There's this sense
at any moment,

that she could be implicated.

is already a fugitive,

164
00:10:56,614 --> 00:11:00,035
after this violent incident
at the Guadalajara airport.

[tense music]

166

So in 1993, when Emma
is three years old,

167
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:07,751
El Chapo is involved in
a high profile shootout,

168
00:11:07,792 --> 00:11:10,962
resulting in the death
of the Cardinal of Mexico.

169
00:11:11,046 --> 00:11:14,674
Chapo is arrested, he is put
in high security prison

170
00:11:14,758 --> 00:11:16,551
and that was the end of it.

171
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:20,764
Until his first escape,
when she was 11 years old.

172
00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:23,433
And from that moment on,

173
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:26,061
There was, you know, a bounty
on his head,

174
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:28,772
and he became a famous narco.

175
00:11:28,855 --> 00:11:32,901
He has this larger
than life outlaw story.

176
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:35,653
Chapo Guzm�n actually invented
the border tunnel.

177
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:38,782
Drug tunnels, carrying a river
of drugs into the United States.

Everybody was looking
for Chapo.

00:11:41,284 --> 00:11:44,412
See, his face was on
the TV, on the newspapers.

181

Chapo, Chapo, Chapo,
Chapo, Chapo.

He was just ahead of the game.

226
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:31,574
I started with the DEA in 1987,

227
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:32,909
and by the early 90s,

228
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:36,287
one of our main targets
was El Chapo Guzm�n.

229
00:16:36,413 --> 00:16:40,542
By 2007, he'd already been
indicted in the United States

230
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:42,711
for trafficking massive
amounts of cocaine.

231
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:46,673
We always would work with
Mexican authorities.

232
00:16:46,756 --> 00:16:48,133
0600, yes.

233
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:50,677
The problem was back then,

234
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,722
corruption is such an integral
part of how

235
00:16:53,805 --> 00:16:55,223
the law enforcement worked.

236
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:57,851
We knew that people were
tipping him off, saying,

237
00:16:57,934 --> 00:17:00,061
"Don't go here,
be sure to go there."

238
00:17:00,979 --> 00:17:02,022
It was a cat-and-mouse game,

except the mouse
had all the cards.

240
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:10,613
We first heard of Emma right
about the time of the marriage.

241
00:17:10,739 --> 00:17:13,283
A lot of us had daughters
that were Emma's age,

242
00:17:13,324 --> 00:17:15,493
and she's married Chapo,

243
00:17:15,577 --> 00:17:18,288
the most wanted man probably
in the Western Hemisphere,

244

if not the world.

245
00:17:20,123 --> 00:17:23,460

of like get that stomach twist,

After they married,
Emma moves to Culiac�n.

249
00:17:34,846 --> 00:17:36,056
It's the capital of Sinaloa,

250
00:17:36,139 --> 00:17:38,266
it's also the capital
of cartel headquarters.

251
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:40,518
And during this time,
El Chapo's mostly hiding off

252
00:17:40,602 --> 00:17:41,936
in the mountains.

in Mexico, it was
a long-distance marriage.

256

So a lot of it happens
over text,

they are the reason for
a lot of death in Mexico,

A normal people, they care
about people. They don't.

289

Chapo was in charge
of death squads,

that went to kill
people who were loyal

have come in
to the United States.

00:25:44,044 --> 00:25:47,797
We envision Chapo coming
through one of the tunnels,

and coming up
and visiting her and the twins

in the hospital.

to arrest or detain
them at the time,

00:27:13,883 --> 00:27:15,760
But we set up surveillance
around the hospital,

With the arrest of her father

had been other women.

that Chapo was in that area.

took off through the sewers.

00:54:14,754 --> 00:54:16,881
You can see the shock.

646
00:54:16,965 --> 00:54:19,968
And to a certain extent,
you can actually see the fear.

647
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:24,639
[in Spanish]

648
00:54:38,611 --> 00:54:41,573
For us, it was the ultimate
victory dance.

