1
00:03:55,514 --> 00:03:57,238
What's up mijo?

2
00:03:57,273 --> 00:03:58,927
What you got there?

3
00:03:58,962 --> 00:04:00,997
Ahh Mexican Mafia encyclopedia,

4
00:04:01,032 --> 00:04:02,263
that's a good book.

5
00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:05,413
Ernest Roybal.

6
00:04:06,870 --> 00:04:09,843
He looks familiar.

7
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,260
You were a lot younger then.

8
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:17,913
Yeah, we were some crazy vatos.

9
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:23,522
- I Learned more about you and
your friends from this book,

10
00:04:23,557 --> 00:04:25,755
than I did from you.

11
00:04:25,790 --> 00:04:27,937
The church choir knows
more about you than I do.

12
00:04:30,140 --> 00:04:32,513
I did a lot of things I'm not proud of.

13
00:04:33,537 --> 00:04:34,655
I spent 40 years of my life

14
00:04:34,690 --> 00:04:37,130
in some of the toughest
prisons in the United States,

15
00:04:37,165 --> 00:04:40,543
for multiple murders and armed robberies.

16
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:44,323
But in the end I woke up.

17
00:04:47,140 --> 00:04:48,440
Tell me your story, dad.

18
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,723
Los Angeles was a gang capital.

19
00:04:57,802 --> 00:05:00,246
And I was young and dumb.

Hold it there vato, ese.

00:05:40,994 --> 00:05:42,577
Hey holmes,this vato
gave up our dope contact,

28
00:05:42,612 --> 00:05:44,347
to the hootas?

29
00:05:44,382 --> 00:05:45,582
I didn't say anything.

30
00:05:46,630 --> 00:05:48,045
I swear.

31
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,805
Just tell us what you told them,

32
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,495
so we could do damage control.

33
00:05:51,530 --> 00:05:54,803
- All I said, we dropped
the shipment on 3rd St..

34
00:05:56,998 --> 00:05:58,148
Is that all you said?

35
00:05:59,710 --> 00:06:01,377
That's right, man.

36
00:06:02,310 --> 00:06:03,560
Orale, that's it?

37
00:06:04,977 --> 00:06:08,688
D change the drop to the Rampart location.

38
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,423

59
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:23,267
My father went off to
fight in World War II

60
00:07:23,302 --> 00:07:24,963
and my mom couldn't handle me.

61
00:07:26,020 --> 00:07:28,495
So my abuelita,

62
00:07:28,530 --> 00:07:30,386
she tried to take care of me.

63
00:07:30,421 --> 00:07:32,243
She would tie me up with a rope.

64
00:07:39,299 --> 00:07:40,756
You can get out of the ropes.

65
00:07:40,791 --> 00:07:42,759
Let's see you try to get out of these.

66
00:07:43,692 --> 00:07:44,576
What'd he do this time?

67
00:07:44,611 --> 00:07:45,460
He crashed the car.

68
00:07:47,250 --> 00:07:48,423
Don't ask.

69
00:07:50,002 --> 00:07:51,320
But I couldn't blame her.

70
00:07:51,355 --> 00:07:52,118
I was a terror.

71
00:07:52,153 --> 00:07:54,360
I was fighting everybody in my path.

72
00:07:54,395 --> 00:07:56,665
I was just causing destruction.

73
00:07:58,820 --> 00:08:01,715
Check this out, man, made this for you.

74
00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:04,550
Anytime you're angry, lay
your rage out on this.

75
00:08:04,585 --> 00:08:05,700
Let's see what you got.

76
00:08:07,090 --> 00:08:09,875
My uncle made a punching bag for me

77
00:08:09,910 --> 00:08:11,157
and it was a God send.

78
00:08:11,192 --> 00:08:12,672
Stacked this thing into a bag,

79
00:08:12,707 --> 00:08:16,448
and all my anger and
energy, I just laid into it.

80
00:08:16,483 --> 00:08:20,190
The bad part was I turned
into a good fighter.

81
00:08:20,225 --> 00:08:21,175
I became a teenager.

82
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:24,393
I didn't fear nobody and I
just would take on anybody.

83
00:08:26,551 --> 00:08:28,615
We've got a winner here.

84
00:08:28,650 --> 00:08:31,900
I heard he's a heartbreaker,
loaded with talent.

85
00:08:32,743 --> 00:08:34,243
But he will wind in prison,

86
00:08:34,278 --> 00:08:35,743
like so many of our boys do.

87
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:39,753
Invest your time in someone else.

88
00:08:41,030 --> 00:08:42,255
What are you talking about?

89
00:08:42,290 --> 00:08:45,133
He can become a champion and
get the respect of the world.

90
00:08:45,168 --> 00:08:47,979
- Hmph, not the respect of
the world he's gonna want.

91
00:08:48,014 --> 00:08:50,790
He is gonna want the
respect of his neighborhood.

92
00:08:51,730 --> 00:08:55,810
- I got recruited by the local
gyms, to fight their fighters

93
00:08:55,845 --> 00:08:57,310
and actually could have done pretty good

94
00:08:57,345 --> 00:08:58,560
if I went down that road.

95
00:08:59,810 --> 00:09:03,121
Maybe I was too busy in pharmaceuticals,

96
00:09:03,156 --> 00:09:04,961
being a salesman.

97
00:09:10,906 --> 00:09:13,490
- Man, you got a real shot
in the boxing world, Roy,

98
00:09:13,525 --> 00:09:15,337
If you can just stay out of trouble.

99
00:09:15,372 --> 00:09:17,115
Hey, trouble fights me coach.

100
00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:19,750
Yeah, prison's gonna find you too,

101
00:09:19,785 --> 00:09:21,557
You're gotta straighten up.

102
00:09:21,592 --> 00:09:23,733
We did it though.

103
00:09:25,230 --> 00:09:27,660
- You did well,I liked the
way you kept moving your head,

104
00:09:27,695 --> 00:09:29,660
get your hands up, very good.

105
00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:30,495
Very good.

106
00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:31,363
Thanks coach.

107
00:09:33,627 --> 00:09:36,020
What's up, when's the next fight?

108
00:09:36,055 --> 00:09:37,520
Son, take your time.

109
00:09:37,555 --> 00:09:38,823
Ready now.

110
00:09:38,858 --> 00:09:40,068
I found family in

111
00:09:40,103 --> 00:09:43,570
one of the oldest gangs in
Los Angeles, White Fence.

112
00:09:43,605 --> 00:09:45,305
And the founders called it that because,

113
00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:48,450
we used to hang out in front
of the Purisima Church,

114
00:09:48,485 --> 00:09:50,285
and it was surrounded by a white fence.

115
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,023
even though we were involved
in wholesome sports,

116
00:09:53,058 --> 00:09:55,727
like boxing or baseball, we
were still the hooligans.

117
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:59,120
And we'd really like
to go to school dances

118
00:09:59,155 --> 00:10:01,307
but not to dance with the girls,

119
00:10:01,342 --> 00:10:03,460
it was to fight with the vatos.

120
00:10:03,495 --> 00:10:04,930
Primera Flats and VNE.

121
00:10:12,644 --> 00:10:17,513
- Drinking a little bit of
alcohol and we dip the rag,

122
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:21,220
stuff that into the bottle,

123
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,371
and we light the rag when it's time.

124
00:10:25,406 --> 00:10:28,178
Whoo, ooh.

125
00:10:28,213 --> 00:10:30,131
Oh, yeah.

126
00:10:30,166 --> 00:10:32,015
Y'all ready?

127
00:10:32,050 --> 00:10:33,832
It's going down, guys.

128
00:10:33,867 --> 00:10:35,095
Boom.

129
00:10:35,130 --> 00:10:37,015
We used to torch fellow gangsters,

130
00:10:37,050 --> 00:10:38,900
that would come into our neighborhood

131
00:10:38,935 --> 00:10:40,415
or anybody for that matter.

132
00:10:40,450 --> 00:10:43,300
The neighborhood had a
lot of twists and turns.

133
00:10:43,335 --> 00:10:45,150
And it was easy to get lost in there.

134
00:10:46,070 --> 00:10:47,317
And all the people who did get lost

135
00:10:47,352 --> 00:10:49,830
used to throw Molotav cocktails at them.

136
00:10:49,865 --> 00:10:51,555
We were bad kids.

137
00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:54,635
We owned every square
inch of the neighborhood.

138
00:10:54,670 --> 00:10:57,283
Not even the cops went
into White Fence territory.

139
00:10:57,318 --> 00:10:59,897
Even though I used to get
tuned up by L.A.'s finest,

140
00:10:59,932 --> 00:11:01,770
"just doing their job. "

141
00:11:02,839 --> 00:11:04,368
Hey this is White Fence territory.

142
00:11:04,403 --> 00:11:05,166
Agarrarlo.

143
00:11:05,201 --> 00:11:08,160
- One day, Mike Mulhern
landed into the turf

144
00:11:08,195 --> 00:11:09,525
and I beat him pretty good.

145
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,524
As we grew up hearing
the nickname Big Mike,

146
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,601
He started getting a status.

147
00:11:14,636 --> 00:11:16,780
Later on it became my Eme comrade.

148
00:11:16,815 --> 00:11:17,953
You're not Roy, ese,

149
00:11:18,963 --> 00:11:20,647
You're Kilroy, dale!

150
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:23,520
- That's how you do it
homie, just like that.

151
00:11:23,555 --> 00:11:25,818
I never told nobody about what happened.

152
00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:28,082
He never did either, it was business.

153
00:11:28,117 --> 00:11:28,975
Orale?

154
00:11:29,010 --> 00:11:31,903
That's what's up homie, White Fence.

155
00:11:39,150 --> 00:11:41,925
So you know this term
about being jumped in?

156
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,080
We didn't get jumped in, we
already were who wee were.

157
00:11:45,115 --> 00:11:46,980
We fought every day and we enjoyed it.

158
00:11:50,665 --> 00:11:51,498
Get up!

159
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,561
Fellow prisoners came and went,

160
00:12:01,596 --> 00:12:03,603
just like life on the outside.

161
00:12:05,130 --> 00:12:08,064
But the ones that matter, my brothers,

162
00:12:08,099 --> 00:12:09,423
EME members,

163
00:12:11,290 --> 00:12:13,270
we shared a bond second to none,

164
00:12:13,305 --> 00:12:15,055
to only God and man.

165
00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:17,223
Together, we lived, loved and laughed.

166
00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:19,773
With a union so strong,

167
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:22,763
it only took a handful of carnales,

168
00:12:23,610 --> 00:12:25,942
to control the underworld of California.

169
00:12:30,830 --> 00:12:33,630
We were celebrating a gangster's release,

170
00:12:33,665 --> 00:12:34,903
smoking weed, drinking,

171
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,040
toasting his homecoming.

172
00:12:39,914 --> 00:12:41,615
Of course it took a woman to get me,

173
00:12:41,650 --> 00:12:45,474
to try heroin with her for the first time.

174
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:46,833
I want you to try this with me.

175
00:12:48,834 --> 00:12:50,483
No.

176
00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:52,670
I mean, that's not for me.

177
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:56,015
Yes it is.

