El Chapo, incarcerated in Altiplano, uses bribes and strategic planning to lay the groundwork for an elaborate tunnel escape, leveraging his reputation and wealth to manipulate prison staff and security protocols.

Shownotes Transcript

It’s late 2014, and El Chapo is finally back behind bars. The prison he’s in has a reputation as a fortress - it’s even more secure than the last one. But if anyone’s going to have a crack at busting out, it’s Chapo Guzmán. Specially trained diggers hatch a plan for one of the most audacious prison breaks in history. Back at large, the sensible move is to lay low in the mountains. But Chapo can’t resist the limelight. He prepares for a sit-down. Not with his lawyers or the cops, but with the Hollywood actor Sean Penn.