649
00:54:41,656 --> 00:54:44,617
That's when we knew we won.
No doubt.

650
00:54:44,701 --> 00:54:46,953
When you think back on all
the man hours

651
00:54:47,037 --> 00:54:49,289
and the sweat you put into

652
00:54:49,330 --> 00:54:52,208
locating this
very evil person.

653
00:54:52,292 --> 00:54:54,878
After all the pain and sorrow

654
00:54:54,961 --> 00:54:57,672
and loss of life that Chapo
brought to the United States,

655
00:54:58,882 --> 00:55:00,592
his extradition to the US,

656
00:55:00,675 --> 00:55:02,844
it was a proud moment
for all of us.

657
00:55:05,638 --> 00:55:07,849
There's good and bad
in everybody.

658
00:55:07,932 --> 00:55:10,268
I judge him based on

659
00:55:10,352 --> 00:55:12,771
how he has treated me
all these years.

PRODUCER: Tell us how you got
involved Joaquin Guzman.

661
00:55:19,361 --> 00:55:23,281
I took the bar on February 2018
in New York.

662
00:55:23,323 --> 00:55:25,492
And as I was waiting
for the results,

663
00:55:25,533 --> 00:55:27,786
on Craigslist, there was an ad.

paralegal,
criminal defence law firm.

666
00:55:32,916 --> 00:55:34,959
So I was like,
"Okay, bingo, that's me."

667
00:55:35,043 --> 00:55:36,795
So when they said,
"Before you accept,

668
00:55:36,836 --> 00:55:39,339
the client is
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman."

669
00:55:42,050 --> 00:55:44,678
I was like, "Awesome, great.
Where do I start?

670
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,429
Now I want to start, like,
tomorrow!"

671
00:55:46,513 --> 00:55:50,975
I mean, you have the biggest
criminal trial of the century.

672
00:55:51,059 --> 00:55:53,770
Attorneys work 30, 40 years
in their career

673
00:55:53,895 --> 00:55:55,480
to land a case like this.

674
00:55:55,605 --> 00:55:59,567
So I saw it as a professional
opportunity right away.

675
00:56:01,361 --> 00:56:03,363
When I met Mr. Guzman,

676
00:56:03,488 --> 00:56:05,281
we had a glass dividing us,

677
00:56:05,407 --> 00:56:07,909
he put his hand on the glass
and I put my hand on the glass,

678
00:56:07,992 --> 00:56:11,913
and that was like,
our first hello, and we talked.

679
00:56:11,955 --> 00:56:15,583
I love talking,
he loves talking, so we clicked.

680
00:56:17,043 --> 00:56:20,255
I met Emma not long
after I met El Chapo.

681
00:56:20,296 --> 00:56:22,757
Emma and I became friends
pretty quickly

682
00:56:22,799 --> 00:56:25,468
because of the amount of time
that we were spending together,

683
00:56:25,552 --> 00:56:27,470
and then she moved to New York

684
00:56:27,512 --> 00:56:29,055
basically when
the trial started.

The trial for
the Mexican drug lord,

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman
is underway.

688
00:57:11,222 --> 00:57:13,641
The police motorcade
taking him to the courthouse

689
00:57:13,725 --> 00:57:14,851
in Brooklyn.

690
00:57:14,934 --> 00:57:16,436
Guzman pleaded not guilty

691
00:57:16,519 --> 00:57:17,729
to 17 counts

692
00:57:17,854 --> 00:57:19,481
including drug trafficking
and murder.

693
00:57:19,522 --> 00:57:22,359
The trial definitely
was a media circus.

695

The press was there,

Trying to get a few words
out of her.

I would take Emma

Excuse me. 'Scuse me.

[camera clicking]

702
00:57:41,628 --> 00:57:44,130
I think she handled it
really well.

703
00:57:45,256 --> 00:57:46,633
I don't know
what I would have done

704
00:57:46,716 --> 00:57:48,051
had I been in her situation,

705
00:57:48,093 --> 00:57:51,221
I probably would have left
crying almost every day.

