INTERVIEWER: You learned English in Colombia or in the United States or--

Watching TV, man.

INTERVIEWER: Watching TV?

Watching TV, hiding all the time. My name is Sebastián Marroquín, formerly Juan Pablo Escobar. I am the son of Pablo Escobar. I grew up living a life full of money, full of power. My father at the time, he was perhaps one of the richest men in Colombia. I realized very early that he was a bandit because he told me when I was seven years old. So you can imagine, being a child, perhaps you know the meaning of the word bandit. But you don't realize how huge the organization was that my father was in charge of.

REPORTER: Pablo Escobar has been identified by American authorities as Colombia's leading exporter of cocaine. The Escobar family has reportedly amassed nearly $2 billion smuggling 1,100 pounds of refined cocaine into the United States every month.

SEBASTIÁN MARROQUÍN: We were living in a life that we felt power was endless.

EXPERT: The Medellín Cartel was very rough, very vindictive. The Cali people, they looked at it more as a business to expand.

SEBASTIÁN MARROQUÍN: The Cali cartel took control of all the Medellín cartel routes in New York. And that made my father very upset.

SEBASTIÁN MARROQUÍN: The Mónaco building was our family home. We used to live there. But I started to be so aware of the consequences of my father's actions because I was forced to hide more than he. He was more free than I was in that time.