178
00:12:56,050 --> 00:12:58,130
I'm gonna play pro ball, so.

179
00:12:58,165 --> 00:12:59,603
Am I for you?

180
00:13:00,510 --> 00:13:01,765
Yes.

181
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,950
Then this is for you.

182
00:13:06,694 --> 00:13:08,290
I mean...

183
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,333
Just once.

184
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,193
Okay.

185
00:13:21,390 --> 00:13:23,773
Relax.

186
00:13:25,274 --> 00:13:26,072
You dropped the goods.

187
00:13:26,107 --> 00:13:28,757
I'm not too relaxed huh?

188
00:13:31,828 --> 00:13:33,495
Gonna tie you up.

189
00:13:41,817 --> 00:13:42,879
Like that?

190
00:13:42,914 --> 00:13:43,941
Tighter.

191
00:13:49,278 --> 00:13:52,396
- You ready?
- Just be gentle.

192
00:13:52,431 --> 00:13:53,229
I will.

193
00:13:54,176 --> 00:13:56,372
♪ Don't let me go ♪

194
00:13:56,407 --> 00:13:58,533
♪ No, oh, oh, oh ♪

195
00:13:58,568 --> 00:14:01,366
♪ You got my key, you got my heart ♪

196
00:14:01,401 --> 00:14:04,765
♪ Don't let us ever be apart ♪

197
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,240
♪ Now that you know, mmmh ♪♪

198
00:14:07,275 --> 00:14:09,680
It became a lifelong addiction.

199
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,160
It didn't take long to become,"A
hope to die a dope fiend. "

200
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:19,253
I was smoking and injecting the
black gold any chance I got.

201
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:22,680
Got arrested a couple of
times under the influence

202
00:14:22,715 --> 00:14:24,130
and got locked up at Preston.

203
00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:26,810
Hoping that I was straightened out.

204
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:33,933
Ladies, today's Kilroy's last game.

205
00:14:33,968 --> 00:14:35,925
He goes home on Tuesday.

206
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:36,875
I'll miss you son.

207
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:43,050
We're ready to play.

208
00:14:43,085 --> 00:14:43,883
Us too.

209
00:14:45,973 --> 00:14:47,505
But you have three players.

210
00:14:47,540 --> 00:14:49,482
Yeah, we even brought an extra one,

211
00:14:49,517 --> 00:14:51,425
just in case your team has to pop up.

212
00:14:51,460 --> 00:14:52,823
Yeah, right?

213
00:14:53,770 --> 00:14:55,985
The dodgers were active in the community

214
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:58,720
because they were moving
from Brooklyn to Los Angeles.

215
00:14:59,710 --> 00:15:01,900
And they were building the new stadium.

216
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:04,135
On my last day in custody,

217
00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:07,223
I pitched a shut out against
one of the Dodger prospects.

218
00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:11,520
That was the first time I
really knew how good I was.

219
00:15:21,150 --> 00:15:22,173
Mr. Johnson.

220
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:24,063
Ma'am.

221
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:25,905
As I told you on the phone,

222
00:15:25,940 --> 00:15:28,370
the Los Angeles Dodgers wanna sign Ernest,

223
00:15:28,405 --> 00:15:29,835
to a major league contract.

224
00:15:29,870 --> 00:15:31,881
We're building a stadium
not far from here.

225
00:15:31,916 --> 00:15:33,893
You'll be able to watch
him play every day.

226
00:15:35,710 --> 00:15:39,530
- Mr. Johnson, I could
give you my permission,

227
00:15:39,565 --> 00:15:41,094
but that won't matter.

228
00:15:41,129 --> 00:15:42,623
He's back in jail.

229
00:15:44,630 --> 00:15:45,875
Mira Senor.

230
00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:47,335
You seem like a really nice man.

231
00:15:47,370 --> 00:15:48,760
So I'm gonna be truthful with you

232
00:15:48,795 --> 00:15:50,423
like I told the other scout.

233
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,363
I love him,

234
00:15:53,420 --> 00:15:55,770
but he's been a problem
since he was a toddler.

235
00:15:56,740 --> 00:15:59,560
And he's gonna get somebody hurt

236
00:15:59,595 --> 00:16:01,223
or get himself killed.

237
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,103
You need to just move on.

238
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,353
It's such a shame.

239
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:12,523
Your grandson's arm was a gift from God.

240
00:16:20,694 --> 00:16:23,810
- I was sent back to Preston
where fate would intervene.

241
00:16:23,845 --> 00:16:26,005
I was encourageable.

242
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,383
Pipped a guy in the head,

243
00:16:29,137 --> 00:16:31,440
I was told I was too
violent for that facility.

244
00:16:31,475 --> 00:16:34,285
Knocking out lames was my claim to fame.

245
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,875
I was sent to The Chino
Guidance Center,

246
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:39,216
where I met with Huero Buff
Flores and Hondo Lechuga.

247
00:16:39,251 --> 00:16:40,049
Kilroy. Hondo.

248
00:16:42,225 --> 00:16:44,338
It was the start of my destiny.

249
00:16:44,373 --> 00:16:46,015
Huero Buff and Hondo
sought fellow inmates,

250
00:16:46,050 --> 00:16:51,050
who shared the same idea and
it began in DVI, in 1957.

251
00:16:51,370 --> 00:16:52,525
Took a while to grow,

252
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,490
but in 1961, we had the
core group of carnales.

253
00:16:55,525 --> 00:16:58,420
And we was able to control
the inmate population.

254
00:16:58,455 --> 00:17:02,045
By 1965, we was an unstoppable force.

255
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,273
We formed an elite gang of
highly violent individuals,

256
00:17:07,180 --> 00:17:11,430
who commanded respect, answered to no one

257
00:17:11,465 --> 00:17:13,123
and dealt with the consequences.

258
00:17:14,070 --> 00:17:19,070
- Like I was saying that
only the hardcore gangsters,

259
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,140
best of the best are allowed to join.

260
00:17:22,175 --> 00:17:24,053
We call it the Mexican Mafia.

261
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:26,783
- Man, you been reading
too many books ese.

262
00:17:28,450 --> 00:17:29,963
No, see, we've been around.

263
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:36,350
We've got the respect,
status, creature comforts,

264
00:17:38,271 --> 00:17:40,603
time to take it to the next level.

265
00:17:42,556 --> 00:17:45,513
- DVI, we recruited the most
get-down gangsters out there.

266
00:17:46,570 --> 00:17:47,743
There was no rules.

267
00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:52,590
Huero Buff, Hondo, Big D, Cheyenne

268
00:17:52,625 --> 00:17:55,331
they created an reglas, a blood oath.

269
00:17:56,533 --> 00:17:59,153
And the only way you could
get out was in a box.

270
00:18:02,250 --> 00:18:03,655
This gang was called,

271
00:18:03,690 --> 00:18:05,503
I am La EME the Mexican Mafia.

272
00:18:06,617 --> 00:18:08,771
Huero was a true visionary.

273
00:18:08,806 --> 00:18:10,863
A lot of people, they
didn't see the prophecy.

274
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:15,717
But he's unquestionably
the godfather of La EME.

275
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:19,707
We need reglas carnal.

276
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:25,440
So people know what the consequences are

277
00:18:25,475 --> 00:18:26,690
of messing with La EME.

278
00:18:28,351 --> 00:18:30,067
All right lets hear em...

279
00:18:30,102 --> 00:18:31,783
The rule number one,

280
00:18:34,050 --> 00:18:35,553
EME comes before family.

281
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,923
Rule number two,

282
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,060
never acknowledge the existence of La EME.

283
00:18:46,530 --> 00:18:47,383
Number three.

284
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,943
Never raise no politics
against an EME carnal.

285
00:18:56,930 --> 00:18:59,750
Four, every new member
needs to come sponsored

286
00:18:59,785 --> 00:19:00,850
by an existing member.

287
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,643
And number five,

288
00:19:06,690 --> 00:19:08,890
a unanimous vote is
required for acceptance.

289
00:19:11,220 --> 00:19:14,957
Six, death is the only way out.

290
00:19:17,470 --> 00:19:21,073
Seven, never disrespect a fellow carnal.

291
00:19:24,570 --> 00:19:28,313
Eight, never show fear or weakness,

292
00:19:30,610 --> 00:19:31,443
nine.

293
00:19:32,885 --> 00:19:37,367
A carnal must always, always
carry out a mission or a hit,

294
00:19:38,860 --> 00:19:40,783
regardless of the odds or dangers.

295
00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:47,887
And number 10, if you sponsor
a carnal that goes bad,

296
00:19:50,373 --> 00:19:52,473
it's your responsibility to take them out.

297
00:19:57,576 --> 00:20:01,105
EME reglas

298
00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:03,140
You've been my comarada for years now.

299
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,243
La EME wants you Kilroy,

300
00:20:08,190 --> 00:20:09,790
but we're only gonna ask one time.

301
00:20:11,820 --> 00:20:12,873
You in or what, ese?

302
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:15,953
Tu Sabes.

303
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:23,500
You're going to Tracy,me San
Quentin,I'll take it with me.

304
00:20:24,876 --> 00:20:26,043
I'm in carnal.

305
00:20:32,150 --> 00:20:34,400
- To reach this level
was a dream come true

306
00:20:34,435 --> 00:20:36,705
for a violent soldier like me.

307
00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:39,270
I already had the respect
of my neighborhood,

308
00:20:39,305 --> 00:20:41,395
but this was a whole new level.

309
00:20:41,430 --> 00:20:44,870
An elite group that only
accepts the best of the best.

310
00:20:44,905 --> 00:20:48,978
True leaders, warriors, killers.

311
00:20:49,811 --> 00:20:51,827
It was an honor to be an original member.

312
00:21:03,470 --> 00:21:06,113
Nobody move, put your money out, now.

313
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,033
Now.

314
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,857
Come on, let's go.

315
00:21:16,705 --> 00:21:18,070
Don't move.

316
00:21:18,105 --> 00:21:20,830
I got a lot of respect for you.

317
00:21:20,865 --> 00:21:22,573
Don't do nothing you're gonna regret.

318
00:21:24,465 --> 00:21:25,298
The gun.

319
00:21:27,437 --> 00:21:30,090
Give me the badge.

320
00:21:30,125 --> 00:21:32,744
Now, let's go.

321
00:21:34,777 --> 00:21:35,610
You good?

322
00:21:36,897 --> 00:21:37,814
Huh?
- Yeah.

323
00:21:39,850 --> 00:21:42,000
- Don't go try nothing,
like, following us.

324
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,303
Not gonna end well.

325
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,313
Kilroy, long time.

326
00:22:18,376 --> 00:22:21,780
Orale, Detective Brando

327
00:22:21,815 --> 00:22:23,182
Long time.

328
00:22:23,217 --> 00:22:25,077
What brings you to the varrio?

329
00:22:27,099 --> 00:22:28,766
Hey, have a seat.

330
00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:34,748
Long time.

331
00:22:35,566 --> 00:22:36,983
What I do now?

332
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:40,466
Let me get right to it,

333
00:22:40,501 --> 00:22:42,410
you took my friend's duty weapon.

334
00:22:42,445 --> 00:22:43,260
He needs it back.