706
00:57:51,304 --> 00:57:53,014
I admire her for that, you know.

707
00:57:55,517 --> 00:57:57,435
The first thing
that Chapo would do

708
00:57:57,477 --> 00:57:58,645
when he would get
into the courtroom

709
00:57:58,728 --> 00:58:01,147
was he would turn around
and look for her.

710
00:58:02,607 --> 00:58:05,944
There was that constant longing
and tension between them.

711
00:58:07,237 --> 00:58:10,532
Where they would be making faces
and goo-goo eyes at each other.

712
00:58:11,282 --> 00:58:13,618
At least once or twice,
the judge stopped

713
00:58:13,660 --> 00:58:16,371
the proceedings, like,
"Hey, eyes up here."

714
00:58:16,413 --> 00:58:18,498
Because it would kind of get
a little bit much.

715
00:58:20,333 --> 00:58:22,794
His story is paraded out

716
00:58:22,836 --> 00:58:25,296
and all the characters come in
one by one,

717
00:58:25,380 --> 00:58:27,757
and they tell
their version of events.

718
00:58:27,882 --> 00:58:30,135
Some of the guys wouldn't even
look at Chapo.

719
00:58:30,218 --> 00:58:32,178
But others, you know,
I think one guy kind of like,

and there'd be like,

nods and there'd be like,

it was almost like
a family reunion.

723
00:58:39,227 --> 00:58:41,312
The testimonies against Chapo
mentioned that

724
00:58:41,354 --> 00:58:44,399
he ordered a lot of killings.

725
00:58:49,195 --> 00:58:54,534
Witness testimonies also
portray him as a killer.

726
00:58:57,203 --> 00:58:59,539
And testimonies about enemies

727
00:58:59,581 --> 00:59:03,752
that he ordered
to be buried alive.

728
00:59:08,048 --> 00:59:11,134
We would watch Emma
during the proceedings

729
00:59:11,259 --> 00:59:14,179
to see, how does she respond,
does she seem to already know?

730
00:59:14,721 --> 00:59:18,350
Like, what is this person's
real feeling?

[in Spanish]

733
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,231
It's obvious who Chapo was.

734
01:01:30,273 --> 01:01:32,734
Everyone knew that
if you crossed Chapo,

735
01:01:32,901 --> 01:01:34,694
you were putting your life
in danger.

736
01:01:35,278 --> 01:01:38,740
Chapo was involved violence,
a lot of violence.

737
01:01:39,491 --> 01:01:40,867
In my opinion,

738
01:01:40,909 --> 01:01:43,745
I believe she had
to at least hear

739
01:01:43,828 --> 01:01:45,830
about the killings.

740
01:01:45,914 --> 01:01:50,377
Or she probably listened
to some orders

741
01:01:50,460 --> 01:01:53,880
given to kill someone
by her husband.

742
01:01:55,215 --> 01:01:56,966
During the whole trial,

743
01:01:57,092 --> 01:02:00,345
she didn't have
any expression of surprise.

744

[in Spanish]

745
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:20,824
Throughout much of the trial,

746
01:02:20,865 --> 01:02:24,494
Emma had been really stoic
until Lucero's testimony.

747
01:02:25,161 --> 01:02:28,873
Lucero was one of the women
in Chapo's trial

748
01:02:28,915 --> 01:02:30,333
who was a lover of his,

749
01:02:30,375 --> 01:02:32,460
but she was also quite
entrenched in the business.

750
01:02:35,547 --> 01:02:38,466
Lucero immediately asserts
ownership over El Chapo.

751
01:02:38,508 --> 01:02:42,512
She refers to him as
"my husband, Joaquin."

752
01:02:42,595 --> 01:02:45,598
And Emma, she's having
a little bit of a hard time.

753
01:02:46,599 --> 01:02:50,145
That's when you saw the woman.

