because I'm
2:23
here for my brother. Yep
2:27
mm hmm. You
2:29
have my timillion dollars And
2:32
I said, well, that's what I wanted to talk
2:35
to you about. Like I
2:38
don't ultimnion dollars. Everyone
2:41
says that. And
2:43
I said, I'm here just
2:45
kind of trying to out work this out with you. And
2:48
I've been, you know, a good customer
2:50
for many years. And I
2:53
don't owe that money in I'm here to
2:55
see if I could work some for my brother. And he's
2:57
like, why would I believe
3:00
that you don't own that money? Guard Lupa says,
3:02
you owe that money? And I believe him
3:04
either front of mine. I said, well,
3:06
sir, I mean
3:08
I wouldn't like to you. And he's
3:11
like, this has started
3:13
to be a headache, and
3:16
I'm just quiet. And
3:19
he said, your brother and
3:21
he's your twin brother. You guys looking like? I said
3:23
yeah, I said, we're looking like. And
3:26
he's like, you made
3:28
it here, like, what do you want? And you came
3:30
up here and I have your brother. You
3:34
know, I could just kill you and go about my day, right,
3:39
I said, yes, sir, I
3:41
said, but that's why I'm here. I
3:43
wouldn't come up here wasting your time
3:46
with a lie. I'm
3:48
a man of my word, and I thought
3:50
that that would make the difference. And
3:54
he said that's
3:56
fair. I said, thanks to
3:58
just blain it to you. And he said sure,
4:01
all right, come on, and
4:05
he sat down in his chair. Whenever
4:07
I sat down on his chair and were on the table and I
4:09
sat on the other side of Nightcraft the ledgers. He's
4:13
just staring at man and said, so a look, I'm
4:16
confused, because you know, I thought
4:18
I got a little bit like I just started kind of just throwing
4:21
information out there. So you got you got
4:25
when you're in like what exercise books like
4:27
just notebooks, notebooks. So
4:32
I'm opening my book. I said, first of all, sir, I
4:36
thought that Lupa was kid out
4:38
with my brother. I don't owe
4:40
that money. But I know there's a problem because
4:43
he said that what I
4:46
said, They called me and said that Loopa
4:49
was kidnet with my brother.
4:54
Why And
4:56
I'm like, I don't know, like
4:59
I'm because I know I owe some money.
5:01
I've been giving payments. I've been giving
5:03
regular payments. There's
5:06
an old debt, but what about the shipment
5:08
I just received? And
5:11
he's like, but you have money.
5:14
Doloper too me that you're buying houses and horse
5:16
races and this and that. And I'm
5:19
guilty that you
5:21
know, I came under run twax upon that I
5:24
needed to get comfortable and I figured that
5:26
a little money I owed and I'm paying them to
5:30
me, it wasn't a debt that wasn't gonna
5:32
be paid because I'm making payments,
5:38
like bring my ladies leder
5:41

5:43
a payment on
5:45
this day, you know my brother. Actual, Look, I just
5:47
gave a pret much of the kises And at first seems
5:50
like you're you're showing me
5:52
a bunch of that I con script the pieces of paper.
5:55
I'm like, you do. I have all the accounts
5:58
of all the deposits I make. I
6:00
received her the shipments. And
6:03
he's like, Lucas said that was his said,
6:06
Lupe doesn't have no one. Lupa has me. He's
6:11
like, typically, give
6:13
me my lecture, topremus
6:16
back downstairs, come back without note book.
6:23
Give me that and he opens it up. He
6:26
puts it there and he said, what was the date? I
6:29
kind of walk around the I said, can I
6:32
So I kind of leaned over him and I'm like the
6:34
day feel last ship members this date
6:36
which she was like a week before
6:39
my brother I cannot and
6:43
like here and he's
6:45
like what day. He goes down to a bunch of numbers,
6:48
neat numbers, and he goes down to the date and
6:51
he goes around and he's like, yeah,
6:55
that was the day. That was one of the shipments. And
6:58
then and then I gave a deposit here
7:00
and here put
7:04
his haighiest tin. He's like looking at
7:08
but one of his eyes, his right
7:10
eye, it's just doesn't
7:14
move. It's just like he got a lazy
7:16
eye. He
7:19
has this theory. I know he's thinking He's
7:23
just staring at me, and I'm like afterward,
7:26
like, so, how
7:28
many ketos are you? Actually, Sally, I'm
7:32
like, well, I saw all the kettles for you anywhere
7:37
from you two kids
7:39
a month for you, and
7:41
I said, if you do the match, like I can meet them
7:44
in the month. I
7:48
just wasn't tell him the truth, like, but I'm
7:51
not from here, like
7:53
I'm from chicag I could tell. And
7:55
where are you from here in Mexico? I said to him, were
7:57
listen, my father is from Ta Juan, you
8:00
know, give me my background for
8:02
me. I said, my whole family lives there and
8:06
now I up here and I've
8:09
been on the run. And he kind of just real curious
8:11
asked me all kinds of questions, you
8:13
know, because he asked me how old are you? You
8:16
know, stuff like that, like where are you from? I
8:19
know that town you know? And
8:21
what is your family do so
8:24
drugs? That's it?
