta force sniper knocked his ass out on that rooftop yo

I don't think it was an error, he knew it was over so he called his son and knew they would find him

I tend to believe he committed suicide, because why would he make a phone call yet he knew any phone call to his family was being tapped?

These action scenes are from which series?

The more likely scenario is that Pablo fled through the rooftop hoping to escape but he was wounded and knowing he was going to be captured or killed, he did indeed turn the gun on himself and short himself in the right ear.

This guy literally thought he was some kind of god. Powerful and untouchable.

Imagine being one of the biggest drug lords and having government officials in your pocket and still being shot down like this, This game does not end well for people and imagine being at the bottom of the food chain thinking you can’t be touched smh….

It doesn't matter who killed him, it doesn't change the fact that he is dead.

God bless you all and your families 🙏🏽

I believe he killed himself. Why call his family when he knew they would find him that? He gave up, and took his life

Pablo sacrificed himself to protect his family by giving himself. He shot himself in the right ear, that shot wasn't from the search block

man great person Pablo i respect punjabi song this man name so love this man India punjab

What clips was you showing it looked like movie clips or show clips. Would really like to watch something like that

If he made the call deliberately knowing he'll get caught. Why didnt he give his son the exact locations of where he hid his plata (money) or did he tell him. On your previous videos, you said he killed everyone who knew the whereabouts of his plata so that only he knows, if so why did he not tell his son, or again I ask, did he?

man, love your documentary i myself love Don pablo tbh he is my motivation the way he handle his business and still have time for his friend and family, i wanna be him someday you know. all love, no hate from a big fan of el padrino

The beginning is so good I thought it was a game cutscene

Always seems to be one guy can outsmart one huge section of the American military!

Watching Narcos on Netflix Would have Given You All This INFORMATION 💯😂🤣✌🏻

Just finished the Pablo Escobar series yesterday 74 episodes 👌

The leg also has an artery that bleeds out so he could have done that to actually bleed out.

Calling a criminal a king 🤴 sounds CRAZY morally, his a bhad man ,wealth does not make a king,understanding humanity is king
