Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,123 --> 00:00:04,124
[police siren wails]
2
00:00:07,461 --> 00:00:09,863
[helicopter whirring]
3
00:00:09,964 --> 00:00:14,000
Each suspect was armed with
two handguns.
4
00:00:14,101 --> 00:00:18,038
And between them, they fired
approximately 30 rounds at the officers.
5
00:00:18,139 --> 00:00:22,909
Suspect's cold blooded murderer.
He's armed and dangerous.
6
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:26,179
And should be treated
with extreme caution.
7
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:35,655
[Tim Stehr] By the second day,
we had US Marshals and
8
00:00:35,756 --> 00:00:40,827
Adam Bercovici and his crew getting intel
on everything they could. We had SWAT teams.
9
00:00:40,961 --> 00:00:42,462
[gunshot]
10
00:00:42,563 --> 00:00:45,532
[Adam Bercovici] We are serving search
warrants, taking people into custody.
11
00:00:45,633 --> 00:00:48,668
We are questioning witnesses.
We are downloading information.
12
00:00:48,769 --> 00:00:53,506
[Stehr] We had 11 active surveillances
involving 22 different teams.
13
00:00:53,607 --> 00:00:56,643
It was a huge operation by
that second day.
14
00:00:56,744 --> 00:01:00,146
[Bruce Applin] So the first few days of this
thing were pretty fanatic and fast paced
15
00:01:00,247 --> 00:01:01,981
because the guy is on the run.
16
00:01:02,083 --> 00:01:06,086
[officer] We got a manhunt
and it's a pretty significant one.
17
00:01:06,187 --> 00:01:09,089
[Stehr] Who would be moving
him, who would be letting him hide?
18
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:12,859
We weren't necessarily looking for evidence.
We had evidence, we had evidence at the scene.
19
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,728
- [camera shutter clicking] - [Stehr] We
were looking for the person responsible.
20
00:01:21,168 --> 00:01:25,038
[Gun shot blasts]
21
00:01:35,516 --> 00:01:37,050
This stuff doesn't happen
in the city of Burbank.
22
00:01:37,151 --> 00:01:38,218
And it didn't.
23
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,253
[Sirens]
24
00:01:42,189 --> 00:01:44,591
What started as the murder
of my son...
25
00:01:44,692 --> 00:01:49,329
got bigger, and bigger,
and bigger.
26
00:01:51,632 --> 00:01:54,734
He had a direct pipeline source
to a superlab from Mexico.
27
00:01:54,802 --> 00:01:57,470
Primal drug cartels have waged
a deadly war...
28
00:01:57,571 --> 00:01:59,139
...Victims suffered
violent deaths...
29
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,741
Twelve more dead bodies
were found today.
30
00:02:03,277 --> 00:02:04,310
Influence and money,
they've got it all.
31
00:02:04,411 --> 00:02:07,847
It was shocking to me
that someone at the top
32
00:02:07,948 --> 00:02:10,250
of city government was swept up
in the investigation.
33
00:02:10,351 --> 00:02:13,186
A lot of people watched
"The Wire",
34
00:02:13,287 --> 00:02:14,888
but we lived it.
35
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:33,907
[phone ringing]
36
00:02:34,008 --> 00:02:36,142
[Stehr] We set up a command post
at the Burbank Police Department.
37
00:02:38,979 --> 00:02:42,682
[Diane Kewin-Anderson] We had a
picture of Officer Pavelka on the wall.
38
00:02:42,783 --> 00:02:47,287
To remind us all why we were
there and the job we were doing.
39
00:02:50,191 --> 00:02:51,824
[Applin] It was him
in his uniform,
40
00:02:51,926 --> 00:02:54,527
looking young and idealistic
and ready to go.
41
00:02:56,163 --> 00:02:59,599
And even though I didn't know
Matt, it became immediately
42
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:03,436
personal to me because I could
kinda see myself in him.
43
00:03:03,537 --> 00:03:06,839
This young aggressive officer
out trying to do the right thing,
44
00:03:06,941 --> 00:03:08,841
serve and protect his community,
45
00:03:08,943 --> 00:03:11,377
ends up getting in a gunfight
that cost him his life.
46
00:03:17,518 --> 00:03:23,823
[officer] And again none of those other
guys, you don't have any other numbers or...
47
00:03:23,924 --> 00:03:28,628
[suspect] I have Carlos and Ihave the one I gave you.
48
00:03:28,729 --> 00:03:30,563
-[digital beeping] -[John
Williams] You all right?
49
00:03:30,664 --> 00:03:34,234
[Bercovici] My investigators
were working with Burbank,
50
00:03:34,335 --> 00:03:37,170
- doing interviews...
- [suspect] I'm telling you, I didn't transport nobody.
51
00:03:37,271 --> 00:03:39,572
- [Bercovici] ...with the Burbank officers.