8:26
And like basically, okay,
8:34
well, I'm
8:37
sorry to say, but that
8:40
money is old to me, like
8:43
the one responsibly woll for that money
8:45
is head minerally about this and
8:50
I'm not gonna forgive that that do
8:54
the only thing I could tell you that you could try to work it
8:56
out with him. Did you have money? Pay
9:00
a ten million dollars? And
9:03
he said, there's no money that's worth losing
9:05
your brother. I just lost
9:08
mine and I would pay whatever it is to just
9:10
get my brother back. What's
9:14
disappointed? Then
9:18
when you come back, we
9:20
could do business. You could
9:22
come work for me. I could give
9:24
you drugs. We
9:27
could keep making money together. And
9:30
I'm just like, Sir, I
9:33
appreciate you telling me that right now,
9:35
the only thing I'm worried about is getting
9:38
my brother back. Okay,
9:45
that's sorry, okay. And
9:47
he's like, I can't pay
9:49
the money, but I'll arrange a music You could meet
9:51
all about this and you could work it out with him.
9:54
And you know, I'm gonna find
9:56
out what look like? Why is he saying that to
9:59
just see what you could do? Come
10:01
back and see me, Like,
10:03
go work it out with him. And they don't come back and see me. And
10:09
he said, did Chap take that
10:11
watch from you? And I said,
10:13
no, sir, Are you sure?
10:16
I said, no, Sir, I
10:19
gave it to him. Why would you give it to him?
10:22
I said, because he's bringing me to
10:25
meet you. You
10:28
don't owe him nothing for this. You
10:30
want to watch back. I said,
10:33
no, sir, I said it was a gift, and
10:35
how much is a white worth? Like
10:38
afty, that's
10:41
why you don't have the ten million dollars to pay me because
10:43
you want to be giving stuff like that away. Those
10:48
things will mean nothing to me. You
10:50
know, my brother's life as well means
10:52
everything to me. And I just
10:55
felt like whoever was helping me deserve
10:57
something. He
11:00
like, I'll get back and watch and
11:03
I was like, no, that's that
11:05
was a little bit like strange story because he
11:07
was still being It was like he
11:10
didn't like the steam part eating like somebody
11:13
taking advantage, but it
11:17
just re spontis and he
11:20
said, excuse me for what I think he went somewhere,
11:22
he answered calls he did something because
11:24
he came back. He
11:28
can't get over that. Looper was like, he
11:31
was like, there's no way. I
11:35
told him, like just think about this. Look
11:39
told you that we owed him money, but
11:41
yet he's telling us
11:44
that he's kidnapped too. And
11:47
he asked, is that what he's saying?
11:51
Yeah, why that's
11:53
what he told us to say. It
11:58
was just like, you know, put his hand in chill
12:00
like he whispered
12:03
like, oh, looka what did
12:05
you do like
12:08
you know, in a light voice, and then
12:10
he said, I
12:13
don't like liars. I'm
12:17
just like quiet, like like lions and
12:19
sister. I'm not saying that he's
12:22
lying. All
12:24
I'm saying is that this is
12:26
a misunderstanding. And
12:29
he said, you know, we're gonna
12:31
get to the bottom of this. And
12:36
he said, I'm not letting your brother go.
12:39
No, I want the money. He's
12:43
like, this is what I want you to do. I'm
12:48
going to send you back with a couple of my guys and
12:51
you gonna said, you're gonna talk to him. And
12:53
I was like, like, are you
12:56
sure he's gonna
12:58
know? Now that we know he's he's lying,
13:01
you can put my life in danger. Now he's
13:04
not gonna touch you. And
13:07
I was like, well, how do we know that? He
13:09
said because I said
13:11
so. It
13:16
didn't say wow with me. I was just envisioning,
13:18
like because
13:20
I know him, I
13:23
know what he's capable. So he
13:25
said, I want you to go back on you by recorder.
13:29
Put in your pocket, you put it somewhere just I
13:31
want I want you to talk to him. I want you to
13:34
record him. I want to listen to everything else
13:36
to say. If
13:44
you record him, and
13:46
I think he's lying. You know, we'll we'll
13:48
talk. You're gonna be in a better situation.
13:51
And I was like, oh, that's easy. Don't
13:55
want you to tell him that any move happens.
