Will the Escapelle tablet taken on the 5th day of the cycle 2 hours after intercourse be effective?

The drug has been taken correctly, so its effectiveness will be high in your case. The risk of pregnancy is negligible. According to the information attached to Escapelle: "This drug taken within 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse prevents pregnancy in 84% . It will not prevent pregnancy in every case, and its effectiveness is greater if it is taken as soon as possible after unprotected sexual intercourse. It is best to take the medicine within the first 12 hours (...)." The given percentage refers to the percentage of avoided pregnancies (i.e. those that would have occurred without the method). But not every unprotected sexual intercourse is ultimately associated with pregnancy. Therefore, for patients, the parameter "failure rate" seems to be more understandable, i.e. the occurrence of pregnancy despite the use of the drug, which ranges from 0.6-3.1%. It is difficult to answer unequivocally what this risk may be statistically in your case, but it seems to be very low. At the right time, you will be able to perform a pregnancy test.