- [officer] They've given us,
52
00:03:39,673 --> 00:03:42,242
- you know, half-truths...
- [Williams] I was partnered with
53
00:03:42,343 --> 00:03:45,845
a gang sergeant from Burbank.
54
00:03:45,946 --> 00:03:49,949
So the type of people we're
talking to are other gang members.
55
00:03:50,050 --> 00:03:53,186
A lot of associates, a lot of family
members were being interviewed.
56
00:03:53,287 --> 00:03:56,990
You have people across the
table from you that are very hostile,
57
00:03:57,091 --> 00:04:00,093
calling you every name
in the book.
58
00:04:00,194 --> 00:04:04,297
And you can't let that
distract you from your mission.
59
00:04:09,003 --> 00:04:13,306
[Williams] One of the interviewees
they brought in was a Luis Sandoval.
60
00:04:13,407 --> 00:04:17,710
You could tell that he was no stranger
to the police or an interview room.
61
00:04:17,811 --> 00:04:21,848
From the very beginning,
he was uh, very belligerent.
62
00:04:21,949 --> 00:04:25,418
He was saying disrespectful
things about, you know, Pavelka,
63
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:29,389
and he didn't care that an
officer was killed and, um...
64
00:04:29,490 --> 00:04:31,991
I can't remember, you know,
exact words that he would use,
65
00:04:32,092 --> 00:04:34,193
but he pissed me off! [laughs]
66
00:04:34,295 --> 00:04:39,365
Um... you know, it's obvious
to us that this guy is probably
67
00:04:39,466 --> 00:04:44,070
what we would call OG or original gangster
or, like, a shot caller of the gang.
68
00:04:48,142 --> 00:04:51,311
He may know what's going on but
we had absolutely nothing on him.
69
00:04:53,781 --> 00:04:58,718
No evidence to prove anything.
It's very, very frustrating,
70
00:04:58,819 --> 00:05:01,988
but he was not gonna co-operate
with us or talk to us at all.
71
00:05:18,138 --> 00:05:22,208
So, as you look at Erwin de Leon,
you look at where David Garcia lives.
72
00:05:22,309 --> 00:05:23,910
They live in the
same neighborhood.
73
00:05:24,011 --> 00:05:26,279
De Leon lived right down the
street from him.
74
00:05:26,380 --> 00:05:31,884
We thought Erwin de Leon was a link into moving
David Garcia the night of the occurrence.
75
00:05:31,985 --> 00:05:35,088
[officer] Okay, so, like wewere talking about earlier...
76
00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:42,028
We adopted a philosophy that anyone who
co-operated with us walked out the front door.
77
00:05:43,130 --> 00:05:46,733
And that was their incentive
to co-operate.
78
00:05:46,834 --> 00:05:49,469
[Erwin de Leon] So when,
like, our leader...
79
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:53,039
Erwin de Leon admitted
that he drove David Garcia,
80
00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:57,176
from the neighborhood, from
their neighborhood to Arleta.
81
00:06:00,914 --> 00:06:04,717
So, when David Garcia ran up the
freeway, back to his neighborhood,
82
00:06:06,387 --> 00:06:08,988
de Leon, he didn't know
what to do with him.
83
00:06:09,089 --> 00:06:12,225
So he took him to another gang
member's house in Arleta.
84
00:06:13,627 --> 00:06:17,797
After de Leon had shown us
where he had taken David Garcia,
85
00:06:17,898 --> 00:06:20,566
- we brought in bloodhounds.
- [barking]
86
00:06:24,805 --> 00:06:27,240
- And they alerted and followed the scent down the street.
- [barking]
87
00:06:31,378 --> 00:06:33,446
And it stopped next to the curb.
88
00:06:35,883 --> 00:06:37,250
The handler said,
"It ends here."
89
00:06:38,285 --> 00:06:40,086
And we assumed he was taken
away in a car.
90
00:06:41,188 --> 00:06:42,955
[police radio chatter]
91
00:06:47,361 --> 00:06:49,195
[Applin] One thing maybe
the movies got right once,
92
00:06:49,296 --> 00:06:52,532
was the sentiment by Tommy
Lee Jones in The Fugitive
93
00:06:52,633 --> 00:06:56,002
that, like, time starts now,
clock is ticking, we've got to go.
94
00:06:56,103 --> 00:07:00,606
Every second you give a fugitive is
another second he has to get further away,
95
00:07:00,707 --> 00:07:05,411
to plan more and to take advantage
of whatever network he's using.
96
00:07:05,512 --> 00:07:09,081
[Stehr] With the information we had, we
knew he was being moved by associates
97
00:07:09,183 --> 00:07:12,285
- of Vineland Boyz gang members.
- [siren blaring]
98
00:07:12,386 --> 00:07:15,922
- [Stehr] So that made us focus on the gang neighborhood.