13:57
I'm telling right now if anything happens
13:59
to him or to one of you guys
14:02
whoever, just saying I'm
14:04
gonna wipe out his whole family. Oh
14:12
oh say now,
14:16
I was like something
14:19
I'm probably never thought about, especially not
14:21
in that business like recording someone. I
14:25
remember thinking, is that the way he because
14:28
he's stuck in the mountains, that the
14:30
way he was able to like no, what
14:34
was true and what was not? Like because he's not able
14:36
to sit with people, I guess you know physically
14:39
all the time. Yeah,
14:41
you wonder how much was being recorded during
14:44
that time, you
14:46
know what? Like every time, like I couldn't say he was
14:48
stare at me like a lot like something.
14:50
It was like a more observation
14:53
and sometimes was like that stare like
14:55
obser rich. I could see him just like kind of like looking
14:57
at me like yeah,
15:02
and basically was like, Okay, well
15:05
it was nice meeting you, and good luck,
15:07
hopefully you get your brother back. That
15:12
hurt. It was almost like you were.
15:14
I've reached this high of thinking everything was gonna
15:16
work out, and I
15:19
was very disappointed my
15:24
first encounter, like meeting him. It
15:26
wasn't like, oh my god, I
15:30
wasn't impressed. I was scared. For
15:32
sure. I had been there. I'm
15:35
there in pressure with him, thinking like is
15:37
this the person that everyone's always talked about?
15:41
And he's probably
15:43
looking at me like who the funk are you. I
15:53
had all those emotions of maybe, oh
15:55
my god, like I'm here. I
15:58
didn't remember thinking like be careful what you
16:00
wish for. I
16:04
could have been a little bit like start
16:07
struck a little bit. At the same time, one
16:10
thing for sure is that he
16:13
was nothing different from all the you
16:16
know, all these older men that my father had introduced
16:18
me to me as a kid. Yeah,
16:28
I went back the same route back when
16:32
we were getting back kind of late, just
16:47
the whole famite. I was exhausted, but I was just
16:49
like I just I was lost.
16:53
I was back to square one, like now I meant
16:55
the people, but still like nothing
16:58
changed now how at that time,
17:00
it was kind of starting to get upset. Looked there like why would
17:02
he do this? And it kind of like
17:05
started making sense. I started putting together that we
17:07
owed him say that we were ten million dollars was
17:09
because he must have received
17:12
a shipment of drugs and try to branch out without
17:14
us. That didn't work out, and
17:16
now he didn't have the money. He needs us to
17:19
actually pay the debt. And if
17:21
we were going to stop receiving the same
17:23
shipments from him, how was he going to pay to that? And
17:27
he looked at like, well, too bad, I'll make the pain.
17:30
That's their problems. I
17:34
was talking to me like I was disappointed. I was kind
17:36
of feeling lost, and I said, maybe he's right, maybe
17:39
I should just no matter what pay I
17:46
went back that day and said,
17:49
listen, I'm gonna call you so
17:52
you could actually me all the violence where this person
17:55
is. They came on livirus, and you can
17:57
talk to him who
17:59
we're He's gonna be okay, you're
18:02
gonna be good, like we're gonna work it out. I
18:14
made our way back. Oh
18:19
so happened to be able to call out like,
18:22
baby, I'm good. It's
18:25
like what happened? You know? She still kind of motion
18:27
to what happened. I could you imagine I was there for a gone for
18:29
hours or six hours something what
18:33
happened. It's not gonna
18:35
I remember telling you it's not gonna be that easy.
18:40
And I said, I guess there's that oh, that kind
18:42
of springing turn. I said, I'm in chapple and she said
18:45
what I said him in trouble? Are
18:47
you serious? She said, I said yeah,
18:51
And what happened that he wasn't the nicer. I
18:54
remember telling her that. He
18:58
said, don't tell mebe don't tell
19:00
me if anything. Yeah, that's
19:04
I'm looking working. Then we've got there's a couple
19:06
of hurdles, but we're gonna
19:08
work it out. M
19:15
H asked
19:27
me to go and to record
19:30
the man that has you know, was responsible for
19:33
putting me in this problem. And now
19:35
I understand it's not going to be a nice
19:38
meeting, and I
19:40
have to go. I can't say no, I'm gonna leave my brother
19:42
behind it, and then I'm gonna look like a liar.
19:46
And I said, let's go.
19:49
I'm gonna go to radio shack and
19:52
I bought these little recorders, our
19:55
c A recorders. How
19:58
about one? I kind of like,
20:01
actually, guy, how does this work? And he
20:03
kind of showed me how it worked in the head
20:05
off us b as a USB.
20:09
It was a digital one. Okay,
20:12
you know, I'll take it. You
20:15
know, once I had in my hand, I was like, okay, how do you use this?