335
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,215
I already pawned it.

336
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:48,475
Well unpawn it.

337
00:22:48,510 --> 00:22:50,830
The man, you disrespected
is a friend of mine.

338
00:22:50,865 --> 00:22:52,592
And if he suffers any embarrassment

339
00:22:52,627 --> 00:22:54,320
it will reflect in my investigation.

340
00:22:56,220 --> 00:22:58,440
Right now, you both have
a chance to walk away

341
00:22:58,475 --> 00:22:59,740
with your heads held high.

342
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,720
And it will all end.

343
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:06,913
We good?

344
00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:11,700
Yeah, we're good.

345
00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:15,020
Don't want no trouble, just playing.

346
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,270
Tell him I say hi, huh.

347
00:23:26,605 --> 00:23:28,137
- They probably have three
to 400 members in prison

348
00:23:28,172 --> 00:23:30,035
and you double that on the outside.

349
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:31,630
You have a long, violent, bloody history.

350
00:23:31,665 --> 00:23:32,428
And the fact that

351
00:23:32,463 --> 00:23:34,305
people are starting to
turn up dead suddenly

352
00:23:34,340 --> 00:23:36,330
could serve as a wake up
call of the Mexican Mafia,

353
00:23:36,365 --> 00:23:37,975
or LA EME is no myth,

354
00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:40,120
but instead a cold blooded reality,

355
00:23:40,155 --> 00:23:41,255
born prison to survive,

356
00:23:41,290 --> 00:23:43,580
they thrive on the streets of LA, to kill.

357
00:23:43,615 --> 00:23:44,378
Now we warn you,

358
00:23:44,413 --> 00:23:46,920
there are some graphic scenes
you might find objectionable.

359
00:23:52,690 --> 00:23:54,705
- Everybody fears us,
all the prison gangs,

360
00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:57,265
they control the inside,
all the criminal activity.

361
00:23:57,300 --> 00:24:02,189
Anybody that shows weakness,
is executed without exception.

362
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:06,265
They are the gang of gangs.

363
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:11,300
Vicious, calculating, fearless, deadly.

364
00:24:11,370 --> 00:24:12,465
They kill their enemies.

365
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:14,830
They kill their own if crossed.

366
00:24:14,865 --> 00:24:16,105
To get in. you spill blood

367
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:19,095
and to leave the blood could be yours.

368
00:24:19,130 --> 00:24:22,740
This is life in La EME,
or the Mexican Mafia.

369
00:24:31,694 --> 00:24:33,093
Take a little bit for ourselves,

370
00:24:33,128 --> 00:24:34,493
take care of the Familia, huh?.

371
00:24:35,490 --> 00:24:39,393
- That's the thing, leaving
them behind it's not cool man.

372
00:24:40,471 --> 00:24:42,580
- Yeah, I know it's not
cool, but we're already in.

373
00:24:42,615 --> 00:24:44,393
It's La EME the family is inside.

374
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,105
I mean, that's the commitment, man

375
00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:51,600
That's what we said.

376
00:24:53,673 --> 00:24:56,333
Kilroy, you sure you wanna do this?

377
00:24:56,368 --> 00:24:58,993
We get caught, we get washed up homie.

378
00:25:02,407 --> 00:25:06,407
- The way I see it we get
caught, we're going home.

379
00:25:07,673 --> 00:25:08,590
Let's roll.

380
00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:45,531
Pastor Paul, can I help you?

381
00:25:45,566 --> 00:25:48,220
Yeah, I was looking for my abuelita.

382
00:25:48,255 --> 00:25:50,627
Kilroy, it's me, Sal.

383
00:25:50,662 --> 00:25:52,965
Your dad's old friend.

384
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,350
We've been praying for you.

385
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,490
I know you have been up to
no good in the neighborhood,

386
00:25:58,525 --> 00:25:59,983
but let me show you something.

387
00:26:13,180 --> 00:26:16,893
See these hands, these hands
are made to worship the Lord.

388
00:26:17,850 --> 00:26:18,863
Not to hurt anybody.

389
00:26:20,260 --> 00:26:22,700
Kilroy, God's got a plan for your life.

390
00:26:22,735 --> 00:26:24,100
We're not promised tomorrow.

391
00:26:25,030 --> 00:26:26,911
I don't wanna hear a sermon fellas,

392
00:26:26,946 --> 00:26:28,793
I just came to pick my abuelita.

393
00:26:30,117 --> 00:26:30,915
I get it.

394
00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:32,515
The Bible says in the book of Romans,

395
00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:35,250
chapter three, verse 23,
that we're all sinners.

396
00:26:35,285 --> 00:26:37,710
We've all fallen short
of the glory of God.

397
00:26:37,745 --> 00:26:38,730
We broke his commandments,

398
00:26:38,765 --> 00:26:40,105
we needed a savior.

399
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:42,750
Jesus came 2000 years
ago, died on the cross

400
00:26:43,630 --> 00:26:45,300
and He rose again.

401
00:26:45,335 --> 00:26:46,935
Resurrection power.

402
00:26:46,970 --> 00:26:49,415
If you believe in Him with your heart,

403
00:26:49,450 --> 00:26:51,906
you'll have eternal life with Him.

404
00:26:51,941 --> 00:26:54,363
Kilroy, Jesus loves you, man.

405
00:26:55,413 --> 00:26:57,480
You know those aren't the pastors words.

406
00:26:57,515 --> 00:26:58,313
That scripture.

407
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:03,733
I gotta go.

408
00:27:16,940 --> 00:27:19,890
Life seems slow on the
inside, but in reality,

409
00:27:19,925 --> 00:27:22,225
it goes as fast as it does on the outside.

410
00:27:22,260 --> 00:27:25,340
Before we knew it, our youth
had been swallowed by time.

411
00:27:25,375 --> 00:27:27,962
It left us wondering
if it was all worth it.

412
00:27:27,997 --> 00:27:30,550
We stayed busy attempting
to disguise our doubt

413
00:27:30,585 --> 00:27:32,230
and not be perceived as weak.

414
00:27:41,090 --> 00:27:42,225
Most of my days in prison

415
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:44,240
were filled of routine and laughter.

416
00:27:44,275 --> 00:27:46,235
It seems strange I say laugher.

417
00:27:46,270 --> 00:27:48,260
I could tell a joke with the best of them,

418
00:27:48,295 --> 00:27:49,715
but it was with mi compadres,

419
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:52,895
Big D, Baby Bevito, Juan Green eyes

420
00:27:52,930 --> 00:27:56,525
Pretty Bob, Sporty Gill and Champ Reynoso.

421
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,540
An inmate could almost
feel normal at the time.

422
00:27:59,575 --> 00:28:01,720
The only thing missing was a cold beer,

423
00:28:01,755 --> 00:28:03,612
women gasping in the next room

424
00:28:03,647 --> 00:28:05,435
and kids playing in the yard.

425
00:28:05,470 --> 00:28:07,705
For now, this was the only family I had.

426
00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:10,140
It was a fun and dangerous
ride with my friends.

427
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:17,270
Some nicknames were
given to us as children.

428
00:28:17,305 --> 00:28:19,440
Some are requested by the individual,

429
00:28:19,475 --> 00:28:21,165
and some just fit.

430
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,510
For pretty Bob, a highly
respected brother,

431
00:28:23,545 --> 00:28:25,375
there was really nothing else that fit.

432
00:28:25,410 --> 00:28:28,410
No matter how we tried to
look, he was still pretty.

433
00:28:28,445 --> 00:28:30,510
The girls swooned when
he looked their way,

434
00:28:30,545 --> 00:28:32,462
like he was a Hollywood star.

435
00:28:32,497 --> 00:28:34,345
Other apodos were simple, like,

436
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:37,881
Sleepy, Peanut Butter, Juan
Green eyes and Champ Reynoso.

437
00:28:37,916 --> 00:28:41,383
It's common to even not know
the person's legal name.

438
00:28:47,230 --> 00:28:48,028
Coming in to a prison,

439
00:28:48,063 --> 00:28:50,720
there will always be a
speech from the sergeant.

440
00:28:50,755 --> 00:28:52,585
It was usually about respect.

441
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:55,130
I mean, let's face it,
placing that many men together

442
00:28:55,165 --> 00:28:57,001
without the expectation of respect,

443
00:28:57,036 --> 00:28:58,802
would be a nightmare for everyone.

444
00:28:58,837 --> 00:29:01,628
For us and the officers
there was nothing personal,

445
00:29:01,663 --> 00:29:02,820
just business.

446
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,973
My name is Sergeant Smith.

447
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,400
You have been assigned to my prison,

448
00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:29,253
'cause you have been convicted of a crime.

449
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:37,500
It is my job, in this here
prison, to enforce the rules.

450
00:29:39,955 --> 00:29:40,788
And your job?

451
00:29:41,859 --> 00:29:42,883
To follow them.

452
00:29:44,468 --> 00:29:49,163
It is not my job, to display
my personal feelings,

453
00:29:50,140 --> 00:29:52,090
in regards to the nature of your crime.

454
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:56,253
You will be treated with respect.

455
00:29:58,750 --> 00:30:03,750
But I expect each one of
you to return that respect.

456
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,593
Good luck men.

457
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:24,745
We did everything we could to stay busy.

458
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:28,225
Most inmates were on the same
hamster wheel as the outside.

459
00:30:28,260 --> 00:30:31,670
Go to work at the prison job
and returned to the cell tired.

460
00:30:31,705 --> 00:30:33,930
Go to sleep and return
to work in the morning.

461
00:30:33,965 --> 00:30:35,985
Mainline wasn't bad at all.

462
00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:37,825
We could pretty much
do whatever we wanted.

463
00:30:37,860 --> 00:30:41,110
Listen to music and sports
on the prison radio system,

464
00:30:41,145 --> 00:30:43,235
play board games, read books.

465
00:30:43,270 --> 00:30:46,980
Sometimes our program went fast
and sometimes it went slow.

466
00:30:47,015 --> 00:30:48,477
But the most important game we played

467
00:30:48,512 --> 00:30:50,265
was the one in our own mind,

468
00:30:50,300 --> 00:30:52,080
pushing through another tough life.

469
00:31:05,210 --> 00:31:06,377
Come on, push.

470
00:31:07,947 --> 00:31:09,197
One more, yeah.

471
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,180
Looking good and working
out was and still is

472
00:31:16,215 --> 00:31:18,683
and will always be important for La EME.

473
00:31:19,540 --> 00:31:21,200
The high carb prison food,

474
00:31:21,235 --> 00:31:21,998
could quickly

475
00:31:22,033 --> 00:31:24,828
turn a lean individual into a sloth.

476
00:31:24,863 --> 00:31:26,128
And that could man death.

477
00:31:30,882 --> 00:31:35,882
Get off of me.

478
00:31:35,930 --> 00:31:37,860
They gave us weights to stay in shape

479
00:31:37,895 --> 00:31:39,210
and release our aggression.

480
00:31:41,875 --> 00:31:43,775
But they could also be weapons.

481
00:31:43,810 --> 00:31:46,210
We took out one of our
brothers on the wieght bench,

482
00:31:46,245 --> 00:31:47,534
with State owned tools.