- [siren blaring]
99
00:07:20,861 --> 00:07:23,296
And we weren't gonna quit
until we caught them.
100
00:07:32,272 --> 00:07:35,842
[Michael Albanese] It was like
one long SWAT call-out.
101
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,048
A typical SWAT call-out
may go four-to-six hours.
102
00:07:42,149 --> 00:07:46,686
In this operation, this manhunt
would start in the afternoon...
103
00:07:53,093 --> 00:07:55,027
end in the
early morning hours...
104
00:07:57,698 --> 00:08:03,436
double back, come back again.
And it just went on and on and on.
105
00:08:10,744 --> 00:08:14,714
[Stehr] At times there was 500
people out there, searching and looking.
106
00:08:15,716 --> 00:08:18,851
[SWAT team member shouting]
107
00:08:18,952 --> 00:08:23,155
So, I really thought we were gonna be
finding him, catching him relatively soon.
108
00:08:28,996 --> 00:08:31,764
[Bercovici] After two days, I
remember getting a few hours' sleep
109
00:08:31,865 --> 00:08:33,900
and coming back and doing
it all over again.
110
00:08:36,703 --> 00:08:40,740
You know, where a three-hour
nap in your car was, like, you know...
111
00:08:40,841 --> 00:08:42,842
was the greatest thing you
could ever have.
112
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:52,285
[Albanese] It wasn't right.
Everybody was running out of gas.
113
00:08:52,386 --> 00:08:57,189
So one of the challenges is to
keep them focused on the mission.
114
00:08:58,592 --> 00:09:01,394
Could be a little bit tired,
maybe you haven't seen the kids.
115
00:09:01,495 --> 00:09:07,099
But you need to be focused.
So that no one gets hurt.
116
00:09:10,637 --> 00:09:13,239
[Williams] By day four, we
probably had interviewed,
117
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:17,743
I would say, at least 40 people,
trying to get more information.
118
00:09:23,016 --> 00:09:26,419
- [phone ringing]
- [gun cocking]
119
00:09:28,822 --> 00:09:34,193
[Stehr] I thought we were on his tail
all the time. You know... I really did.
120
00:09:34,294 --> 00:09:37,296
I thought we were right behind
him constantly.
121
00:09:46,773 --> 00:09:48,574
But we hadn't been
able to find him.
122
00:09:51,778 --> 00:09:55,448
We had no lead
of where to go from there.
123
00:10:02,923 --> 00:10:04,357
[Bercovici]
What represents to me,
124
00:10:04,458 --> 00:10:07,226
all these years later and even back
then, was a certain sophistication
125
00:10:07,327 --> 00:10:08,861
that we weren't prepared for.
126
00:10:08,962 --> 00:10:11,664
Sophisticated enough
to get him out of there.
127
00:10:11,765 --> 00:10:16,168
And have him essentially... have David Garcia
essentially kinda disappear into thin air.
128
00:10:19,306 --> 00:10:23,809
Before this happened I had not heard much,
if anything at all, about the Vineland Boyz.
129
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:27,480
But any group that is able to
hide guy like this, it's not
130
00:10:27,581 --> 00:10:30,983
just a street level
JV kinda gang.
131
00:10:31,084 --> 00:10:36,455
So we had to move them up into a
slightly higher, more dangerous category.
132
00:10:39,793 --> 00:10:41,394
[song playing in Spanish]
133
00:10:46,266 --> 00:10:51,971
A typical gang, if you look at them right
away, you know, they're gang members.
134
00:10:52,072 --> 00:10:54,540
They dress down,
socks up to their knees,
135
00:10:54,641 --> 00:10:57,543
they've got baggy clothes, they
sport their tattoos out in the open.
136
00:10:57,644 --> 00:11:00,546
You want people to know
you're a gang member.
137
00:11:00,647 --> 00:11:03,149
Vineland was little
bit different.
138
00:11:03,250 --> 00:11:07,286
Vineland Boyz had a whole bunch of gang
members that were flying under the radar.
139
00:11:07,354 --> 00:11:10,189
Because they had got into it
with the Mexican Mafia.
140
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:20,433
- [bell rings] - [Mundo] The
Mexican Mafia is not from Mexico.
141
00:11:20,534 --> 00:11:24,904
The Mexican Mafia is as
American as apple pie.
142
00:11:25,005 --> 00:11:30,242
When you think Mexican Mafia, you think
Mexican drug trafficking organizations.
143
00:11:30,343 --> 00:11:31,677
But it's a prison gang.
144
00:11:33,013 --> 00:11:37,316
The inside controls the
outside. The Mexican Mafia today
145
00:11:37,417 --> 00:11:43,022
controls tens of thousands of
gang members on the streets.
146
00:11:43,123 --> 00:11:45,224
By way of the green light.