20:19
It's, you know, just a little bit smaller
20:22
than the phone. Yeah, and it's kind
20:24
of like what half the size and with
20:27
a iPhone. I
20:30
by the recorder. I started like like messing
20:32
with it, and I'm thinking that this meaning
20:35
is gonna happen like soon, a
20:38
few days whatever, how many days
20:40
passing. Finally we get to call that it's
20:42
gonna happen today. So
20:44
he's like, okay, well, we'll be there in half
20:47
an hour. I
20:49
still remember him saying, we're going in peace,
20:51
right, We're going to talk.
20:55
He's okay, just making sure and
20:58
he said, okay, let's go. Chapo
21:01
made sure that his men stayed with Jay
21:03
the entire time until he could figure
21:05
out who was lying. So it
21:07
was a team of four who headed out to Loupey's
21:10
house. Happeners. So Rawley
21:13
and Ja so
21:23
we take a couple of cars, three cars, I think we
21:27
drive past. We actually drive black.
21:30
The road is held black away from his home
21:32
that we have to drive them. I
21:35
think I felt that was close
21:38
to my brother, like weirdly because
21:40
that was the last spot I
21:42
know he went to. I
21:47
have the record in my package. I keep testing it
21:49
out, Like when
21:51
we get to the house, there's
21:53
a bunch of mucosos, So that already
21:55
kind of has me not feeling
21:58
well. Ye, we're
22:05
jumping out the vehicles the
22:07
gates there. As
22:11

23:58
He comes back up. We're gonna talk. I

24:06
he says, turned around. You know, he can taps
24:08

24:11
back of my pants, the
24:14

24:20

24:22
the other guys are searching when
24:28
he was playing you wait,
24:31
like, oh well, I was hoping,
24:33
like hopefully they're so stupid they don't even know what it is.
24:35
Right, it could be a phone, right, you
24:38

24:41

24:46
of like made me feel like I
24:48

24:55
doors opened I've been to hisself plenty of times.
24:59
Luca looks at me. He's
25:01
breathing loud and and
25:03
like just nodded my head and he he
25:06
retires sign to shake it, and I shook
25:08
his hand shaken
25:15
and and
25:17
he's like, you know, he's breathing under
25:20
his nose really like hardened. I
25:23
got angry way. It's
25:26
since he's into like four year a real like we have to
25:28
kind of school over, you know, to let everyone in.
25:31
And here it comes sous and rolling and he
25:33
extends his hand to
25:36
the souls and so let's get
25:38
the funk out of here. And
25:41
he pulled that fuck motherfucker.
25:45
You're gonna respeck me my motherfucking house,
25:47
motherfucker. And
25:50
they're like hey, you know, like stop like
25:53
you know, stop tap on this. It's
25:55
just like so it's just chill. They're
25:58
not as bush like you're gonna respect me. And
26:00
he's talking to like, no, come on, like
26:03
how am I going to respect you? I'm
26:05
gonna respect you? This is bullshit,
26:07
like you know, and I'm just like just chill,
26:10
just chill, you know, commotion
26:14
help on is like still trying to be like listen,
26:17
just calm down. He
26:19
just kind of turns his hand away, so they
26:23
kind of guide me to the dining room,
26:28
and he puts the gun to my back
26:31
like he's making sure that I'm
26:33
feeling the gun on my side. They
26:37
sent me in the head of the table.
26:42
There's barely enough room for the
26:44
gunmen to kind of like he had to pull
26:47
his gun back to kind of like have enough
26:49
room, and then he just
26:51
put it right in the back of my head. The
26:55
whole time you just had it there. Get
27:02
started off like this said why
27:06
did you do this? Just like
27:08
that, and
27:10
You're like, shut up. I've
27:13
never seen him like dad, I shut up, buck,
27:17
and he got in my face. He's
27:20
pissed, and
27:23
I just kind of try to ignore him,
27:25
and they just started talking. I was like, why
27:27
would you do this? I don't understand. Is
27:30
I don't owe you that money? And he's like, yes, you're sucking
27:32
to mother and shouting.
27:35
I'm like, let's go through the let's go to
27:37
the quinta, let's go let's look at the numbers. I
27:41
don't understand. Why would you do this? It
27:45
just kind of went out for a while. He's
27:47
been recorded, so I know, so I'm kind of trying
27:49
to provoke that conversation from him
27:53
and me went out for like an hour and a half of
27:56
just commotion. In
27:59
the beginning was a little bit timid, but I
28:01
just said, fuck it, man, like maybe
28:05
child molest men. They kind of gave me that confidence,
28:08
but I just got upset and I
28:10
just started shouting back. I
28:13
was just like, that's some fucking bullshit. Why
28:15
the did you come and say that you were
28:17
kind at too? If I'm supposed to owe you this
28:19
money, why didn't you just come getting you
28:22
know where the funk I live? Like I'm swaying,
28:26
And at one point, Lupo took his gun on and hit
28:28
me. He
28:31
kind of missed me, but he it
28:33
was with his left time he took it off his
28:36
hip. I went like all that want motion and
28:39
hit me over my head. And
28:42
when he did that, everyone got up there like don't
28:45
fucking touch him, don't touch him. The
28:49
barrel of the gun went into my neck.
