00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,840
I remember this raid.
5
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:34,440
From the very beginning we believed
6
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,360
that Mayo was kind of
Patriarch of Sinaloa.
7
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,720
And his arrest would be good luck for us.
8
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,120
They were delayed.
9
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,720
I always get nervous because of this:
suddenly something happened.
10
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,000
The moment of the raid itself is amazing.
Everyone is waiting for him.
11
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,760
Many days pass by observation
and information collection.

HOUSE OF ISMAEL SAMBADA GARCIA
13
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000
We hoped that even if
we won't catch him himself,
14
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,680
then we'll arrest him
who will lead us to him.
15
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,680
It didn't work out.
16
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,760
There was a “leak” somewhere.
17
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Forward. Go upstairs.
18
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,280
Therefore Ismael Zambada
is still alive and at large.
19
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,480
He was never arrested.
20
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,760
Never.

00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,000
ISMAEL "EL MAYO" SAMBADA
22
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,840
By and large
he has been on the run for over 20 years.
23
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,040
"El Mayo" Zambada -
head of drug trafficking in Mexico.
24
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,280
It's more poisonous than a snake.
25
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,960
Mayo Sambada controls
drug cartel "Sinaloa".
26
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,960
His drug cartel is considered
27
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,920
main supplier of heroin, cocaine
and marijuana
28
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,840
in the USA.
29
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,080
Mayo doesn't want to be considered...
30
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:55,280
...a weak boss.

After 40 years of involvement in the drug trade

00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,160
the mysterious Ismael Zambada Garcia,
"El Mayo"

was never caught.

Ismael Zambada,
for which the US is offering
38
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,640
five million dollar reward.
39
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,120
USA
40
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,000
For the first time in history
opioids have killed more Americans
41
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,560
than a firearm.
42
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,680
The opioid epidemic is the deadliest
overdose crisis in US history
43
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,560
They are easy to buy and easy to transport.
44
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,440
This is a very terrible epidemic.
45
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,800
The drug is required
the minimum dose...
46
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,800
...to kill you.
47
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,720
If you make one mistake, you're done.
48
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,760
My name is David Lorino.
49
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,360
I was an agent
leading a group of investigators,
50
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,000
working on the case.
51
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,240
EARLY 2000S
52
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,680
CHICAGO
53
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,880
The investigation began with
54
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,240
what do we think
lower levels of the drug business
55
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,440
on the West Side of Chicago.
56
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,160
We bought small doses of heroin
57
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,000
in Chicago with a bandit on the corner.
58
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,000
They started tapping his phone.
59
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,960
This led us to another bandit.
60
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,040
We've advanced once again
along the food chain. And now we are...
61
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,560
SINALOA CARTEL
LEADERS
62
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,440
...they found cartel members.
63
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,240
The crap we buy
at the guys on the corner,
64
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,200
comes from Chapo and Mayo.
65
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,160
Now we have
real goals.
66
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800
An agent's true dream is
67
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,240
start buying small doses on the corner,
68
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,120
and eventually reach a member of a drug cartel.
It doesn't happen that way.
69
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,880
With an opponent like Mayo Sambada,
we haven't encountered.
70
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,960
At an early age he realized
that there is no need to attract attention.
71
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,520
This says something important about Mayo.
72
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920
He's something of a business visionary.
73
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,800
And he is very developed
strategic thinking.
74
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,280
My name is Jack Riley.
75
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,800
Previously served in the DEA.
76
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,480
And took part in the hunt
on El Chapo and Mayo.

JACK RILEY
FORMER DEA SPECIAL AGENT
78
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,480
All agencies are involved.
79
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Police, FBI, DEA, ATO -
There was even a Secret Service.
80
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,840
The sole purpose of the strike group
81
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,960
there was the Sinaloa cartel and its tentacles
among Chicago street gangs.