147
00:11:47,661 --> 00:11:51,564
[Fournier] What green-lighting
means is almost like a target list.
148
00:11:51,665 --> 00:11:54,266
So basically what happens is,
if you're not paying taxes,
149
00:11:54,367 --> 00:11:57,136
the Mexican Mafia
green-lights your gang.
150
00:11:57,237 --> 00:12:00,372
And basically that opens your
gang up to be shot on the street.
151
00:12:00,474 --> 00:12:05,311
[Mundo] And if you are not caught on
the outside by other rival street gangs,
152
00:12:05,412 --> 00:12:10,216
then, if you come to the
county jail, which is inevitable...
153
00:12:10,317 --> 00:12:14,920
You're involved in crime, inevitably
you are going to end up in the county jail.
154
00:12:15,021 --> 00:12:18,190
...and you're on the Mexican
Mafia's green-light list,
155
00:12:18,291 --> 00:12:19,692
something's gonna happen to you.
156
00:12:44,584 --> 00:12:47,019
[Fournier] Vineland Boyz
got so worried
157
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,355
about being identified by
the Mexican Mafia,
158
00:12:49,456 --> 00:12:51,290
they would actually, when they
were running their dope,
159
00:12:51,391 --> 00:12:52,925
they'd dress up like
college students.
160
00:12:53,026 --> 00:12:57,463
They would wear glasses and if they
didn't need glasses, wear a backpack.
161
00:12:57,564 --> 00:13:00,633
And they would try to look like a
student so they wouldn't stand out.
162
00:13:00,734 --> 00:13:03,836
They would have tattoos,
they'd just hide them.
163
00:13:03,937 --> 00:13:06,872
They would wear a long-sleeved shirt,
do anything they can or they would tattoo
164
00:13:06,973 --> 00:13:11,010
themselves in areas like on the stomach
or back, where it wouldn't stand out.
165
00:13:11,111 --> 00:13:13,779
So a lot of gang members
started flying under the radar.
166
00:13:30,997 --> 00:13:33,766
[Fournier] Eventually they made
amends with the Mexican Mafia.
167
00:13:33,867 --> 00:13:35,935
Hindsight, I believe
part of that was
168
00:13:36,036 --> 00:13:40,239
because of their connection
with the cartel in Mexico.
169
00:13:40,340 --> 00:13:43,909
I believe that that's what probably
helped end their green light.
170
00:13:44,010 --> 00:13:48,881
They started running dope and it became...
or Meth especially... and it became
171
00:13:48,982 --> 00:13:54,186
mutually beneficial for the Mexican
Mafia, the cartel in Mexico, and them.
172
00:13:54,287 --> 00:13:59,892
A lot of high-level Vineland
Boyz, they learnt that being...
173
00:13:59,993 --> 00:14:04,163
flying under the radar not only kept them
from getting shot by the Mexican Mafia,
174
00:14:04,264 --> 00:14:07,800
it also kept them from getting
pulled over by the police.
175
00:14:07,901 --> 00:14:11,737
So they learnt, "Hey, wait a minute,
this is really good for narcotic cells."
176
00:14:11,838 --> 00:14:14,173
So, what happened is these
people went underground
177
00:14:14,274 --> 00:14:16,575
and us as gang officers,
we weren't aware of them.
178
00:14:20,614 --> 00:14:23,616
[Applin] Why was a cartel
doing business with
179
00:14:23,717 --> 00:14:25,751
or collaborating
with a street gang?
180
00:14:25,852 --> 00:14:30,089
'Cause it's a way for them to operate
without detection, underneath the radar.
181
00:14:30,190 --> 00:14:32,491
Nobody's looking at the Vineland
Boyz because they are perceived
182
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:36,195
to be a relatively JV,
unsophisticated street gang.
183
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:42,034
[Applin] At least
up until this point.
184
00:14:58,952 --> 00:15:00,686
[Stehr] It had been
several days.
185
00:15:00,787 --> 00:15:04,790
And we had a...
a very important break.
186
00:15:04,891 --> 00:15:07,259
[phone ringing]
187
00:15:08,561 --> 00:15:13,432
[Stehr] We received two
independent tips, that told them,
188
00:15:13,533 --> 00:15:17,636
the gang members were hiding
David Garcia in one of the houses
189
00:15:17,737 --> 00:15:19,705
in the gang area in Sun Valley.
190
00:15:21,441 --> 00:15:23,442
[officer] Unit five and sixstanding by.
191
00:15:23,543 --> 00:15:26,578
[Bercovici] We were still working on the
assumption that he was in the neighborhood,
192
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,616
that he was still in the
valley, in the Sun Valley area.
193
00:15:32,218 --> 00:15:34,453
[Stehr] Adam Bercovici
came to me and said,
194
00:15:34,554 --> 00:15:36,922
"Tim, just tell me if you want to
push the button, I'll push the button.