28:56
I think it settled me, like I was like, oh shot
28:59
batory. I of me like it
29:04
was like a live scream like commotion. He so,
29:06
I'm not gonna let your He's I'll kill
29:09
him before I let him go, he
29:12
said, And as a matter of fact, you're
29:14
gonna bring me the fucking money. I want
29:16
my money here, he
29:18
said, go and get your money. You
29:21
have it. You have a lot of money you made.
29:23
I've seen you make the money, all
29:27
these houses and all these fucking
29:30
horses. And now I see the jealousy.
29:32
I'm like, what the fund is it to hear what I buy with my money.
29:35
I'm like, he's just throwing all these things at
29:38
me like jealousy.
29:41
I started to just let it, let things go on. I
29:43
feel like I had enough on the recording to like
29:46
say, okay, I think
29:48
I was done. We
29:52
got up, but I kind of sensed that over
29:54
the time that barrel the could kind of started
29:57
kind of loosening it up a little bit. I
30:01
went to shake lupasana heat he
30:04
turned away and
30:07
all that time and shook all
30:10
the causes him as I was there. They
30:13
walked it out with the guns still raised, and
30:18
we left just
30:23
all these thoughts. We're just going to them. I have the record.
30:26
Everyone jump in the truck and stopped the recording. The recording
30:28
what's going for like and take like two hours
30:30
almost, but I don't. I
30:35
try to play it back, and I kind of hurt things
30:37
that I didn't want to hear like, I'm not even gonna listen to this. So
30:43
we make our way back to Gurgan put
30:45
the recording back
30:48
to the trip to see Chapel. This
30:52
time is actually Army fatigues
30:56
and Tim's has Tim boots and Army fatigues.
31:00
He increached me the narca way, you know, hey,
31:02
he's like differently now a little
31:04
bit more. This is familiar, you
31:07
know, how are you like nice?
31:09
And he tells
31:11
me, you
31:13
guys got the recording. Yeah, and
31:16
he takes the recording from us, and
31:21
he's like, I don't even how to work it. So I kind of grabbed
31:23
it. I just kind of went, you know, I started
31:25
to kind of it has that little like fifteen
31:28
seconds forward, a small forward, but
31:31
I kind of look for that conversation.
31:37
I just let it play. I'm
31:39
not gonna let you. I'll
31:42
kill him before letim go. And
31:45
it's a matter of fact, you're gonna bring
31:47
me the fucking money. I want my money. Here,
31:50
go and get your money. You have it.
31:53
You have a lot of money. You made. I seen you make
31:55
the money, and you're gonna come buy
31:58
all these houses and all the fucking
32:00
horses. And why
32:02
would you do this, I don't understand. And
32:04
he had listened to recording that he just was like kind
32:07
of lost in the recording. Shot
32:10
he listened to him leaving kind of shut
32:12
it off. He was
32:14
like, oh, little Pa, you
32:17
lied to me. We're
32:20
gonna have to take care of that. But
32:24
since you've been gone, you know, I talked to, you know,
32:26
a couple of the people, and no
32:29
matter what happens, you're
32:31
gonna have to pay that money. He
32:34
looked at me. He said, listener, I just
32:37
lost my brother not so long ago. It
32:39
had been a few months. They had shot
32:41
his brother while he was imprisoned. They shot him
32:43
in prison. He said, I'll
32:46
give all the money in votes
32:49
to have my brother back. Obviously
32:52
you're making money, Obviously
32:55
you have nice things. Pay the money,
32:57
you have your brother back, and
33:00
then we'll go back to work. In
33:03
my hand like this is boss. They're
33:06
supposed to be a you know, the business
33:08
I know from Mexico is supposed to be what's
33:11
right is right, what's wrong is wrong. And
33:13
I just told you that was right. What didn't
33:15
matter, he
33:18
said, I'm gonna put you in contact with some people
33:20
who are gonna collect the money from me. Just work
33:22
it out, get your brother back, and
33:26
then we could do business. And
33:29
basically thanked, Okay,
33:32
thank you. What
33:34
was I gonna do is I
33:36
said, appreciate it? And right
33:39
then and then I just said, all right, you know what, I'm
33:43
just gonna focus on paying back to money.
33:53
So I started collecting money, started making payments.
33:58
I think I have given them like six million dollars.
34:02
It was taking me some time, Like I'm collecting money,
34:04
you know, the hardest
34:06
part is to collect like all the money off the street.