483
00:31:49,940 --> 00:31:53,170
For a while, Charlie Manson,
his cell was next to mine.

484
00:31:53,205 --> 00:31:55,329
He played the crazy part for the public

485
00:31:55,364 --> 00:31:57,453
but he wasn't like that with the inmates.

486
00:31:58,470 --> 00:32:00,130
He used to sing with us all the time.

487
00:32:00,165 --> 00:32:02,322
He used to sing Barry Manilow.

488
00:32:02,357 --> 00:32:04,480
He used to sing Frank Sinatra

489
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:08,354
and he liked the Backstreet
Boys a little bit.

490
00:32:11,410 --> 00:32:14,173
Sometimes if you were still
at night you would hear,

491
00:32:16,005 --> 00:32:18,713
a blade being sharpened on the concrete.

492
00:32:20,070 --> 00:32:22,170
And you would say to yourself, who's next?

493
00:32:23,620 --> 00:32:26,850
Sometimes it was me that
was sharpening the blade,

494
00:32:26,885 --> 00:32:29,477
to maintain the fear
of everyone around me.

495
00:32:30,802 --> 00:32:32,463
How many people have you killed?

496
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:38,593
- So, all you guys already
agreed to hit Richie?

497
00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:41,330
Put your comment to the table.

498
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,233
What is it?

499
00:32:44,590 --> 00:32:46,597
He was one of our downest carnales,

500
00:32:46,632 --> 00:32:48,374
but he crossed the line.

501
00:32:48,409 --> 00:32:50,117
It's time to send him home.

502
00:32:53,368 --> 00:32:55,564
Where do you stand?

503
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:59,690
- I don't know about the rest
of you, we have no choice.

504
00:32:59,725 --> 00:33:00,640
Send him to Brazil.

505
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,072
Where do you stand?

506
00:33:05,107 --> 00:33:08,027
- Like a brother, known
him for a lot of years,

507
00:33:08,062 --> 00:33:10,660
but this is strictly business.

508
00:33:10,695 --> 00:33:12,198
Then, okay then.

509
00:33:12,233 --> 00:33:13,760
Then we'll get Spider on it

510
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,633
and we'll handle it clean.

511
00:33:20,464 --> 00:33:21,631
Orale?
- Orale.

512
00:33:26,450 --> 00:33:29,433
- I've been involved in a lot
of hits in and out of prison.

513
00:33:30,370 --> 00:33:31,683
I put in a lot of work.

514
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,920
But it was better to
get off on them first,

515
00:33:34,955 --> 00:33:36,633
before they came back and hurt us.

516
00:33:37,744 --> 00:33:42,532
I'm not proud of my past,
but I did what I did.

517
00:33:42,567 --> 00:33:45,600
And I don't think it's wise
for you to know the details.

518
00:33:45,635 --> 00:33:48,063
There's no statute of
limitations on murder.

519
00:33:53,260 --> 00:33:56,470
Another way we stayed busy was
during events back in prison

520
00:33:56,505 --> 00:33:59,001
which was mostly reserved
for the honor blocks.

521
00:33:59,036 --> 00:34:01,598
Inmates with clean time
and those who couldn't go,

522
00:34:01,633 --> 00:34:03,959
at least, listened on the
headphones in the cell.

523
00:34:03,994 --> 00:34:06,285
It was popular for bands
to visit the prison.

524
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,035
Most notably Johnny Cash.

525
00:34:09,070 --> 00:34:10,710
Once in a while the circus made it's way

526
00:34:10,745 --> 00:34:12,502
through the correction system,

527
00:34:12,537 --> 00:34:14,225
even Billy Graham came through.

528
00:34:14,260 --> 00:34:16,340
Little did I know these
seeds would grow in me,

529
00:34:16,375 --> 00:34:17,490
but more on that later.

530
00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:21,775
We also had internal tournaments

531
00:34:21,810 --> 00:34:24,810
such as handball, basketball, boxing.

532
00:34:24,845 --> 00:34:26,520
It was a reason to stay in shape

533
00:34:26,555 --> 00:34:27,675
and an opportunity for me

534
00:34:27,710 --> 00:34:30,320
to participate in the
sport I love, boxing.

535
00:34:30,355 --> 00:34:32,895
Many of the brothers were trained boxers.

536
00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:35,660
And a few of them would have
had a shot at the big time,

537
00:34:35,695 --> 00:34:37,310
had they chosen a different path.

538
00:34:50,681 --> 00:34:52,365
Cheyenne?

539
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,603
I put a lot of work.

540
00:34:55,420 --> 00:34:56,573
I earned my respect.

541
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,695
And I wanna be a carnal.

542
00:35:00,730 --> 00:35:04,002
- It doesn't work that
way ese, you don't ask us.

543
00:35:04,037 --> 00:35:06,195
Talk to him, ese.

544
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:08,193
You don't ask us, we ask you.

545
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,070
Be patient mijo, your time will come.

546
00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:18,875
Joker couldn't wait for the EME call,

547
00:35:18,910 --> 00:35:21,857
and quickly became a shot-caller
for the Nuestra Familia.

548
00:35:22,730 --> 00:35:23,815
In a few short years,

549
00:35:23,850 --> 00:35:26,545
he would be representing
our enemies from the North.

550
00:35:26,580 --> 00:35:29,240
in getting a peace treaty
made with his idol, Cheyenne.

551
00:35:34,267 --> 00:35:36,017
You're too old for this Mandi.

552
00:35:38,867 --> 00:35:40,010
You've been in there
a minute, look at you,

553
00:35:40,045 --> 00:35:41,510
already sweating, flapjacks.

554
00:35:42,864 --> 00:35:44,284
Get in here youngster.

555
00:35:44,319 --> 00:35:45,705
A huevo, man, come on.

556
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:48,006
Lemme teach you how it's done.

557
00:35:48,041 --> 00:35:48,957
You ain't teaching nobody,

558
00:35:48,992 --> 00:35:51,742
so step back before you get hurt.

559
00:35:52,756 --> 00:35:56,241
- Get in here youngster, I'm
gonna teach you a lesson.

560
00:35:56,276 --> 00:35:57,541
All right then, let's do it.

561
00:35:57,576 --> 00:35:58,456
- All right Jokes.
- Ah, there you go, Joker.

562
00:35:58,491 --> 00:36:00,168
Come one, man.

563
00:36:00,203 --> 00:36:04,090
- Mandi invited him into
the ring and Joker accepted.

564
00:36:04,125 --> 00:36:05,395
Mandi played with Joker.

565
00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:07,580
Having fun slapping him around a little.

566
00:36:07,615 --> 00:36:09,730
He didn't know how
angry Joker was getting,

567
00:36:09,765 --> 00:36:11,720
and notched up the trash talking.

568
00:36:11,755 --> 00:36:12,595
By the end of the fight,

569
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:16,820
the huffing and puffing
Joker was also talking trash.

570
00:36:16,855 --> 00:36:19,067
- Ready for this old man?
- Ready.

571
00:36:34,830 --> 00:36:37,090
- Joker had earned the
respect of every member,

572
00:36:37,125 --> 00:36:37,888
as he went toe to toe

573
00:36:37,923 --> 00:36:39,314
with a Mandi a professional Heavyweight,

574
00:36:39,349 --> 00:36:40,958
only he didn't see it that way.

575
00:36:40,993 --> 00:36:43,439
He believed he was disrespected by Mandi,

576
00:36:43,474 --> 00:36:45,929
he left the ring to
determined, to seek vengeance.

577
00:36:45,964 --> 00:36:47,762
You still want some Mandi?

578
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,515
I made a deal with a trustee

579
00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:56,325
who worked in the sergeant's office.

580
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,590
He had access to information
on incoming prisoners.

581
00:36:59,625 --> 00:37:01,510
He was successful in placing new inmates

582
00:37:01,545 --> 00:37:03,077
in specific housing units.

583
00:37:03,112 --> 00:37:04,575
He knew them by their names,

584
00:37:04,610 --> 00:37:07,045
their gang affiliations and their crimes.

585
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,676
It cost me a spoon of
heroin, every shipment.

586
00:37:09,711 --> 00:37:12,273
Federal bus is coming in tomorrow morning.

587
00:37:12,308 --> 00:37:13,106
Finally.

588
00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:17,350
Look, there's a vato named
Gonzales on that bus.

589
00:37:17,385 --> 00:37:19,235
He's got a package for us.

590
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:23,073
I need you to get his cell near me.

591
00:37:23,108 --> 00:37:24,343
Or get me the package.

592
00:37:37,501 --> 00:37:39,933
Captains calling a surprise
inspection on Thursday.

593
00:37:40,981 --> 00:37:42,065
The Goon Squad will be ready,

594
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:43,150
in case of any resistance.

595
00:37:44,210 --> 00:37:45,210
Who's on the bus?

596
00:37:47,380 --> 00:37:50,050
- This morning's crew has
a load of no accounts,

597
00:37:50,085 --> 00:37:50,900
except Joe Morgan.

598
00:37:52,380 --> 00:37:55,303
Tomorrow, one of yours is
landing, Ritchie Mendez.

599
00:37:56,270 --> 00:37:57,476
Crazy Boy.

600
00:37:57,511 --> 00:37:58,683
Si-mon.

601
00:38:00,190 --> 00:38:01,840
Make sure he gets on this tier.

602
00:38:02,770 --> 00:38:04,520
- Orale.
- Gracias.

603
00:38:04,555 --> 00:38:05,353
Alrato.

604
00:38:13,343 --> 00:38:15,650
- I was counting on the boredom
of correctional officers

605
00:38:15,685 --> 00:38:17,295
to pull up my plan.

606
00:38:17,330 --> 00:38:20,223
I mean, they was locked up
like us for 30 years, anyway.

607
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:22,563
Kilroy here.

608
00:38:23,857 --> 00:38:25,657
And I'm putting this tier on notice.

609
00:38:27,350 --> 00:38:29,443
Crazy Boy, kicked my pregnant daughter.

610
00:38:31,350 --> 00:38:33,793
You may not think it's
personal, but it is.

611
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,253
Anybody got a problem?

612
00:38:38,740 --> 00:38:39,573
Say it now.

613
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,505
In my era, we took care of the situation.

614
00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:57,930
We wanted to hit somebody, we hit them.

615
00:38:57,965 --> 00:39:00,366
Not some Sureno from the hood.

616
00:39:00,401 --> 00:39:02,402
I did my best to take him out,

617
00:39:02,437 --> 00:39:04,403
but he survived the encounter.

618
00:39:05,449 --> 00:39:08,013
And he was released from
prison shortly after.

619
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,795
Unfortunately for him,

620
00:39:12,830 --> 00:39:14,230
he was killed on the street.

621
00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:34,821
Joe Morgan was a progressive thinker.

622
00:39:34,856 --> 00:39:36,320
And was moving some of
the younger brothers

623
00:39:36,355 --> 00:39:38,400
in the organization, forward.

624
00:39:38,435 --> 00:39:39,495
He'd get them in EME,

625
00:39:39,530 --> 00:39:42,521
in which all members assisted
each other to the greater end.