ISMAEL SAMBADA GARCIA
83
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,360
REWARD
84
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,360
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
85
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Would like to talk by phone:
86
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,640
talk about price reductions,
about the purchase of goods,
87
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,840
to make sure that the nonsense came from him.
88
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,720
But at that time we didn't have
89
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,760
opportunity to arrange a call with Mayo.
90
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,600
There is nothing on Mayo Sambadu.
91
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,080
There are no records of conversations about him.
92
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,680
My name is Jesus Esquivel.
93
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,760
I am a journalist and for several years
I conduct investigations into drug trafficking.
94
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Mayo knows that if you communicate often
по телефону,
95
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,280
then this could destroy him.
96
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,800
At meetings with the highest
cartel leadership...
97
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,360
What did Mayo say?
98
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,600
Nothing.
99
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,600
When he wanted to give an order,
100
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,320
he called a man, went out into the street
and gave the order.
101
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,000
Smart. Apparently, he knew that the DEA
or the Mexican government -
102
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,280
or even the people working with him -
recorded the conversation.
103
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,200
When the Sinaloa cartel
was at its very peak,
104
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
intermediary -
those who make deals...
105
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,800
...was Chapo. He's a nice guy.
106
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,440
My friend!
107
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,960
What's new? How are you?
108
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Great. Nice to hear from you.
How are your brothers?
109
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,600
Listen, in this matter
there was a whole mountain of evidence against Chapo.
110
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,480
If this phone...
111
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,920
...will fall into the hands of the government,
our security will be at risk.
112
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,680
Our calls with Chapo
were organized through an intermediary.
113
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,000
How much did they give you?
114
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,600
They gave 20 kilos.
115
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,640
Okay, then I'll take the money tomorrow.
Good?
116
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,960
Yes.
117
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,680
These records are just a getaway for him.
118
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,360
On the tapes he talked about the cost,
price, quantity of goods
119
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,680
during a heroin deal.
120
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,520
Whatever he did —
the film is not going anywhere.
121
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,200
This clearly demonstrates
122
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,720
How influential is Mayo Sambada?
compared to El Chapo.
123
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,200
WILLIAM PURPLE
LAWYER EL CHAPO
124
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Mayo must be
extremely smart person.
125
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,840
He is now about 71-72 years old,
and I ask you not to forget,
126
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,680
that he got into the drug business
in the early 80s.
127
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,840
It will be more difficult than with Chapo.
128
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,520
He is well acquainted with his surroundings
situation and does not leave there.
129
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,080
So we must continue the hunt.
130
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:04,880
That's the only way.
131
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,600
NORTH AMERICA