[in Spanish]

755
01:03:14,544 --> 01:03:19,090
The day after Lucero's
first day of testimony,

756
01:03:19,174 --> 01:03:21,384
everybody looks from Emma
to El Chapo

757
01:03:21,468 --> 01:03:23,762
and we realize that
they're wearing matching

758
01:03:23,803 --> 01:03:25,764
maroon velvet blazers.

759
01:03:26,890 --> 01:03:28,850
[in Spanish]

760
01:03:42,113 --> 01:03:44,407
It sort of felt like
this was Emma's way of asserting

761
01:03:44,449 --> 01:03:46,076
ownership over her husband.

762
01:03:47,035 --> 01:03:50,080
You're referring to my husband
as your husband,

763
01:03:50,121 --> 01:03:52,207
but he is with me

764
01:03:52,290 --> 01:03:55,001
and he is saying that
through what he's wearing.

765
01:03:56,628 --> 01:03:57,962
[in Spanish]

766
01:04:04,219 --> 01:04:06,680
Literally after
that day of testimony,

767
01:04:06,805 --> 01:04:08,348
I looked at Emma and I said,

768
01:04:08,390 --> 01:04:10,934
"Oh, what's this
with the jackets?"

769
01:04:11,101 --> 01:04:13,395
And she looked at me
and she smiled and she said,

770
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,189
"Que coincidencia."
What a coincidence.

771
01:04:20,026 --> 01:04:22,237
Let me get the door!
Outta the way. Out of the way.

772
01:04:22,404 --> 01:04:25,073
There was also a cloud
of suspicion around her,

773
01:04:25,156 --> 01:04:27,617
because there's this sense
that any moment,

774
01:04:27,701 --> 01:04:29,911
that she could be implicated.

775
01:04:31,413 --> 01:04:33,581
During the trial,

776
01:04:33,665 --> 01:04:35,750
there were a couple
of mentions of her,

777
01:04:35,875 --> 01:04:39,838
but really Emma
wasn't implicated publicly

778
01:04:40,005 --> 01:04:42,716
until Domaso Lopez.

779
01:04:45,677 --> 01:04:49,639
Damaso Lopez was the godfather

780
01:04:49,723 --> 01:04:52,434
of one of Chapo's twins
with Emma.

781
01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:55,979
He was his right hand
at the end.

782
01:04:56,062 --> 01:04:59,774
He was there with one purpose.

783
01:04:59,858 --> 01:05:04,738
To describe how he escaped.

784
01:05:06,031 --> 01:05:07,824
Who was involved.

785
01:05:07,949 --> 01:05:11,327
This was when other people
in the room started to see

786
01:05:11,494 --> 01:05:14,706
that there was more to Emma
than her curvaceous figure

787
01:05:14,748 --> 01:05:16,332
and her nice outfits.

788
01:05:16,374 --> 01:05:18,293
[tense music]

789
01:05:24,215 --> 01:05:26,593
Damaso Lopez Nunez testified

790
01:05:26,676 --> 01:05:29,220
that Emma did take part
in the escape.

791
01:05:31,306 --> 01:05:33,850
Damaso's orchestrating things
from the outside

792
01:05:33,892 --> 01:05:36,144
while Chapo's orchestrating
things from the inside.

793
01:05:36,227 --> 01:05:38,938
And Emma is that go-between.

794
01:05:39,731 --> 01:05:41,566
Her role intensifies

795
01:05:41,649 --> 01:05:44,277
as the plans continue
to take shape.

796
01:05:45,779 --> 01:05:48,698
She allegedly is quite likely

797
01:05:48,740 --> 01:05:54,037
the very person who sneaks
a GPS device to El Chapo

798
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,749
so that they can determine his
exact coordinates in the cell.

799
01:05:59,209 --> 01:06:02,045
And I think when people realize
that thing that El Chapo

800
01:06:02,128 --> 01:06:03,463
was most famous for...

801
01:06:03,630 --> 01:06:05,173
El Chapo has done it again.

802
01:06:05,256 --> 01:06:06,466

And that he's responsible

No, because she has

01:19:46,536 --> 01:19:49,039
everything she says
and everything she does.