626
00:39:48,561 --> 00:39:49,620
Why did you move me to your cell Joe?

627
00:39:49,655 --> 00:39:52,085
I had an open bunk.

628
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,801
Wanted to have a brother
fighting next to me.

629
00:39:54,836 --> 00:39:57,483
B.G.F. catch me without
my leg, and it's over.

630
00:40:02,379 --> 00:40:05,379
You know carnal, we could do damage,

631
00:40:06,830 --> 00:40:08,303
if we stay together.

632
00:40:09,234 --> 00:40:13,200
Veteranos and youngsters,
one vision por La EME.

633
00:40:28,484 --> 00:40:29,493
Orale.

634
00:40:29,528 --> 00:40:30,503
Orale.

635
00:40:43,485 --> 00:40:45,270
- One of the incidents
that elevated tension

636
00:40:45,305 --> 00:40:47,257
between the North and the South,

637
00:40:47,292 --> 00:40:48,872
happened in September of 1968.

638
00:40:48,907 --> 00:40:50,453
It's known as, "the Shoe War. "

639
00:40:51,550 --> 00:40:53,281
Most of the inmates were brewing pruno

640
00:40:53,316 --> 00:40:55,013
awaiting Mexican independence day.

641
00:40:57,250 --> 00:40:58,620
Carlitos took a pair of dress shoes

642
00:40:58,655 --> 00:40:59,695
from an unattended cell,

643
00:40:59,730 --> 00:41:01,940
which belonged to Hector "Mad Dog" Padilla

644
00:41:01,975 --> 00:41:03,675
and Manuel "Menito" Romero,

645
00:41:03,710 --> 00:41:06,175
both Northerners, they didn't fit.

646
00:41:06,210 --> 00:41:08,923
So Carlitos gave the
shoes to Robot as a gift.

647
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:13,160
Robot from Big Hazard,
was a get down brother,

648
00:41:13,195 --> 00:41:14,505
afraid of nothing.

649
00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:16,760
In fact, he antagonized other inmates,

650
00:41:16,795 --> 00:41:18,985
hoping for a confrontation.

651
00:41:19,020 --> 00:41:21,285
Robot, walked the tier in the shoes,

652
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,313
twirling his pocket watch as
if he was in the neighborhood.

653
00:41:25,157 --> 00:41:26,770
Padilla who had been drinking pruno

654
00:41:26,805 --> 00:41:29,225
confronted an unamused Robot,

655
00:41:29,260 --> 00:41:31,343
and demanded the shoes be returned.

656
00:41:32,321 --> 00:41:33,715
Those are my shoes, ese.

657
00:41:33,750 --> 00:41:35,495
Yeah, that's right, they're mine now.

658
00:41:35,530 --> 00:41:37,440
You came in my cell and disrespected me?

659
00:41:37,475 --> 00:41:38,445
Yeah I did, what's up?

660
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:39,580
Who do you think you are?

661
00:41:39,615 --> 00:41:40,413
I'm Robot.

662
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:44,800
- Robot refused and made
a gesture to bring it on.

663
00:41:44,835 --> 00:41:45,785
What's up?

664
00:41:45,820 --> 00:41:48,390
- Padilla stated, he would
take care of it later.

665
00:41:48,425 --> 00:41:50,665
Robot, not wanting to wait,

666
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:53,100
retrieved the shank and
bust into Padilla's cell.

667
00:41:54,077 --> 00:41:55,685
Menito was in the cell with Padilla

668
00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:58,410
and fought off Robot until
they were both stabbed.

669
00:41:58,445 --> 00:42:01,100
Both of them survived and
would later become members

670
00:42:01,135 --> 00:42:02,250
of the Nuestra Familia.

671
00:42:09,310 --> 00:42:11,440
The incident ignited about 20 inmates

672
00:42:11,475 --> 00:42:13,485
fighting a C-section cell block.

673
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,225
A Sureno got caught behind the locked gate

674
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:17,205
with three NF members.

675
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:19,893
Cricket from Diamond St.
was killed by NF Babo Sosa.

676
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,235
The bloodshed would have been worse,

677
00:42:22,270 --> 00:42:24,340
if it wasn't for the bravery
of a correctional officer,

678
00:42:24,375 --> 00:42:25,513
named Sergeant McCray.

679
00:42:26,361 --> 00:42:28,902
Who somehow separated the inmates.

680
00:42:28,937 --> 00:42:31,443
The hatred has lived on for 50 years.

681
00:42:35,601 --> 00:42:36,959
Brother, what is this anyways?

682
00:42:36,994 --> 00:42:38,282
It doesn't look that good.

683
00:42:38,317 --> 00:42:40,864
- That's the same thing
you've been eating.

684
00:42:40,899 --> 00:42:42,432
Ha, for the past couple of years?

685
00:42:45,150 --> 00:42:47,635
- Rodolfo "Cheyenne"
Cadena, was born in Texas.

686
00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:50,120
But his family moved to
Bakersfield, California,

687
00:42:50,155 --> 00:42:52,055
where he joined the Varrio Viejo Gang.

688
00:42:52,090 --> 00:42:54,740
He committed his first
murder at 16 years old.

689
00:42:54,775 --> 00:42:58,037
Hey Joe, I gotta talk to Cheyenne,

690
00:42:58,072 --> 00:43:00,541
with no one involved in our things.

691
00:43:00,576 --> 00:43:03,010
Could you step off for a little bit?

692
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:06,675
Cheyenne was a highly
respected member, of La EME.

693
00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:09,300
He was trying to establish a
peace treaty with our enemies

694
00:43:09,335 --> 00:43:12,350
from Northern California,
the Nuestra Familia.

695
00:43:12,385 --> 00:43:15,000
To form a super gang of Mexican inmates.

696
00:43:15,035 --> 00:43:16,325
Most of us fellow Canales,

697
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,400
were against peace with any northerner.

698
00:43:18,435 --> 00:43:20,507
But Cheyenne believed banding together

699
00:43:20,542 --> 00:43:22,580
would give La Raza more power and control

700
00:43:22,615 --> 00:43:23,780
than they could imagine.

701
00:43:24,742 --> 00:43:28,257
This peace treaty you're
trying, it's not gonna happen.

702
00:43:29,210 --> 00:43:30,913
In fact, you're probably gonna get killed,

703
00:43:31,970 --> 00:43:33,043
we don't want peace.

704
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,290
And you're probably gonna
get put on the list,

705
00:43:36,325 --> 00:43:37,243
figure it out.

706
00:43:39,460 --> 00:43:41,545
Orale Kilroy, think about this.

707
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:43,801
A super gang of all Mexicans,

708
00:43:43,836 --> 00:43:46,023
the best from all the pintas.

709
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,050
La EME could control California,

710
00:43:49,085 --> 00:43:50,682
maybe Nevada, Texas.

711
00:43:50,717 --> 00:43:52,280
And who knows carnal?

712
00:43:52,315 --> 00:43:53,333
Maybe the world.

713
00:43:57,660 --> 00:43:59,963
You're your own man carnal, I disagree.

714
00:44:01,710 --> 00:44:04,113
Well go and keep trucha Cheyenne.

715
00:44:05,758 --> 00:44:07,580
Though Cheyenne had earned so much respect

716
00:44:07,615 --> 00:44:08,825
from his EME brothers,

717
00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:11,725
it wasn't enough to stop
the attacks against the NF.

718
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,566
Joker and his associates
decided to end the peace talks

719
00:44:14,601 --> 00:44:17,373
by stabbing Cheyenne and
Palm hall in Chino prison.

720
00:44:18,290 --> 00:44:21,050
He was stabbed 70 times
and thrown over the rail

721
00:44:21,085 --> 00:44:22,000
three stories high.

722
00:44:32,250 --> 00:44:34,820
There were constant battles
between sworn enemies.

723
00:44:34,855 --> 00:44:37,599
La EME was aligned with the Aryan brother,

724
00:44:37,634 --> 00:44:40,343
and the BGF was aligned
with Nuestra Familia.

725
00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:43,760
We have a full fledged war right now.

726
00:44:43,795 --> 00:44:45,205
What I need you guys to do,

727
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:46,895
I need you to have eyes in the front

728
00:44:46,930 --> 00:44:49,660
and the back of your
heads at all time, 24/7.

729
00:44:49,695 --> 00:44:51,285
No passes whatsoever,

730
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,406
green light on everything on the yard.

731
00:44:53,441 --> 00:44:54,204
Do you understand?

732
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,379
So cut throat with it?

733
00:44:55,414 --> 00:44:56,485
You already know.

734
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,544
They should fear for their action.

735
00:44:58,579 --> 00:44:59,342
Let's do it man.

736
00:44:59,377 --> 00:45:02,650
- The latest attack was an
EME aggressor on a BGF member.

737
00:45:02,685 --> 00:45:06,060
The guard in the tower shot
Gabby from Florencia 13,

738
00:45:06,095 --> 00:45:08,570
as he was about to finish
up on a BGF member.

739
00:45:08,605 --> 00:45:09,985
Gabby refused the gunny

740
00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:11,874
and hopped up the yard in handcuffs.

741
00:45:35,177 --> 00:45:38,022
Lemme give you guys a couple of minutes.

742
00:45:38,057 --> 00:45:42,000
- Yo, Kilroy, sorry about your
ese getting shot in the leg.

743
00:45:42,035 --> 00:45:44,140
We don't need this thing to escalate.

744
00:45:44,175 --> 00:45:45,965
It already has.

745
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,420
- What we wanna do right
now, is call a truce.

746
00:45:48,455 --> 00:45:50,425
It was a gunman who shot him.

747
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:53,380
War on both sides will
be bad for both of us.

748
00:45:53,415 --> 00:45:56,300
My boys would die and
your boys would die too.

749
00:45:56,335 --> 00:45:57,775
As far as I'm concerned,

750
00:45:57,810 --> 00:45:59,973
there could be no peace between us.

751
00:46:00,824 --> 00:46:03,663
But I'll send the request
to the other carnales.

752
00:46:04,785 --> 00:46:06,035
And I'll get back to you.

753
00:46:33,590 --> 00:46:34,423
Kilroy.

754
00:46:38,510 --> 00:46:41,023
A.B. took a vote, we've got your back.

755
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:52,340
Carnal, speaking to the BGF is a sin.

756
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:55,790
Why didn't you come to me
to discuss the situation?

757
00:46:58,952 --> 00:47:01,363
The carnales, they all look up to us.

758
00:47:02,548 --> 00:47:04,175
We need to be united.

759
00:47:04,210 --> 00:47:06,310
I'm not against you, carnal.

760
00:47:08,244 --> 00:47:09,544
But I don't answer to you.

761
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,895
Though Joe and I didn't
really have a friendship.

762
00:47:14,930 --> 00:47:17,630
Like a brother you don't
see eye to eye with.

763
00:47:17,665 --> 00:47:20,053
We remained distant, but respectful.

764
00:47:20,909 --> 00:47:23,555
Orale?

765
00:47:23,590 --> 00:47:25,620
Everything else gonna be all right.

766
00:47:25,655 --> 00:47:27,713
I'ma talk to you later.

767
00:47:28,830 --> 00:47:29,815
- What's up carnal?
- What's up..