STATE OF SINALOA
CITY OF CULACAN
134
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,880
Mayo was a shepherd from La Sierra.
135
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,720
The way he speaks, the way he walks.
136
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,080
The most luxurious car
137
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,760
which Mayo drove,
there was a Ford truck.
138
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:01,440
In La Sierra he doesn't have to drive.
a luxurious Lamborghini or Ferrari.
139
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,960
He started working
140
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,240
as pistolero, sicario —
killer.
141
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Mayo is very well known for
that when he is angry,
142
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,440
then you better hide
wherever you can.
143
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,960
Everyone asks me: “Are you afraid?”
144
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,920
If they want you dead
then you will die.
145
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,320
Especially if you
Mexican journalist.
146
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,640
From this truck I shoot at everyone.
147
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,680
Always in the head. No mistakes.
148
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,640
My name is Eladio.
149
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,680
I am Eagle One. I follow all orders.
150
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,720
I'm glad to be part of the Sinaloa cartel.
151
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,600
Mayo surrounded himself...
152
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:43,600
...personal small army,
so to speak.
153
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:46,520
With levels.
154
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:51,440
Several levels
to get to the top.
155
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,680
That's why he delegates
so much power to their sicarios.
156
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,800
Who's your boss?
157
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,800
El Señor Grande, our host,
gave us instructions
158
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,880
about how to take care of yourself.
159
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,080
We must not tell anyone his name.
160
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,280
There are many protocols
and we must abide by them.
161
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440
They named El Mayo "El Señor".
162
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,720
You can't say his name.
163
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,880
Dangerous. This is obvious.
164
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,040
This is serious evidence.
165
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,280
A red Toyota is driving.
166
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,720
A warning system needs to be installed.
167
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,480
We have 150-160 members.
168
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,600
Some of us check cars...
169
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,480
...and report their route.
170
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,000
We have people at the entrance.
171
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,240
The rest are standing halfway.
Some of the guys are on the hill.
172
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,720
We also have people at the airport:
173
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,760
check logbooks, schedules,
departures.
174
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,880
We take information from everywhere.
175
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,520
That's how it should be
otherwise we may have surprises.
176
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,320
Don't like surprises?
177
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,600
No, it's too much responsibility.
178
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,400
Looks bad
when they scold the boss.
179
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,960
Why does El Mayo always manage to escape?
180
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,120
He is at peace with the local people.
181
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,040
This is the key thing.
182
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,240
When you ask the locals,
are they happy...
183
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,520
The economy is booming
drug dealers make a lot of money.
184
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,720
Everyone is doing well.
185
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,520
This car leaves tomorrow morning.
186
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,800
He goes straight to the border.
187
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,240
And the car will return full of money.
188
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,640
Follow the money.
189
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,040
Robin Hood Theory: Mayo is a hero.
190
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,280
He builds football fields
and other infrastructure, churches.
191
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,960
This is also inherent in his
security plan and business plan.
192
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:46,560
Because it makes the locals...
193
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,280
...report everything they see.
194
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,520
It's hard for any agency
195
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,360
pursue so successful
representative
196
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,920
world of organized crime.
197
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,880
We needed to focus
on the people around him.
198
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,840
Since our goal is Mayo,
199
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,280
then we catch his entourage too,
200
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,640
because they are less careful
when using phones.
201
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,800
This way we can find out
about the Mayo way of life.
202
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,880
MEXICO CITY
203
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,840
OCTOBER 20, 2008
204
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,440
My name is
Victor Gerardo Garay Cadena.
205
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,360
I headed the wrestling department
with drugs in the Federal Police.
206
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,640
VICTOR GERARDO GARAY CADENA
207
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:35,200
In July 2008
208
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,040
A representative contacted me
American agency,
209
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:40,880
to provide information
210
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,680
about a man named Rey Sambada
211
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,480
and about a house in the Linda Vista area.
212
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,760
Ray Sambada,
brother of Ismael Zambada Garcia,
213
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,400
controlled the transportation of drugs
at the Mexico City airport.
214
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,440
I received information
and he asked for help.
215
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,920
“Of course, I’ll check,” I said.
216
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,680
The place was under surveillance.
217
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,320
We were sure
that something is happening in the house.
218
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,760
October twentieth, 2008...
219
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,040
...a raid took place.
220
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,640
There was a massive shootout.
221
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,880
He tried to escape.
222
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:50,600
But we surrounded the house.
223
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,000
In despair, Reynaldo Zambada
224
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,480
called the head of the analytics department
drug department.
225
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,160
He told Ray Sambada:
226
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,680
“Hey boss, how can I help you?
227
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:15,240
Don't worry. I'll come to the rescue."
228
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,320
As the shootout approaches
229
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,200
"El Rey" Zambada called him again
and said:
230
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,800
“Damn it, what’s going on?
Why aren't you here?
231
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,960
He replied: “Señor, I’m almost here.
Don't worry".
232
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,840
We learned that the head
police investigation department
233
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,160
worked for the Sambad brothers.
234
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,240
Caught "El Rey" Zambada.
235
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,720
He was the main drug supplier
in the Mayo cartel.
236
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Sambadu was very well defended.
237
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Today we know why.
There were policemen around him.
238
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,120
He paid them. As the saying goes:
money talks everything.
239
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Dealers pay more than the government.
240
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,200
And they carry out their orders.
241
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,480
They are called “boss”, “chief”, “senor”.
242
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,120
At all stages of my career...
in some regions where I have been,
243
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,080
I noticed that half the officers
was connected with them.
244
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,320
This is part of their terror strategy.
245
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,520
First, we will try to convince you
work for us.
246
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,000
If it doesn't work, or you have doubts,
247
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,880
we'll try to bribe you.
248
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,400
If you are important to our activities,
249
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,520
then we can pay
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
250
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,880
However, if you refuse,
251
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,680
we will put a bullet in your forehead.
252
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,800