963
01:19:49,164 --> 01:19:52,584
Though I'm sure she's deeply
conscious of that.

964
01:20:00,133 --> 01:20:02,761
We live in a day and age

965
01:20:02,844 --> 01:20:06,097
where a lot of people
are obsessed with true crime.

966
01:20:06,222 --> 01:20:08,641
It gives you your bad guys,
it gives you your good guys,

967
01:20:08,725 --> 01:20:11,311
it tells you the people
that you get to root for.

968
01:20:12,645 --> 01:20:16,524
The thing is, there's no story
that is that black and white.

969
01:20:16,649 --> 01:20:19,736
And certainly when you have
a 17-year-old

970
01:20:19,819 --> 01:20:22,739
who is married
to a high-powered drug lord,

971
01:20:22,781 --> 01:20:25,408
what was she supposed to do?

972
01:20:25,492 --> 01:20:27,118
She couldn't tell him no.

973
01:20:27,869 --> 01:20:29,704
Is a 17-year-old really capable

974
01:20:29,788 --> 01:20:31,790
of making such
a crucial decision

975
01:20:31,873 --> 01:20:33,208
that's going to impact
the rest of her life?

976
01:20:33,333 --> 01:20:35,043
I don't think
she was mature enough

977
01:20:35,168 --> 01:20:36,503
to make that decision.

978
01:20:36,628 --> 01:20:39,214
But unfortunately,
the way that the world works,

979
01:20:39,255 --> 01:20:41,758
it's something that she's going
to have to live with.

980
01:20:41,883 --> 01:20:45,595
As most people see it,
she chose evil over good.

982
01:20:49,140 --> 01:20:51,893
The war on drugs,
it's already lost.

983
01:20:52,852 --> 01:20:55,980
And around 200 people die

984
01:20:56,022 --> 01:20:58,316
every 24 hours in the US.

985
01:20:58,400 --> 01:20:59,567
By an overdose.

986
01:21:00,485 --> 01:21:02,987
Nobody knows exactly
the number of people

987
01:21:03,113 --> 01:21:06,282
who already died in Mexico
because of the war on drugs.

989

Narco traffickers

990
01:21:10,036 --> 01:21:12,372
don't see anything wrong.

991
01:21:12,455 --> 01:21:14,666
They don't feel any guilt.

992
01:21:14,749 --> 01:21:19,045
They see Narco traffic
as a normal business.

993
01:21:19,671 --> 01:21:21,506
And people die

994
01:21:21,589 --> 01:21:24,050
because of the nature
of the business.

995
01:21:25,343 --> 01:21:27,470
She was living off the profits

996
01:21:27,512 --> 01:21:30,849
of all the poison that
the Sinaloa cartel had sold.

997
01:21:30,890 --> 01:21:33,059
That's part of the crime.

998
01:21:33,143 --> 01:21:35,103
I think she got a good deal.

999
01:21:35,186 --> 01:21:37,897
And she did her time.

1000
01:21:37,981 --> 01:21:39,566
She's not the perfect victim

1001
01:21:39,691 --> 01:21:42,777
but she's also not
your quintessential criminal.

1002
01:21:43,737 --> 01:21:45,363
She was a pawn in a game

1003
01:21:45,488 --> 01:21:48,158
that she very much learned
how to play

1004
01:21:48,241 --> 01:21:50,535
and she found a way
to get out of the game.

1005
01:21:50,577 --> 01:21:52,954
And most people don't do that.

1006
01:21:53,079 --> 01:21:54,664
There's good and there's bad,
like I said.

1007
01:21:54,789 --> 01:21:57,667
And I don't think that
some of the life choices

1008
01:21:57,792 --> 01:22:00,045
should define a person.

1009
01:22:00,170 --> 01:22:01,713
She's learned a lot,

1010
01:22:01,796 --> 01:22:03,965
and I think that
at the end of the day,

1011
01:22:04,049 --> 01:22:07,719
she is ready
to put this past her

1012
01:22:07,802 --> 01:22:11,097
and start fresh
with her daughters.