768
00:47:29,850 --> 00:47:31,835
Orale.

769
00:47:31,870 --> 00:47:34,261
Kilroy, we got word from the streets

770
00:47:34,296 --> 00:47:35,520
that a few carnales
are preaching the bible

771
00:47:35,555 --> 00:47:36,895
in our neighborhoods.

772
00:47:36,930 --> 00:47:39,270
They're making our gang look soft.

773
00:47:39,305 --> 00:47:40,460
We gotta take 'em out.

774
00:47:43,194 --> 00:47:46,790
- If any of you are put in
more work than those vatos,

775
00:47:46,825 --> 00:47:47,990
you get the green light.

776
00:47:49,060 --> 00:47:51,863
Otherwise, show some
respect and leave it alone.

777
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:54,970
- At least I got one of
those Bible thumpers.

778
00:47:56,650 --> 00:47:59,889
- It must be hard to hit a
carnal in their sleep, huh?

779
00:47:59,924 --> 00:48:01,383
Sabes que?

780
00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:05,130
Any of you wanna hit an older carnal,

781
00:48:05,165 --> 00:48:06,740
Come to lock up.

782
00:48:06,775 --> 00:48:08,135
In my cell.

783
00:48:08,170 --> 00:48:10,163
Today, or any day.

784
00:48:11,010 --> 00:48:12,183
We'll go life for life,

785
00:48:13,550 --> 00:48:15,089
and I don't sleep.

786
00:48:27,617 --> 00:48:30,105
Nico, I told you about the brothers

787
00:48:30,140 --> 00:48:32,090
not liking one of ours reading the Bible.

788
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,270
Kilroy, you gotta read this book.

789
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,023
It's got wars, fights,

790
00:48:42,540 --> 00:48:43,893
love stories,

791
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,623
everything you can imagine.

792
00:48:50,187 --> 00:48:52,087
You believe everything in that book?

793
00:48:53,790 --> 00:48:54,623
I do.

794
00:48:56,713 --> 00:48:57,933
I wanna preach, hermano.

795
00:49:00,410 --> 00:49:03,053
I want everybody to know about Jesus.

796
00:49:07,290 --> 00:49:09,083
You can't serve two masters carnal.

797
00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:49,150
Nico's reading the Bible a lot.

798
00:49:50,220 --> 00:49:52,393
And he's showing weakness in other areas.

799
00:49:54,030 --> 00:49:56,005
It's time we clean house.

800
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,773
Kilroy talked to him and it didn't catch.

801
00:50:01,110 --> 00:50:01,943
Okay.

802
00:50:03,495 --> 00:50:05,445
Then we all agree, he needs to be gone.

803
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,770
He's Kilroy's amigo, tell
him to take care of it.

804
00:50:11,614 --> 00:50:13,781
All right, I'll let him know.

805
00:50:18,530 --> 00:50:22,320
- I received a kite
from Joe, to do the hit.

806
00:50:22,355 --> 00:50:23,845
And I told him,

807
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,615
if you wanna do it, do it yourself.

808
00:50:26,650 --> 00:50:31,203
And it created a chasm
between the new and the old.

809
00:50:32,770 --> 00:50:36,270
I handled my business
and I expected the same.

810
00:50:36,305 --> 00:50:38,362
How are they gonna let the new generation

811
00:50:38,397 --> 00:50:40,193
tell the old generation what to do?

812
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,220
Started losing a lot of respect
and times were changing.

813
00:51:36,337 --> 00:51:37,773
Cell's just opened up.

814
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:55,553
Lock it.

815
00:52:16,860 --> 00:52:18,360
Sleepy Huerta, took him out.

816
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:21,680
Started calling himself, the professional,

817
00:52:21,715 --> 00:52:23,193
due to the surgical strike.

818
00:52:26,460 --> 00:52:27,495
Even though spoke to Nico,

819
00:52:27,530 --> 00:52:29,980
I sometimes I think I
could have stopped the hit.

820
00:52:31,953 --> 00:52:33,233
I feel bad that didn't.

821
00:52:37,407 --> 00:52:40,640
As far as I'm concerned Nico
was a martyr for the Lord.

822
00:52:40,675 --> 00:52:41,895
Sleepy and I had an argument

823
00:52:41,930 --> 00:52:43,805
about the way the hit was carried out.

824
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,430
He took offense to my words
and later attacked me.

825
00:52:47,465 --> 00:52:48,663
That was a mistake.

826
00:52:50,350 --> 00:52:53,070
Apparently there was a
new way to handle things.

827
00:52:53,105 --> 00:52:54,455
I was doing burpees.

828
00:52:54,490 --> 00:52:56,035
Peanut Butter was in front of me.

829
00:52:56,070 --> 00:52:58,790
A split second before the
attack, Sleepy yelled my name.

830
00:52:58,825 --> 00:52:59,625
Hey, Kilroy!

831
00:52:59,660 --> 00:53:00,825
He was behind me.

832
00:53:00,860 --> 00:53:03,626
I was able to limit the blade
from going deep into my chest.

833
00:53:04,814 --> 00:53:06,867
And punched Sleepy silly,
running sets on him.

834
00:53:06,902 --> 00:53:08,920
I let him loose when I saw
the gunner on the tower

835
00:53:08,955 --> 00:53:10,365
ready to shoot me.

836
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:15,365
Get down!

837
00:53:25,140 --> 00:53:26,178
How's he doing?

838
00:53:26,213 --> 00:53:28,005
He's good, lucky guy.

839
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,051
Half an inch more, he would
be stabbed in the heart.

840
00:53:32,086 --> 00:53:33,138
What kind of meds is he on?

841
00:53:33,173 --> 00:53:34,190
Just some antibiotics.

842
00:53:36,410 --> 00:53:37,823
- Can I have a word with him?
- Sure.

843
00:53:40,460 --> 00:53:42,260
What happened out there at Kilroy?

844
00:53:44,570 --> 00:53:47,445
I fell.

845
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,285
You fell?

846
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:51,920
You gonna stick with that story?

847
00:53:53,610 --> 00:53:55,760
Like I said, sarge, I fell.

848
00:53:55,795 --> 00:53:56,893
You fell, all right.

849
00:54:01,980 --> 00:54:04,060
As a brother who was down for La Causa,

850
00:54:04,095 --> 00:54:05,982
I never thought I would be a target.

851
00:54:06,017 --> 00:54:08,048
I was quickly back in good graces,

852
00:54:08,083 --> 00:54:10,080
never fully finding out what happened?

853
00:54:10,115 --> 00:54:11,207
That's how it was.

854
00:54:11,242 --> 00:54:12,265
One day you're good.

855
00:54:12,300 --> 00:54:13,725
The next day you get hit.

856
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,074
Prison transfers made it
impossible to get my revenge.

857
00:54:17,109 --> 00:54:19,185
Orale, Kilroy,

858
00:54:19,220 --> 00:54:21,335
see why I want you in my cell?.

859
00:54:21,370 --> 00:54:24,700
I heard you pulled the
shank out of your chest,

860
00:54:24,735 --> 00:54:26,100
and then knocked Sleepy out.

861
00:54:33,079 --> 00:54:35,162
You called the hit Joe?

862
00:54:36,580 --> 00:54:39,793
- Nah, I ain't got no
beef with you carnal.

863
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:44,067
It's personal, between you,
Sleepy and Peanut Butter.

864
00:54:48,794 --> 00:54:50,365
Orale.

865
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,535
Like any generational organization,

866
00:54:52,570 --> 00:54:54,625
there's always conflict
between different ideas

867
00:54:54,660 --> 00:54:58,330
and methods of operation,
creating underlying tension.

868
00:54:58,365 --> 00:55:00,370
The cell arrangement
between me and Joe Morgan

869
00:55:00,405 --> 00:55:02,250
lasted only a couple of weeks.

870
00:55:02,285 --> 00:55:03,405
Long enough to understand

871
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,190
there was a generation gap growing.

872
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:08,793
Big D was an impressive brother.

873
00:55:10,350 --> 00:55:13,223
He was big and strong
and he was a good boxer.

874
00:55:14,090 --> 00:55:16,340
And he was a get down
soldier for the La Causa.

875
00:55:16,375 --> 00:55:18,267
When he discovered Christ,

876
00:55:18,302 --> 00:55:20,125
rather than abandoning us,

877
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,853
he kept writing us, plus
he would come visit.

878
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,360
My dearest carnal,

879
00:55:29,210 --> 00:55:31,593
I hope that you're well and stay strong.

880
00:55:31,628 --> 00:55:33,977
I am writing you this letter to tell you

881
00:55:34,012 --> 00:55:35,615
and the rest of the world,

882
00:55:35,650 --> 00:55:38,375
I am no longer in a place of darkness.

883
00:55:38,410 --> 00:55:42,146
I have given my life to our
Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

884
00:55:42,181 --> 00:55:45,883
- I finally found the
freedom I've been searching for.

885
00:55:47,490 --> 00:55:50,440
I want you to know, whatever we did

886
00:55:50,475 --> 00:55:51,642
or didn't do,

887
00:55:51,677 --> 00:55:52,775
stays with me.

888
00:55:52,810 --> 00:55:56,163
Only Jesus can judge us
and He chooses to forgive.

889
00:56:02,220 --> 00:56:04,670
- I'll be praying
for you to see the light.

890
00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:08,207
Until then, stay safe my brother.

891
00:56:29,637 --> 00:56:31,220
Hello Mr. Roybal.

892
00:56:32,370 --> 00:56:33,373
Full disclosure,

893
00:56:34,290 --> 00:56:37,650
I am a former Bell Gardens police officer.

894
00:56:37,685 --> 00:56:38,600
Police officer?

895
00:56:38,635 --> 00:56:39,795
Yes.

896
00:56:39,830 --> 00:56:42,900
I left the department to
practice law full time.

897
00:56:42,935 --> 00:56:44,900
You need to practice on somebody else.

898
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,733
- This is what I'm gonna
do for you Mr. Roybal.

899
00:56:49,570 --> 00:56:53,555
I'm gonna file a brief
with writs and appeals

900
00:56:53,590 --> 00:56:55,255
and we'll hope for the best, okay?

901
00:57:05,690 --> 00:57:07,867
- With all the hits going
on, lots of stories came out

902
00:57:07,902 --> 00:57:09,920
and some of them became legend.

903
00:57:09,955 --> 00:57:11,095
Little Mo Farrell,

904
00:57:11,130 --> 00:57:13,550
was shanked during an
EME internal cleansing.

905
00:57:13,585 --> 00:57:14,855
Upon taking him to hospital,

906
00:57:14,890 --> 00:57:17,787
he told an A.B. patient,
"if I can't be EME,

907
00:57:17,822 --> 00:57:19,085
"I would rather die. "

908
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,263
And pulled his I.V and
died within a few minutes.

909
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:24,740
All the destruction,

910
00:57:25,870 --> 00:57:26,877
all the hatred,

911
00:57:30,531 --> 00:57:34,448
did anything good come
from 40 years in prison?

912
00:57:37,190 --> 00:57:38,390
Well, maybe one thing.

913
00:57:40,174 --> 00:57:41,007
And what's that?