FIVE MONTHS LATER
253
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:03,760
MAYO AND CHAPO START SECRET NEGOTIATIONS
WITH THE US GOVERNMENT.
254
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,400
They tried to make a deal with the DEA.
255
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,680
Can you believe it?
The drug lords were trying to make a deal.
256
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,920
This is true.
257
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,640
Mayo Zambada sent to Mexico City
his son to negotiate with the DEA.
258
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,840
"EL VICENTILLO"
VICENTE ZAMBADA, SON OF EL MAYO
259
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,040
In fact, Vicente worked for Mayo
logistics.
260
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080
Mayo was preparing it for himself as a replacement.
261
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,240
He would become the main one.
262
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,520
If something happened to Mayo,
263
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,160
Vicente would take his place.
264
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,800
The meeting took place at the Sheraton Hotel
in Mexico City.
265
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,960
A few meters from the US Embassy.
266
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,720
There were three DEA agents...
267
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,080
...Loya Castro, Vicentillo's lawyer...
268
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,080
...and Vicentillo himself.
269
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,320
What to do when a criminal
wants to contact the DEA?
270
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,160
We need to find out if it's worth it.
271
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,600
And they must understand:
272
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,240
If you want to tell something, say everything.
273
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,360
If we catch you in a lie,
the deal will not take place.
274
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,200
They make a deal.
275
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,680
They will give the DEA information
276
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,240
about the location of enemies
the Sinaloa drug cartel.
277
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,640
Talk to the US government
and give out information about your enemies.
278
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,240
And don’t touch them yourself.
279
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,880
And continue to run the business.
280
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,600
It was almost like that
but this was not some kind of conspiracy.
281
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,440
If one villain wants to turn in another...
282
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,040
This is what whistleblowers always do.
283
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Information from one villain
will help get someone else out of business.
284
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,720
Is this bad?
285
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,320
They talked for a couple of hours.
286
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,320
They left the room.
287
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:16,240
In a few hours, Mexican
the military arrested El Vicentillo.
288
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,960
This raises the obvious question
289
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,240
and the obvious situation:
290
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,280
who informed the Mexican military
information,
291
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:42,120
that the son of "El Mayo" Zambada
located in Mexico City?
292
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,120
There's a dirty deal
but we don't know its details.
293
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,680
The Minister of Defense reported to me,
that the 18th...
294
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,760
...the military took him into custody
Vicente Zambado Niebla,
295
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,640
aka "El Vicentillo"
296
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,520
son of Ismael Zambada Garcia,
aka "El Mayo" Zambada.
297
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,320
He was arrested and extradited back
in the USA.
298
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,400
CHICAGO
299
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,840
Upon arrival, I met Vicente.
300
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,720
I think the arrest shocked him.
301
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,840
We transported him in a van
302
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,760
with a state police escort.
303
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,160
Direct from the airport
304
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,120
to the federal prison in Chicago.
305
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,200
I remember he was in a tracksuit.
306
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,720
Reached out his hand to say hello
but I had no intention of pressing it.
307
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,360
First I wanted to ask:
“Where is your father?
308
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,800
His phone number? What is he driving?
Who's next to him? And leave immediately.
309
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,240
I told him:
“Think about your situation.
310
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,800
You can't get out of here."
311
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,480
The conditions in which Vicente was kept
two years...
312
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,600
...were literally draconian.
313
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Complete isolation.
314
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,080
No connection, not even with my wife.
315
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,840
He was going a little... crazy.
316
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,960
He said: “I felt so bad...
317
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,720
I started to lose my mind in that cell."
318
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,200
And he gave up.
319
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,760
He was ready.
Now Vicente was ready to cooperate.
320
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,560
We told him: "You have to tell
us about his father and his activities.
321
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,800
It's your only option
to ever see something
322
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,600
except for a prison cell."
323
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,400
I understand his dilemma.
324
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,480
For many of these guys
325
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,400
close relatives
are of great importance.
326
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,000
Native blood.
He was in a very difficult situation.
327
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,560
Finally we tried to get around
this barrier
328
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,360
using, so to speak, intermediaries.
329
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,600
We managed to organize
phone call
330
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,400
between him and his father.
331
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,760
Through several lawyers
We got Mayo's phone number.
332
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,920
Finally, Mayo calls in the middle of the night.
333
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,520
Around midnight, DEA agents
334
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,480
they opened his cell
and released "El Vicentillo".
335
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,400
They gave him a phone number.
336
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:00,680
Who was on the line?
337
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,920
Mayo Sambada.
338
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,640
He needed the call
only to explain himself to his father.
339
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,680
"I don't want to say anything
340
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,560
but this is my only chance."
341
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,280
Mayo told him:
342
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,760
“Do what you have to do, son.
343
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,440
To help yourself and your family."
344
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,200
Important day.
345
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,920
It led to hundreds of arrests.
346
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,320
Honestly, he showed us
how they work.
347
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,200
They forced him to betray Chapo.
348
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,320
That's why he called.
349
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,720
"Dad, I have no other choice."
350
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,520
Either we... or him.
351
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,000
EL CHAPO
352
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,120
You will sacrifice your son
for your friend?
353
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:41,640
No.
354
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,080
He's finished.
355
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:51,920
Especially considering the attention
international media, governments.
356
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,520
To be in the drug business
you must be quiet.
357
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,800
Towards the end, Chapo got a little stupid.
358
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,080
I started going where I shouldn't.
359
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,320
He began to engage in public affairs.
360
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,480
I know this thanks to Vicente:
Mayo was very upset...
361
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,080
...what he does
because I was afraid
362
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,440
what Chapo will bring to the organization
too much attention from the authorities.
363
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,360
Chapo has become an international problem.
364
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,400
Because his name was known
all over the world.
365
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,720
He was too confident
in your own safety.
366
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,760
Such a person does not listen to anyone.
367
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,040
He was noticed there
where they shouldn't have noticed.
368
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,200
That's why he's in prison now.
369
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,680