195
00:15:37,023 --> 00:15:38,691
I'll get you all the resources
you need."
196
00:15:44,531 --> 00:15:48,801
[Gary Pugliesi] Back then, 2003, I was
working the North Hollywood gang unit.
197
00:15:48,902 --> 00:15:51,837
I was working
Vineland as one of my gangs.
198
00:15:51,938 --> 00:15:53,739
That particular night,
199
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,077
my sergeant had just jumped in the passenger
seat and we were driving together. And he says,
200
00:15:58,178 --> 00:16:03,082
"Hey, code three to Burbank
police station. Hit it."
201
00:16:03,183 --> 00:16:05,951
- So I hit it.
- [police siren blaring]
202
00:16:14,794 --> 00:16:16,729
[Gary] We walk in the
command room.
203
00:16:16,830 --> 00:16:20,232
And the guys that were in that
room at the time were all,
204
00:16:20,333 --> 00:16:23,702
you know, like big dogs in
the department.
205
00:16:23,803 --> 00:16:26,338
Hillmann, who I
looked up to greatly.
206
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,575
My sergeant, he's, like,
"He's your guy."
207
00:16:29,676 --> 00:16:32,644
And he points to me and he
hadn't given me any heads up.
208
00:16:32,746 --> 00:16:35,981
So, I'm, like, "Um,
I'm the guy for what?"
209
00:16:36,082 --> 00:16:38,150
- [typing]
- [phone ringing]
210
00:16:41,287 --> 00:16:44,390
Chief Hillmann, he says, "So, you
know this neighborhood because
211
00:16:44,491 --> 00:16:48,327
we're gonna do a search
warrant for this whole city block.
212
00:16:48,428 --> 00:16:52,731
And we want you to tell us where
we're gonna put our resources."
213
00:16:52,832 --> 00:16:58,504
This is the center of Vineland Boyz
gang area, what is called Joker's Alley.
214
00:16:58,605 --> 00:17:01,240
And if David Garcia
was in that area,
215
00:17:01,341 --> 00:17:04,476
it's basically a worst case
scenario for a manhunt.
216
00:17:05,478 --> 00:17:07,946
[dogs barking]
217
00:17:08,048 --> 00:17:12,751
[Pugliesi] We had heard rumors in
the past that Vineland had talked about
218
00:17:12,852 --> 00:17:15,220
ambushing officers in
Joker's Alley.
219
00:17:16,823 --> 00:17:20,359
On a regular basis, we
would find casings
220
00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:24,129
and hear AK47 rifle fire.
221
00:17:25,498 --> 00:17:27,633
[Mike Hillmann] We call it a
non-permissive environment.
222
00:17:27,734 --> 00:17:31,437
If you drove into that neighborhood,
and you didn't belong there,
223
00:17:31,538 --> 00:17:33,505
it was an alert to everybody.
224
00:17:37,343 --> 00:17:39,144
You know, when we get in
pursuit of somebody
225
00:17:39,245 --> 00:17:41,914
and they would bail out of
their car in this neighborhood,
226
00:17:42,015 --> 00:17:44,883
if they got out of sight of us,
we almost never found them.
227
00:17:48,354 --> 00:17:51,457
[Pugliesi] They had their escape
routes already pre-planned.
228
00:17:53,226 --> 00:17:54,526
They knew all the ins and outs,
229
00:17:54,627 --> 00:17:56,528
all the little alleys,
all the little cut-outs.
230
00:17:59,299 --> 00:18:00,799
[Fournier] Look at the way
these places are set up,
231
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:04,103
I mean, just right here you
have maybe five or six units.
232
00:18:04,204 --> 00:18:06,205
These places are on top
and then...
233
00:18:06,306 --> 00:18:10,476
Completely on top of each other and you
could actually move around in these attics.
234
00:18:10,577 --> 00:18:12,311
So you could be
in that unit there,
235
00:18:12,412 --> 00:18:14,646
you can go up into the attic
and drop down into another unit.
236
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:20,052
That used to happen quite a bit. We'd
be looking for these gang members,
237
00:18:20,153 --> 00:18:24,189
we'd do search warrants, and we'd find them
up in the attic moving into another apartment.
238
00:18:24,290 --> 00:18:26,959
And of course the people living in those
apartments aren't gonna say anything
239
00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:29,194
'cause these are Vineland Boy
gang members. They don't wanna get,
240
00:18:29,295 --> 00:18:32,197
you know, shot later on
or beat up from the gangs.
241
00:18:32,298 --> 00:18:36,268
That's what had made it so difficult. These
places are right on top of each other.
242
00:18:36,369 --> 00:18:39,138
Trying to find a gang member
in this neighborhood,
243
00:18:39,239 --> 00:18:41,206
is like trying to find a
needle in a haystack.
244
00:18:43,543 --> 00:18:45,310
[Fournier] So what do you do?