914
00:57:41,982 --> 00:57:43,925
In late eighties, early nineties,

915
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,820
gangsters were killing
each other by the thousands

916
00:57:45,855 --> 00:57:46,653
every year.

917
00:57:47,541 --> 00:57:50,257
It was a new thing, called
"the drive-by shooting. "

918
00:57:52,780 --> 00:57:54,053
Became very popular.

919
00:57:54,970 --> 00:57:56,065
Hundreds every weekend

920
00:57:56,100 --> 00:57:58,100
throughout the south-west United States.

921
00:57:58,950 --> 00:58:01,733
It was a way of killing,
without any real danger.

922
00:58:08,090 --> 00:58:09,290
So what's this I hear?

923
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,900
He just drove up and blasted the house,

924
00:58:13,935 --> 00:58:16,007
four year old girl was killed,

925
00:58:16,042 --> 00:58:18,045
another one's in the hospital.

926
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,510
Lots of Surenos are getting
killed in drive-by shootings

927
00:58:20,545 --> 00:58:21,360
this last decade.

928
00:58:22,420 --> 00:58:24,685
Foot soldiers just gone.

929
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,420
Back in the days it was different.

930
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,370
We walked up and looked
the enemy in the face

931
00:58:30,405 --> 00:58:31,563
before we hit them.

932
00:58:33,220 --> 00:58:35,570
Those days are gone carnal?

933
00:58:35,605 --> 00:58:36,403
Maybe not?.

934
00:58:37,318 --> 00:58:39,127
We've got some homeboys right now

935
00:58:39,162 --> 00:58:40,902
organizing to stop drive-bys.

936
00:58:40,937 --> 00:58:43,593
Not only was the Mexican
Mafia losing soldiers,

937
00:58:44,700 --> 00:58:47,000
but they felt it was a
less than honorable way

938
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:49,233
to carry out a hit.

939
00:58:51,310 --> 00:58:52,970
Not even to mention the women and children

940
00:58:53,005 --> 00:58:55,286
getting caught in the crossfire.

941
00:58:55,321 --> 00:58:57,202
What happened?

942
00:58:57,237 --> 00:59:00,900
- Our organization felt it
was bad business in every way

943
00:59:00,935 --> 00:59:03,612
for soldiers to be killing each other.

944
00:59:03,647 --> 00:59:05,903
And if they did, before that happened,

945
00:59:05,938 --> 00:59:08,160
they had to get the blessing from the EME.

946
00:59:08,195 --> 00:59:10,010
So how do we hold them accountable?

947
00:59:11,166 --> 00:59:13,793
Remember, the pintas our home.

948
00:59:15,150 --> 00:59:16,365
Streets is our backyard.

949
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,170
Who's leading the charge on the outside?

950
00:59:18,205 --> 00:59:20,002
There's lots of brothers involved

951
00:59:20,037 --> 00:59:21,765
on the business end of the idea.

952
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:26,580
But taking the lead is Peter
Ojeda "Sana" from Orange County

953
00:59:26,615 --> 00:59:28,533
and Chuco Castro from Los Angeles.

954
00:59:29,770 --> 00:59:32,195
It'll benefit us in building the taxes

955
00:59:32,230 --> 00:59:34,620
and making a more formidable structure.

956
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,194
Sounds good, carnal.

957
00:59:37,229 --> 00:59:38,027
Si-mon.

958
00:59:38,890 --> 00:59:39,908
Si?.

959
00:59:39,943 --> 00:59:41,825
Sana from Orange County,

960
00:59:41,860 --> 00:59:43,840
he started meetings with the
neighborhood shot-callers

961
00:59:43,875 --> 00:59:45,710
from West Side La Habra to Capistrano,

962
00:59:45,745 --> 00:59:47,473
at El Salvador Park in Santa Ana.

963
00:59:48,420 --> 00:59:49,345
A couple months later,

964
00:59:49,380 --> 00:59:52,870
Chuco Castro, started the
juntas at Elysian Park,

965
00:59:52,905 --> 00:59:53,933
in Los Angeles.

966
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,373
This is the beginning of
the rules of engagement.

967
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:01,200
Rules for killing?

968
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,140
You know any authorized drive-by?

969
01:00:06,175 --> 01:00:07,490
Shooter gets a green light.

970
01:00:09,830 --> 01:00:14,260
Any gang member who encounters
that vato,has to hit him,

971
01:00:14,295 --> 01:00:16,114
or he gets a green light.

972
01:00:16,149 --> 01:00:17,933
It was simple but effective.

973
01:00:18,860 --> 01:00:21,693
And just like that the drive-by stopped.

974
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:24,055
Now, critics are gonna say

975
01:00:24,090 --> 01:00:26,800
that we wanted a bigger, better
business to collect taxes

976
01:00:26,835 --> 01:00:30,913
but regardless, we saved
tens of thousands of lives.

977
01:00:32,810 --> 01:00:34,863
So I guess we did do something right.

978
01:00:38,993 --> 01:00:40,093
But the devil's a liar.

979
01:00:41,620 --> 01:00:43,913
Proverbs 16, 17, 18, and 19.

980
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,450
Let you know where God's at with that.

981
01:00:52,742 --> 01:00:54,492
You want some coffee?

982
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:59,213
Good news.

983
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,490
The Appeal Court reduced
the murder conviction

984
01:01:02,525 --> 01:01:03,885
to manslaughter.

985
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:08,063
And your attempted murder was dismissed.

986
01:01:09,850 --> 01:01:12,441
It's gonna take a few months to process,

987
01:01:12,476 --> 01:01:15,033
but hey, you're gonna be a free man.

988
01:01:18,803 --> 01:01:19,653
What do you know?

989
01:01:21,633 --> 01:01:23,563
A police officer helping me.

990
01:01:29,820 --> 01:01:30,893
My prized possession.

991
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:34,420
It's the only thing I own.

992
01:01:36,700 --> 01:01:37,550
It's beautiful.

993
01:01:38,695 --> 01:01:39,695
Oh, yeah.

994
01:01:39,730 --> 01:01:42,023
- Everyone in the neighborhood
is jealous, it's funny.

995
01:01:43,410 --> 01:01:44,243
Is that right?

996
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,410
I want you to have it.

997
01:01:57,860 --> 01:01:58,710
You're serious?

998
01:02:00,410 --> 01:02:03,173
It's yours.

999
01:02:08,830 --> 01:02:09,783
Start it up.

1000
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:16,586
You're serious?

1001
01:02:16,621 --> 01:02:18,430
- I'm seriously
gonna take it back

1002
01:02:18,465 --> 01:02:20,304
if you don't start it up.

1003
01:02:38,907 --> 01:02:42,074
Eso!

1004
01:02:45,550 --> 01:02:47,116
Come on in.

1005
01:02:47,151 --> 01:02:49,287
You wanna take me for a ride?

1006
01:02:49,322 --> 01:02:51,423
Let's do it.

1007
01:02:52,327 --> 01:02:53,913
You're gonna chauffeur me around?

1008
01:03:07,540 --> 01:03:10,413
Kilroy, you got 10 minutes.

1009
01:03:14,967 --> 01:03:15,800
Hey,

1010
01:03:19,580 --> 01:03:20,730
my appeal came through.

1011
01:03:23,276 --> 01:03:24,109
I'm going home.

1012
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,790
- I spent all this time
moving up the ranks

1013
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:34,400
and now you're leaving me?

1014
01:03:39,011 --> 01:03:43,011
- A lot of heads to
role, scores to settle.

1015
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:45,393
You hold it down here.

1016
01:03:47,845 --> 01:03:50,543
It's funny.

1017
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,483
How I always wanted to be like you.

1018
01:03:56,237 --> 01:03:58,057
And now I guess I am.

1019
01:04:04,860 --> 01:04:07,059
You take care of yourself, David.

1020
01:04:36,764 --> 01:04:38,991
Take care of yourself.

1021
01:04:50,607 --> 01:04:54,280
When I beat the case
and you was in my cell,

1022
01:04:54,315 --> 01:04:57,057
that was the time to beg for forgiveness

1023
01:05:00,650 --> 01:05:01,900
and tell you I was sorry,

1024
01:05:04,010 --> 01:05:06,183
for not being the father
I should have been.

1025
01:05:11,231 --> 01:05:13,981
But I turned into EME business.

1026
01:05:18,420 --> 01:05:19,460
This was our life.

1027
01:05:26,793 --> 01:05:29,523
I should have told you
how much I loved you.

1028
01:05:34,150 --> 01:05:38,285
I mean,

1029
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:39,233
everything went so left.

1030
01:05:43,514 --> 01:05:45,764
I always thought about you.

1031
01:05:49,974 --> 01:05:51,807
But this was our life.

1032
01:06:00,730 --> 01:06:01,695
Orale carnales,

1033
01:06:01,730 --> 01:06:05,728
what to do with the brothers
who found God on the outside?

1034
01:06:05,763 --> 01:06:09,727
- Well, every carnal is free
to do what he thinks is right.

1035
01:06:12,758 --> 01:06:14,008
La EME, has a death oath,

1036
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,482
there no longer part of it.

1037
01:06:17,517 --> 01:06:19,483
So if you decide to take them out,

1038
01:06:21,500 --> 01:06:23,083
we don't have a problem with it.

1039
01:06:25,224 --> 01:06:28,460
But let's not forget, these
vatos never debriefed,

1040
01:06:30,332 --> 01:06:31,232
they're not ratas.

1041
01:06:33,461 --> 01:06:37,130
They all put in work to help
make La EME, what it is today.

1042
01:06:37,165 --> 01:06:38,840
So they get a free pass?

1043
01:06:38,875 --> 01:06:39,740
I'm just saying.

1044
01:06:41,230 --> 01:06:44,190
I mean, these were some crazy
vatos that made us prowd

1045
01:06:44,225 --> 01:06:45,143
back in the day.

1046
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:48,853
So my advice is this.

1047
01:06:50,217 --> 01:06:51,873
As long as they stay in real,

1048
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,363
they don't cooperate with law enforcement.

1049
01:06:57,770 --> 01:06:58,603
Leave it alone.

1050
01:07:00,260 --> 01:07:02,343
We have more important things to do.

1051
01:07:02,378 --> 01:07:04,333
Orale, I'll pass it on.

1052
01:07:06,128 --> 01:07:07,520
There was a few of us EME members

1053
01:07:07,555 --> 01:07:08,913
who became Christians.

1054
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,366
And I'm proud to say we never debriefed,

1055
01:07:13,401 --> 01:07:16,213
meaning, we can never be called rats.

1056
01:07:20,550 --> 01:07:23,090
I don't think I ever told
you how I became a Christian.

1057
01:07:23,125 --> 01:07:24,845
I was using dope again,

1058
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,603
no surprise for a lifelong addict.

1059
01:07:27,467 --> 01:07:28,265
I wasn't paying rent

1060
01:07:28,300 --> 01:07:30,205
and I heard a car drive up.

1061
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,113
Knowing they were collecting rent,

1062
01:07:32,148 --> 01:07:33,987
I was ready to break and run or hide.