There are two here.
372
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:36,600
He gets off the plane.
373
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,000
And cries.
374
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,360
I paused this shot.
and took a framed photo.
375
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,360
Have you met Chapo?
376
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:46,520
No.
377
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,760
And good. He would have fallen on the spot.
378
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,280
I would have knocked him out right there.
379
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,480
Drug dealer Joaquin "El Chapo"
Guzman was sentenced
380
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,120
to life imprisonment.
381
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,680
El Chapo received a life sentence.
382
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,880
El Chapo Guzman sentenced
to life imprisonment.
383
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,520
Breaking news.
384
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,400
In Chicago, Vicente Zambada Niebla,
"El Vicentillo"
385
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,480
sentenced to 15 years in prison
imprisonment and 5 years of probation...
386
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:35,920
AFTER LEAVING VICENTE'S PRISON
WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM.
387
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,720
His victim was a prison sentence...
388
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,400
...at 14-15 years old?
389
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,320
And then: “Mi hijo,you will be free.”
390
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,160
And will fall into the custody of the US government.
391
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:56,720
How ironic.
392
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,000
His father is a major drug dealer.
in the history of Mexico.
393
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,000
And his eldest son is under protection
US government.
394
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:15,760
What about “El Mayo”?
395
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,280
Once "El Chapo" is caught, is it over?
396
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,000
Will Sinaloa disappear?
397
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,440
No.
398
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,880
A very cruel day in Culiacan,
capital of the state of Sinaloa.