245
00:18:45,411 --> 00:18:48,680
Basically you gotta flush out the neighborhood.
You gotta do a door-to-door search.
246
00:18:48,781 --> 00:18:52,050
You gotta search apartment to
apartment, house to house.
247
00:18:52,152 --> 00:18:55,220
Because David Garcia could be
hiding in any one of them.
248
00:18:57,390 --> 00:19:01,293
A rolling search warrant is
like, you know, you start at
249
00:19:01,394 --> 00:19:05,931
one end of the community and you
hit a warrant and you don't find the guy.
250
00:19:06,032 --> 00:19:09,768
Hopefully you'll have enough information
that can move you right to the next location.
251
00:19:11,037 --> 00:19:14,673
Eventually you're moving
across the entire neighborhood.
252
00:19:14,774 --> 00:19:18,777
In searching this whole area,
a whole city block,
253
00:19:18,878 --> 00:19:22,214
we're gonna put our officers
into the hornet's nest.
254
00:19:26,786 --> 00:19:29,655
So for us on SWAT, it's a
little bit heightened sense of,
255
00:19:29,756 --> 00:19:32,224
"Hey, this guy has been on the
run now for five or six days.
256
00:19:32,325 --> 00:19:35,093
He's had time to give this some thought.
He's had time to get guns and weapons.
257
00:19:35,195 --> 00:19:38,096
You guys saw the pictures
from the crime scene.
258
00:19:38,198 --> 00:19:42,868
There were some sophisticated
assault rifles, higher caliber weapons."
259
00:19:42,969 --> 00:19:46,338
So there's no: "Would this guy
be dangerous if we arrested him?"
260
00:19:46,439 --> 00:19:50,542
That's... That's a given.
261
00:19:50,643 --> 00:19:55,681
[Hillmann] Under these conditions,
SWAT is a life saving organization.
262
00:19:55,782 --> 00:20:01,086
When an average SWAT officer spends probably
close to 800 and some hours of training,
263
00:20:01,187 --> 00:20:03,288
the use of force is
extremely low.
264
00:20:04,824 --> 00:20:06,558
[Applin] People don't want to
take a SWAT team on.
265
00:20:06,659 --> 00:20:08,427
And that's the whole...
that's the whole idea.
266
00:20:08,528 --> 00:20:10,996
[Albanese] In our team,
we had 80 folks.
267
00:20:11,097 --> 00:20:14,032
You multiply that times seven,
268
00:20:14,133 --> 00:20:19,705
and when you look at it, you have over 500-600
folks that are involved in the operation.
269
00:20:19,806 --> 00:20:21,340
Heavy vehicles - heavy
vehicles would be
270
00:20:21,441 --> 00:20:24,376
like a BearCat,
certainly the SWAT truck.
271
00:20:25,378 --> 00:20:26,878
The scale was huge.
272
00:20:28,381 --> 00:20:30,782
We had buses to bus
people to the park.
273
00:20:30,883 --> 00:20:33,619
Due to safety reasons, it
involved closing the freeway again.
274
00:20:35,989 --> 00:20:41,994
[Craig Richman] I wasn't there
when this idea started to develop.
275
00:20:42,095 --> 00:20:47,599
I'd gone home to go to sleep. Once I got
over being stunned at what was happening,
276
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:51,903
I jumped on the train but
there was a lot of concern
277
00:20:52,005 --> 00:20:54,740
about the idea of doing
rolling search warrants
278
00:20:54,841 --> 00:20:58,377
where we were just gonna go...
house to house,
279
00:21:00,647 --> 00:21:06,184
searching for a suspect and developing
probable cause as we go along.
280
00:21:06,286 --> 00:21:11,356
That was an unusual tactic. It was
something that had never been done before.
281
00:21:13,493 --> 00:21:15,327
[Richman] We are not
going to stand by
282
00:21:15,428 --> 00:21:18,397
and wait for the
murderer of a police officer
283
00:21:18,498 --> 00:21:21,667
to decide whether he's
gonna turn himself in or not.
284
00:21:21,768 --> 00:21:23,902
[officer on radio]
Three minutes.
285
00:21:26,372 --> 00:21:31,877
The expression's used that the
heat is on. They haven't felt heat yet.
286
00:21:39,385 --> 00:21:40,686
[Mike Pavelka]
I stand here before you,
287
00:21:42,155 --> 00:21:44,323
asking for the public's help
288
00:21:44,424 --> 00:21:46,491
in bringing David Garcia
to justice.
289
00:21:48,528 --> 00:21:53,699
Until the time that he is brought to
justice, the community cannot rest
290
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,602
knowing that such a violent
man is at large.
291
00:21:58,938 --> 00:22:02,741
I've lost my son,
who I love so dearly.
292
00:22:02,842 --> 00:22:06,378
It's just not fair that a man
like that is out there free.