1063
01:07:34,022 --> 01:07:35,305
And then I thought,

1064
01:07:35,340 --> 01:07:37,470
I never ran from anything in my life.

1065
01:07:37,505 --> 01:07:39,600
Why am I gonna run from an old lady?

1066
01:07:41,060 --> 01:07:42,990
I saw my wife's aunt jump out of the car

1067
01:07:43,025 --> 01:07:43,985
and shuffle up to me.

1068
01:07:44,020 --> 01:07:46,095
She was lit up like a Christmas tree.

1069
01:07:46,130 --> 01:07:48,040
At that point, I was
thinking about hustling her

1070
01:07:48,075 --> 01:07:49,375
for some kind of drugs.

1071
01:07:49,410 --> 01:07:51,686
She had to be on some kind of medication.

1072
01:07:51,721 --> 01:07:53,963
Instead what she did changed my life.

1073
01:07:54,810 --> 01:07:57,420
She asked if I would like to
accept the Lord Jesus Christ,

1074
01:07:57,455 --> 01:07:59,115
as my personal savior.

1075
01:07:59,150 --> 01:08:01,360
And I said, "I'm not ready. "

1076
01:08:01,395 --> 01:08:03,535
Then I heard a little voice,

1077
01:08:03,570 --> 01:08:05,695
you've been saying that for 40 years,

1078
01:08:05,730 --> 01:08:08,280
another 40 years and you'll
be a hundred years old.

1079
01:08:14,020 --> 01:08:17,683
Jesus, I give you my life.

1080
01:08:22,900 --> 01:08:25,245
Jesus, I give you my life.

1081
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,193
I ask you to come into my heart.

1082
01:08:31,380 --> 01:08:33,093
I ask you to come into my heart.

1083
01:08:35,620 --> 01:08:38,357
- I believe that You
died on the cross for me,

1084
01:08:38,392 --> 01:08:39,403
for my sins.

1085
01:08:40,370 --> 01:08:43,200
- I believe that You
died on the cross for me,

1086
01:08:43,235 --> 01:08:44,050
for my sins.

1087
01:08:45,613 --> 01:08:48,466
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit.

1088
01:08:48,501 --> 01:08:52,410
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit.

1089
01:08:52,445 --> 01:08:56,320
I ask You to cut the burdens

1090
01:08:57,530 --> 01:08:58,743
and take the wheel.

1091
01:09:01,030 --> 01:09:02,670
I ask You to cut the burdens

1092
01:09:02,705 --> 01:09:04,013
and take the wheel.

1093
01:09:05,437 --> 01:09:07,736
In Jesus Name.

1094
01:09:07,771 --> 01:09:10,035
In Jesus Name.

1095
01:09:10,070 --> 01:09:11,177
Amen.

1096
01:09:11,212 --> 01:09:12,285
Amen.

1097
01:09:13,910 --> 01:09:16,720
I was still thinking about
getting the drugs she was on.

1098
01:09:16,755 --> 01:09:19,402
Only I didn't know she wasn't high.

1099
01:09:19,437 --> 01:09:22,063
She had an overdose of the Holy Ghost.

1100
01:09:22,098 --> 01:09:24,690
We spoke the sinner's prayer together,

1101
01:09:24,725 --> 01:09:26,694
but I told her it didn't take.

1102
01:09:26,729 --> 01:09:28,629
She said, what do you mean?

1103
01:09:28,664 --> 01:09:30,725
I said, when people accept Jesus,

1104
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,540
they shout and jump for
joy and sing Hallelujah,

1105
01:09:34,575 --> 01:09:35,913
I don't feel anything.

1106
01:10:01,785 --> 01:10:03,142
I took a step forward,

1107
01:10:03,177 --> 01:10:04,558
something was wrong.

1108
01:10:04,593 --> 01:10:05,905
I took another step.

1109
01:10:05,940 --> 01:10:07,640
It felt like I was walking on air.

1110
01:10:08,780 --> 01:10:11,130
I've been serving the
Lord ever since that day.

1111
01:10:12,340 --> 01:10:14,450
The Lord has never left my side,

1112
01:10:14,485 --> 01:10:16,175
through joy and sorrow.

1113
01:10:16,210 --> 01:10:19,750
I was in a big rig crash
that nearly ended my life.

1114
01:10:19,785 --> 01:10:22,112
I lost my son to the
system for many years.

1115
01:10:22,147 --> 01:10:24,440
When he was finally released from prison,

1116
01:10:24,475 --> 01:10:26,789
he came to know God's love.

1117
01:10:26,824 --> 01:10:29,120
I had become distant
from my other children.

1118
01:10:29,155 --> 01:10:31,223
God's grace gave me another chance.

1119
01:10:32,070 --> 01:10:34,360
God led me to start an
outreach ministry called,

1120
01:10:34,395 --> 01:10:36,135
Homiez 4 Christ.

1121
01:10:36,170 --> 01:10:37,805
I spend the time I have left,

1122
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,730
preaching about God's grace
to gangsters and the homeless.

1123
01:10:41,765 --> 01:10:44,910
I even preach to African
villages and prisons.

1124
01:10:44,945 --> 01:10:45,993
If he changed me,

1125
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:48,180
he can change anybody.

1126
01:10:50,201 --> 01:10:53,241
I would visit the prisons
where I once was an inmate,

1127
01:10:53,276 --> 01:10:54,441
and I shared the gospel.

1128
01:10:55,440 --> 01:10:56,731
And I was between two gates

1129
01:10:56,766 --> 01:10:59,572
when the spotlight momentary blinded me.

1130
01:10:59,607 --> 01:11:03,236
It was the prison warden who
despised me, many years ago.

1131
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:07,473
Kilroy.

1132
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:10,993
Whose there?

1133
01:11:12,030 --> 01:11:13,130
It's warden Johnson.

1134
01:11:14,570 --> 01:11:15,503
You remember me?

1135
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,217
You know, there's something
I've been wanting to ask you.

1136
01:11:23,260 --> 01:11:25,810
I wanna know why you put
the green light out on me?

1137
01:11:29,690 --> 01:11:32,455
Warden Johnson, I don't remember that.

1138
01:11:32,490 --> 01:11:36,073
- Now we intercepted the
kite out of Pelican Bay.

1139
01:11:37,610 --> 01:11:39,505
It says you co-signed the hit.

1140
01:11:39,540 --> 01:11:42,063
I had to relocate my whole
family because of this.

1141
01:11:45,818 --> 01:11:46,918
I don't remember that.

1142
01:11:48,699 --> 01:11:50,713
I got an accident and lost my memory.

1143
01:11:52,570 --> 01:11:54,410
But I've come a long way,

1144
01:11:54,445 --> 01:11:55,750
I'm a Christian now.

1145
01:11:55,785 --> 01:11:56,908
Now, now.

1146
01:11:56,943 --> 01:11:59,395
I know you're a changed man,

1147
01:11:59,430 --> 01:12:02,980
and that's the only reason why
I let you back in my prison.

1148
01:12:03,015 --> 01:12:04,987
You a Christian?

1149
01:12:05,022 --> 01:12:06,767
Am I a Christian?

1150
01:12:06,802 --> 01:12:08,513
No, I'm a Catholic.

1151
01:12:11,330 --> 01:12:13,780
- Do you have a personal
relationship with Jesus?

1152
01:12:19,860 --> 01:12:21,605
The Bible says in Romans,

1153
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,275
that, "If you confess with your mouth,

1154
01:12:24,310 --> 01:12:26,910
the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart

1155
01:12:28,070 --> 01:12:29,770
that God raised Him from the dead.

1156
01:12:30,980 --> 01:12:32,163
You will be saved.

1157
01:12:34,610 --> 01:12:36,943
Do you believe in your
heart through faith,

1158
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:42,283
that Jesus is God, died
on the cross for our sins,

1159
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:44,503
raised on the third day?

1160
01:12:46,130 --> 01:12:48,230
He filled your heart with the Holy Spirit?

1161
01:12:51,182 --> 01:12:54,820
- You know, I've thought about
this conversation, a lot.

1162
01:12:54,855 --> 01:12:56,743
And how it'd go between you and I.

1163
01:12:57,817 --> 01:12:59,243
And not in a million years

1164
01:12:59,278 --> 01:13:01,943
did I think it would go in this direction.

1165
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:05,600
But to answer your question,

1166
01:13:07,310 --> 01:13:08,143
yes, I do.

1167
01:13:11,618 --> 01:13:12,918
Then you're a Christian.

1168
01:13:15,790 --> 01:13:17,557
Warden Johnson, can I pray for you?

1169
01:13:20,010 --> 01:13:21,670
Yes, you can.

1170
01:13:21,705 --> 01:13:22,503
Amen.

1171
01:13:24,250 --> 01:13:26,143
Father God, thank you for today.

1172
01:13:26,178 --> 01:13:28,192
Thank you for blessing
me Father with strength,

1173
01:13:28,227 --> 01:13:32,143
and thank you for bringing
another true soldier home Father.

1174
01:13:33,830 --> 01:13:36,780
I pray for warden Johnson
for any wrongdoings

1175
01:13:36,815 --> 01:13:38,410
I might've caused, Father.

1176
01:13:39,290 --> 01:13:42,359
Thank you, Father for
letting us be here today.

1177
01:13:42,394 --> 01:13:44,363
In Jesus Name, Amen.

1178
01:13:48,252 --> 01:13:49,335
Amen.

1179
01:13:49,370 --> 01:13:50,705
Thank you.

1180
01:13:50,740 --> 01:13:52,061
Under a prison spotlight,

1181
01:13:52,096 --> 01:13:53,383
I prayed for the warden.

1182
01:13:55,150 --> 01:13:57,818
The Lord does indeed
work in mysterious ways.

1183
01:14:15,110 --> 01:14:17,295
I went to a seminar.

1184
01:14:17,330 --> 01:14:20,263
They wanted to know how I changed my life.

1185
01:14:21,670 --> 01:14:23,943
Because there was there
was counselors there,

1186
01:14:23,978 --> 01:14:26,173
there was psychiatrists there.

1187
01:14:27,670 --> 01:14:32,003
With all those titles, PhD, BA,

1188
01:14:33,110 --> 01:14:34,075
and there were all there.

1189
01:14:34,110 --> 01:14:37,070
And they wanted to know
how I changed my life.

1190
01:14:37,105 --> 01:14:38,683
And I just told them the truth.

1191
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,362
And I gave them a short testimony

1192
01:14:41,397 --> 01:14:43,867
of what the Lord had done in my life.

1193
01:14:43,902 --> 01:14:46,616
I said, I accepted Him in my life.

1194
01:14:46,651 --> 01:14:49,330
And I told them, I also had a B.A.

1195
01:14:49,365 --> 01:14:50,630
They said, "How could you?

1196
01:14:51,617 --> 01:14:54,930
"You said you only went
to the eighth grade. "

1197
01:14:54,965 --> 01:14:57,213
And I told them, I'm born again Christian.

1198
01:14:58,109 --> 01:14:59,393
And I had a PhD.

1199
01:15:00,690 --> 01:15:01,835
They couldn't figure it out.

1200
01:15:01,870 --> 01:15:04,020
And I told them, "I'm
praying heaven down. "