OCTOBER 17, 2019

Mexican Army
and the National Guard...
401
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,400
...studied the tip...
402
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,200
...about the hiding of Ovidio Guzman Lopez,

00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,960
one of Chapo's sons.
404
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,280
And they found him.
405
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,160
Come out, Ovidio!
406
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,520
Calm down.
407
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,800
- Are there any weapons?
- Not anymore.
408
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,640
Let Chapo be stuck in prison forever,
409
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,160
his sons are under protection
410
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:34,080
his compadre
Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia.
411
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,120
Federal authorities found one
or two sons of Joaquin Chapo Guzman.
412
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,040
This caused a furious reaction
the Sinaloa drug cartel.
413
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,640
Sicarios, pistolerosor murderers
414
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,920
started to intimidate...
415
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,120
...residents of Culiacan.
416
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,880

418
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,800
What do you say, boss?
419
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,600
What did El Señor tell you?
420
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,520
Saying "El Señor"
421
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,320
he is talking about Mayo Sambad.
422
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,280
Nothing happens in Sinaloa
without orders
423
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,160
or permission
Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
424
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,000
He was in charge. He gave orders.
425
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:06,400
Forward! Ours was captured
another commandant said to act.
426
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,080
We kidnap families
and until he is released,
427
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,160
we won't let them go.
428
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:32,880
Calm down, brother. Cool down, it's okay.
We are negotiating.
429
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,880
MILITARY AND CARTEL FIGHTERS
WE HAD A MEETING.
430
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:58,240
AT THE END OF THE MEETING
THEY SHAKED EACH OTHER'S HANDS.
431
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,680
The Mexican government was scared.
432
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:18,360
Then they gave the order
release Chapo's son.
433
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,640
With these actions, the Sinaloa cartel...
434
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,120
...received a message:
“You are untouchable.
435
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,640
You are the masters of this state. This is your home."
436
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,400
No, arresting the criminal is not worth it...

MOUNTAINS SINALOA, MEXICO

00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,960
We arrived here at 2 am.
441
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,840
Later we started to notice the smell,
442
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,240
coming from peculiar laboratories.
443
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,760
They produced almost a ton a day.
444
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:46,880
Methamphetamine.
445
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,920
Arrest of Mayo Sambada -
priority task?
446
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,520
Our priority is
guarantee the safety of people.
447
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,440
His arrest is not a priority for us.
448
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,720
Is his arrest our priority?
449
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,640
No, it's not a priority.
450
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,440
We're done with the operations strategy,
aimed...
451
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,960
...to arrest drug lords.

JANUARY 30, 2019
453
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,400
We spent a lot of time on this.
454
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:30,760
It didn't work.
455
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:32,880
There is no war.
456
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:36,880
I officially declare: the war is over.
457
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,880
We want peace.
458
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:42,360
And the world will end.
459
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:57,200
Cause he wants peace
with drug dealers,
460
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,120
insecurity in Mexico.
461
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,560
We Mexicans are used to...
462
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,160
...to death.
463
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,280
And it's sad.
464
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,640
No surprise
if we see dead people on the street.
465
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,040
Or hanged on a bridge.
466
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:20,560
This is the norm for us.
467
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,400
This is not normal for any society.
468
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,800
We still think Mayo is
The number one villain in the world.
469
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,480
We need to keep pushing from all sides.
470
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,680
And don’t preserve this matter...
471
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,520
...for another ten years.
472
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,120
Empires don't end.
Empires do not fall or be destroyed.
473
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,680
One leaves -
another takes his place.
474
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,360
Stronger and tighter.