293
00:22:18,725 --> 00:22:21,093
[police siren blaring]
294
00:22:36,242 --> 00:22:39,578
[Stehr] It was such a large operation we
moved the command post to Burbank airport.
295
00:22:41,914 --> 00:22:44,182
My chief was there,
Chief Tom Hoefel.
296
00:22:44,283 --> 00:22:47,119
Chief Bill Bratton
was there from LAPD.
297
00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:48,487
High ranking officials.
298
00:22:51,591 --> 00:22:57,162
It was nerve-racking, as different
places were being searched and hit.
299
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:04,536
[police radio chatter]
300
00:23:04,637 --> 00:23:09,608
And I was waiting for
really good news.
301
00:23:11,010 --> 00:23:13,011
I was hoping we would find
David Garcia.
302
00:23:17,450 --> 00:23:19,418
It was a very long night.
303
00:23:22,155 --> 00:23:24,523
I thought we would come up
with something for sure,
304
00:23:24,624 --> 00:23:26,825
doing these search warrants
and during these raids.
305
00:23:26,926 --> 00:23:28,293
I thought for sure we would get
306
00:23:28,394 --> 00:23:32,364
the lead that would take us to
David Garcia and we didn't.
307
00:23:32,465 --> 00:23:34,399
The trail for him
had stopped in Arleta.
308
00:23:50,483 --> 00:23:52,217
[Stehr] Coming from NYPD,
309
00:23:52,318 --> 00:23:55,787
he wouldn't have any specific
knowledge about a specific gang here in LA.
310
00:23:55,888 --> 00:23:58,356
He asked to find a gang
officer to brief him.
311
00:23:58,458 --> 00:24:00,659
And I was standing right there
when that happened.
312
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,263
Dan Fournier, he was an expert
on Vineland Boyz.
313
00:24:05,364 --> 00:24:09,534
[Dan] So Chief Bratton called me into
the command post and he just told me,
314
00:24:09,635 --> 00:24:14,372
just straight, you know, "Be honest
and be candid with him about the gang."
315
00:24:14,474 --> 00:24:17,242
I started off telling him, you
know, that, "Hey, you know,
316
00:24:17,343 --> 00:24:23,482
this isn't the first time, the
gang has killed a police officer."
317
00:24:23,583 --> 00:24:25,617
[Bercovici]
Fournier told Bratton
318
00:24:25,718 --> 00:24:29,621
that this was the second police
officer that the Vineland Boyz had killed.
319
00:24:29,722 --> 00:24:31,256
And Bratton didn't know
anything about it.
320
00:24:31,357 --> 00:24:34,493
He said, "Who'd they kill?"
"They killed one of yours in 1988."
321
00:24:41,067 --> 00:24:44,369
[Hillmann] I was a young
lieutenant in 1988.
322
00:24:44,470 --> 00:24:48,673
And I remember that an officer by the
name of James Beyea was shot and killed.
323
00:24:57,650 --> 00:25:01,887
He had interrupted
a burglary in North Hollywood.
324
00:25:04,857 --> 00:25:07,959
[Bercovici] Jim Beyea was a rookie
cop. He and his partner responded.
325
00:25:08,060 --> 00:25:09,761
When they got there, there
was just the two of them.
326
00:25:09,896 --> 00:25:12,864
They saw a couple of suspects
break from the place and run.
327
00:25:12,965 --> 00:25:17,802
Beyea caught up with one of the suspects, a
16-year-old violent boy named Bobby Steel.
328
00:25:17,904 --> 00:25:21,139
There was a quick struggle.
Somehow in the course of the struggle,
329
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,910
the suspect got a hold of
Beyea's gun, and shot him.
330
00:25:28,447 --> 00:25:32,050
And Bratton was shocked. I mean,
331
00:25:32,151 --> 00:25:35,620
you could just see the shock on his
face and it almost felt like he's, like,
332
00:25:35,721 --> 00:25:38,890
"And this gang is allowed to
exist?" Almost as like, I mean,
333
00:25:40,059 --> 00:25:41,693
something was gonna
be done about this gang.
334
00:25:43,262 --> 00:25:46,531
There was gonna be more to
this than just finding David Garcia.
335
00:25:46,632 --> 00:25:52,370
It was very clear at that particular
point. This had to be dismantled.
336
00:26:02,181 --> 00:26:05,183
[Fournier] Even though those rolling
search warrants didn't find Garcia,
337
00:26:05,284 --> 00:26:07,986
certain gang members were
suddenly more co-operative with us.
338
00:26:10,289 --> 00:26:14,659
A couple of people decided that
the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.
339
00:26:16,262 --> 00:26:17,762
And Pickles is an example
of that.
340
00:26:21,634 --> 00:26:26,104
[Williams] Pickles was Juan
Salinas. He was a violent boy.