34:11
We had just finished paying a debt, you
34:14
know, from the last season. But
34:17
we're living right still. I'm thinking,
34:19
yet our company is taking a hit, but we're
34:21
living. We
34:23
probably had spent ten million dollars in just setting
34:26
up in Mexico. It's
34:29
taking me a little bit of time. And my brothers
34:31
still tied up. And
34:35
then next you know, he like it went from being
34:37
okid to like and
34:39
he was like, listen, you're brothers sick. And
34:43
I remember saying, next sick of what? He like, I
34:45
think his liver or something. I
34:48
guess the hydration. He's
34:52
out well, so and you need to hurry. And
34:54
I remember that I was getting anxious. I was like Listen,
34:58
I'm gonna give him a word. I'm paying you every dollar,
35:02
but I'm sure I think like four
35:04
million dollars. I
35:07
have around three million
35:10
dollars worth of jewelry that
35:12
you go hold. I'm not asking your take. I'm asking
35:14
you hold it, and
35:17
then I'll pay you back the money. He
35:21
said, you know, usually when we take that, we want double.
35:26
And I said, listen, I'll give you a deed. You
35:28
know, I have a deed for a three million dollar house and
35:31
the jewelry. He
35:34
said, all right, I'm
35:36
gonna send my brother to look at this stuff. I
35:39
remember, I'm like, all right. We kind of set
35:41
up and I told about
35:44
Bab and brought all the jewelry
35:46
on the table. Listen,
35:49
we're gonna give him the jewelry, but we're
35:52
gonna be fair. I don't care I spent five or
35:55
something. We're gonna be really fair.
35:58
We're not gonna over ask or
36:00
over value something. I
36:13
used to have those insecurits. I used to do
36:16
dumb things because you could who
36:19
I am today, and at times I never changed who
36:22
I was. But sometimes, like you
36:24
know how people get drunk and they are stupid.
36:26
Well, my drunk was a little bit like having money,
36:29
you know, my drunkness, so I might be like be
36:32
happy when they spent five d jewelry.
36:37
Christmas will come and I we could spend
36:39
a million dollars on gifts, not
36:41
for me, for my associates,
36:44
for my workers. Just gives. The
36:49
jeweler came in handy day because
36:51
I remember that he brought a jeweler over him
36:53
to appraise the jewelry. And I'll never every
36:56
day. He was seeing the big pieces of r and
36:58
he whispered something and
37:00
he's like, could you give me a minute in my house. I walked
37:02
away in the sure and he came back.
37:04
He said, hey, we have a problem. Some
37:08
of these things are way more than you
37:10
know. God had put tags on the tags
37:13
on every little piece, so some of these pieces are way
37:16
more more more than what
37:19
I said. Listen, I'm
37:22
not here to play games. I
37:24
know there. I
37:26
just wanted to be fair. And
37:30
then they looked at me like, I go,
37:33
okay, he
37:37
only saw like he didn't see
37:39
all the pieces. After that they were like, let's
37:41
not even think about it, let's just take it. So
37:44
they just grabbed it, okay, like they
37:46
didn't have a fair seen it. After
37:48
that they took my word like and I remember he called
37:50
his bood. He said, hey, I'm here with this, you
37:53
know. He said, you're gonna
37:55
be surprised he
37:58
undervalued all the jewelries. Uh he
38:01
if he tells you guys four, it's really more. But all
38:04
right, he got from more dollar with
38:06
the jewelry and he has a thea here for a big gass house.
38:17
M m
38:19
hm hm, m
38:23
hm m hm. The next
38:25
day, I get a call early in the
38:27
morning. It's
38:29
olivirus. He said, hey, listen,
38:33
your brother is not well. He
38:36
said it everything that you know
38:38
I've known of you, it seems like
38:40
you're you're a man of your word, and
38:43
that that says a lot. He
38:46
said, I don't want your
38:48
house. I don't want your jewelry. I want my money.
38:52
Now, do give me your word that
38:55
you're gonna pay me back my money and
39:00
I'll let your brother for to day. He
39:03
said, it's Mother's Day. I could only imager
39:05
what your mom was feeling, and
39:08
your mom should have could mother
39:10
day. And they
39:13
said, you're
39:15
putting me in a situation that anyone
39:18
in my situation will give you the word. But
39:21
I mean that you have my word,
39:24
not because I don't
39:26
have a choice because I want my
39:28
ship back. And he was
39:30
like, all right, I'll
39:33
get back to and
39:36
hung up. Rumor called an hour
39:38
later. He said, could you believe
39:40
this fucking old man don't want to let your brother go. He
39:43
was a reference to Lupe. H
40:00
mm hmm. I
40:09
got sick like I was in pain. I had like a brainy
40:12
sharp pain on my right side
40:14
of my stomach. I
40:17
remember just having a whole those those deep emotions
40:19
in my heart. I
40:23
remember hearing them, they're gonna bring me a doctor, thinking
40:25
what kind of doctor comes and treats
40:28
a captain person? At
40:31
least they're not letting me die. And
40:34
then once they see me in a really bad condition,
40:36
maybe around the fourteen day, comes straight to
40:38
offer me food that they cook, you
40:42
know, like you gotta eat. You're don't die, you
40:44
really, you try to make it up. I
40:47
could see it you're not looking at and
40:51
that he does me. And I've seen people die like this. Great
40:54
thanks. I
40:57
couldn't eat like my by that time. My happsitde
40:59
was you're not eating for two weeks?
41:01
Yeah, I coudn't even eat. But he bound me something
41:04
the Mexican like cookies
41:08
with the marshmallow and the cocolan
41:10
them, you know, and I remember
41:12
like trying to eat something. He bought some Gatora
41:15
And there's been a little more like like
41:18
there was no things that Hill keep torturing me, like you're looking
41:20
at me probably like yeah, you're not looking too
41:22
good and this whole time, but they like trying to get
41:25
get anything out of you know. The only thing the exactly
41:27
about working for chapl Mile like no, you chopl
41:29
Mile, that's a struggle his lady what didn't
41:31
say much? You know. And I hear the radios and
41:33
China on the radios and stuff, and
41:37
you know they're in their combat boots and they have their
41:40
full you know army here. How
41:44
does this? Just sitting there one
41:52
night, two in the morning, I
41:54
hear a lot of commotion and
41:59
I was just like I was saying, what's
42:01
going on? Yeah, hey,
42:04
get me able to come on? Get up? I
42:07
agrealized how weak I felt and
42:10
help fa teat I felt,
42:16
walk me out. They
42:20
probably back on the truph
42:28
do you drive me and
42:31
drive Lee? And
42:35
they I see, you know, it's a dark, completely
42:38
pitch dark rolls that don't have lights like you
42:40
know, street lights and highway lights and they
42:43
were off the road again to another
42:46
bumpy road. Were like maybe
42:49
ten minutes. Who
42:52
are you thinking at that time? That was
42:54
okay? I was dust scarious, m
43:00
m. They finally
43:02
stopped. They
43:05
pulled me out, walking
43:08
in towards the back of vehicle. I
43:12
see the red of the brake light. Second, yeah,
43:15
and I'm just kind of standing there. Kicks
43:18
me in the back of the knee. And
43:21
that moment I was like, there's a whole
43:23
summer and
43:26
we were tell you listen, not even I'm not even
43:28
say nothing. I might hold my peace and just
43:32
whatever happens does not matter here, you know, just
43:35
thinking about my brother, feeling
43:38
so much regret at the same time a
43:42
little bit of peace, but
43:45
sad to think, like that's the way you look at life, your
43:47
short life. I
43:49
don't think anyone's really filming, you know, once
43:56
that happens, if feeling too something
43:58
to my back pocket, I feelt
44:00
doing something, you know, I've felt my messy
44:02
on my shoes, you know, rememberthing
44:06
like I wish I had a paper and pen, like
44:09
I could write my name down and
44:11
put my own name in my shoes
44:13
so someone refinds me they
44:16
know who I had and
44:20
he crass my hand like pressed
44:23
a piece of paper, like I'm
44:25
handcuffed in the front in
44:27
the press of piece of paper. And he tells me, you're
44:31
lucky. This
44:34
is your brother's phone number. He
44:36
saved your life. But
44:41
don't get up, cant
44:44
hunter, don't
44:46
turn on. Don't when we come back, count
44:50
hunted. And I'm just thinking,
44:53
uff, if this really happened, is
44:56
he really gonna let me call h
45:00
Yeah. I
45:04
hear the vehicle move away. I'm
45:07
like right away searching, you
45:10
know, handcuffs like I know he took the kem
45:13
out day and he did pitch
45:16
black. I can't even see so my
45:20
hand. I could feel that he put
45:22
a phone in my pocket. You
45:25
know. I'm like trying to like do everything at the same
45:27
time. I'm pansy. I'm getting
45:29
gradful. Take the cupps up. I
45:32
remember just taking composers up a little bit
45:34
too. Only
45:37
phone he gave me it was like her, you
45:39
know, like a dirty dollar Nokia
45:41
phone with a flash and it's
45:44
like the first hole that came out with a little flash
45:46
and the topic is clear twice and I
45:52
can't see nothing. He was completely
45:55
pitch black, like I couldn't see the hand
45:57
from my face, like it was like
45:59
it might bl end. It
46:02
was just so dark, you know, there's no life. He
46:04
wanted me a little bit to look upon this characters
46:06
he starves and finally
46:10
like find the way to remove
46:12
the cut. And I
46:16
hear like animals
46:18
around me, you know, like moving around, like I
46:23
can't see it like this see him. I can
46:25
see one street bike far away, at
46:27
least a mile away, like
46:30
I said, the shape of the shadow
46:33
of building. I don't know where
46:35
I'm at. I'm looking at the phone.
46:37
I was like, I know he went that way. I think I'm
46:40
not even sure where that way it was. And I'm
46:43
like, I'm gonna walk through the street seeps O help
46:46
me seets some gold me like at least where I'm at. So
46:52
it's like three four in the morning, I'm
46:55
walking no
46:57
service, feeling
47:02
so tired. I
47:07
literally would sit on the floor and just hear animals
47:09
around me like
47:13
I'm th is cattle grazing or something like you
47:15
know, I'm kind of walking down that hill, so
47:19
darving, so tired, and it's so tired,
47:21
like I couldn't move that I can think like
47:23
I've never thought this fatigue them out like I
47:26
can't even pick my legs up. And
47:30
then I can hear dogs, party
47:32
parting arts, and then I
47:34
was I'm getting close. I see it's like a big
47:37
heard of dogs like and
47:40
grabbing big old rods something like that doesn't
47:43
killing me right, and walking
47:46
and I still a couple of little houses, like one
47:49
room houses, and the ability
47:51
was like a small school. I
47:53
remember looking at the name of school and
47:56
I'm like kind of like knocking on their fans, excuse
47:58
me, like it's going to help me. Nobody will come up. I
48:02
can imagine how that is, So
48:07
that's another thing to imagine how I look. And
48:12
I said, this ain't no work. I'm gonna
48:14
walk back the other way. But
48:16
that was like an uphill and
48:19
there it took me like I don't know. Now we're
48:21
gonna have for something. Wow.
48:24
And I look in the phone and I walking and seeing getting
48:28
a little signal the
48:36
phone rings. I
48:39
just remember hearing then for his voice. At
48:44
that time, he kind of felt like forever. Just
48:47
hearing his voice would like I
48:50
think relieved for me. I
48:53
don't even think that I even he
48:56
was able to feel anything. Then I
49:00
couldn't write. But
49:02
if I'm good to be able to hear his voice, and you
49:05
know, I'm like, where are you? And he's
49:07
like, I don't know. I'm
49:12
so weak, I can't even you can't
49:14
walk. I
49:17
see a light far away. I'm
49:19
gonna walk towards the light. And
49:22
then he would take three ex after like three steps,
49:28
I see a light. I'm gonna
49:30
guess that that's maybe a light on the road
49:32
or something. It's just
49:35
so dark. I'm
49:38
just scared. H
49:47
And I remember him saying I thought I was gonna die.
49:54
I can't even say that. I was
49:56
like, you now, you're gonna be a kids. You're
49:58
good now, Herry
50:01
upcome. I don't know where
50:03
I'm at, And I said, I know
50:05
that you're somewhere by Lucas, right,
50:09
So I'm just gonna head that way. I
50:26
remember, like, you know now I'm driving so and
50:30
I'm like, listen, how do I
50:32
know where you are? Like to me realities for me,
50:34
like I could be you
50:36
know, another state, you're in the state I don't
50:38
even know. I'm
50:42
gonna turn out my hazard
50:44
lights and flash my lights. Couldn't
50:48
you see anything? And he was like, I
50:52
see you. I pro you
50:54
are so far away, You're
50:58
somewhere else. You're so far away, a
51:01
flashing and flashing. We
51:05
had a handcuff because he's like, at the battery is low.
51:07
He said, I need to see the battery because
51:09
he was using the flashing and
51:16
he'd call me and I'd flash my lights and turn
51:18
my hands and he's like, you're getting closer,
51:22
You're getting closer. They're
51:26
can be good for a minutes. And
51:39
if I hadn't be like got to them. I
51:42
remember getting to the light where
51:44
he was in. I kind of just stopped the trucking middle
51:46
road and I looked and he was trying to walk up.
51:52
I've just seen a different person. And
51:55
he was like, we're already small. He was small. He was
51:57
like unrecognizable to me, us
52:00
filthy. When
52:03
we got up you
52:08
know, to truck and which is hard, and
52:13
kissed. It was like I was gonna
52:15
die. I
52:18
thought I did. I never see it again, and
52:20
he said like holding me, like he's
52:24
small until he probably he's
52:26
probably one twenty. He
52:29
probably left a one seven. He came back at
52:31
one. His
52:35
eyes are just sunking, and I
52:39
felt like I was looking at death, like that's how
52:42
it looks, and
52:46
he can't stay up when I'm kind of like holding
52:48
it man, I hugging
52:51

52:53

53:12

53:18

53:20

know, like how did it sound like every
53:31
imaginable thing you could think of, like just
53:34