341
00:26:26,205 --> 00:26:33,278
He was a friend of Garcia's. We got an indication
that they were close and that if anybody
342
00:26:33,379 --> 00:26:38,683
was in contact with Garcia or Garcia
was on the run and needed help,
343
00:26:38,784 --> 00:26:41,987
this was probably one of the guys
that he was gonna reach out to.
344
00:26:42,088 --> 00:26:48,193
The rolling search warrants and the big
operation put, you know, fear into Pickles.
345
00:26:49,662 --> 00:26:52,097
So, he wants to keep
himself out of trouble.
346
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,802
[Stehr] He agreed to help us.
He agreed to give us information.
347
00:26:59,505 --> 00:27:05,677
What Pickles told us was once David Garcia
got to Arleta, he gets a hold of Pickles.
348
00:27:08,781 --> 00:27:13,752
Tells him, "I gotta get out of here." At the
time Pickles and several other gang members
349
00:27:13,853 --> 00:27:17,288
were at a party. He said, "Sit
tight, we'll come pick you up."
350
00:27:17,390 --> 00:27:21,559
And they got in a car,
drove up to Arleta.
351
00:27:21,661 --> 00:27:24,663
David Garcia explained to them
in the car what had happened.
352
00:27:24,764 --> 00:27:28,233
[Pickles] That's when he started going
on about... about blasting some cops.
353
00:27:28,334 --> 00:27:33,905
He began to talk about statements that
Garcia made about how Matt Pavelka died.
354
00:27:39,512 --> 00:27:42,414
David Garcia said
he had shot the cop.
355
00:27:42,515 --> 00:27:46,484
And that he had circled around when
the cop was behind the wheel well,
356
00:27:46,585 --> 00:27:49,054
kinda begging for his life
and that he had executed him.
357
00:27:49,155 --> 00:27:51,823
[gunshots]
358
00:27:55,895 --> 00:27:58,697
Garcia said that that cop
cried like a little bitch.
359
00:28:02,968 --> 00:28:06,104
To demean somebody in
their last moments...
360
00:28:10,476 --> 00:28:14,679
[Stehr] And he was doing it to inflate
his own... his own stature in the gang.
361
00:28:14,780 --> 00:28:16,614
You know, "This is what I did."
362
00:28:19,919 --> 00:28:21,786
That's just disgusting.
363
00:28:30,396 --> 00:28:33,665
[Pickles] It was me and Chuy.And... And David.
364
00:28:33,766 --> 00:28:35,633
So you drove by to where the
shooting happened?
365
00:28:35,735 --> 00:28:37,969
- Ya we drove by where the shooting...
- [Stehr] We did learn
366
00:28:38,070 --> 00:28:41,172
people that were involved in
moving him and who was in charge.
367
00:28:41,273 --> 00:28:45,210
Pickles told us that David got
in a car with Luis Sandoval.
368
00:28:45,311 --> 00:28:47,645
He was calling the shots.
369
00:28:50,116 --> 00:28:53,017
We had talked to him earlier.
Talked to him a couple of days earlier.
370
00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:57,655
We didn't know his role
in this. He was in charge.
371
00:28:59,125 --> 00:29:03,061
To learn later, that he was
one of the key individuals that
372
00:29:03,162 --> 00:29:08,299
facilitated his escape, you
know, it's very, very frustrating.
373
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,502
But it's...
It's part of the job.
374
00:29:14,406 --> 00:29:16,207
[Stehr] Pickles told us that
they went back to the party.
375
00:29:17,343 --> 00:29:19,244
And they went back,
and they collected money.
376
00:29:19,345 --> 00:29:21,379
He said they came up with $900.
377
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,915
They gave David Garcia the $900.
378
00:29:26,185 --> 00:29:32,390
Luis Sandoval made a call to
someone else, Alfredo Barba.
379
00:29:32,491 --> 00:29:35,894
And he said, "I need you to do something for
me, you need to drive someone somewhere."
380
00:29:37,797 --> 00:29:40,031
And they drove to a gas station,
381
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,468
where they met Alfredo Barba.
382
00:29:45,171 --> 00:29:49,407
Pickles watched David Garcia
get in a car with Barba and leave.
383
00:29:49,508 --> 00:29:51,009
That's the last time he saw him.
384
00:30:04,957 --> 00:30:08,359
This was a concerted effort by a
group of people to get Garcia out of there.
385
00:30:10,496 --> 00:30:12,030
That becomes something
that we can work with.
386
00:30:13,866 --> 00:30:18,703
[Stehr] We now had names. So,
we started to key in on Luis Sandoval.
387
00:30:18,804 --> 00:30:23,675
We wanted to find Alfredo
Barba to help us with the manhunt.
388
00:30:29,415 --> 00:30:31,649
[female dispatcher on radio]
389
00:30:38,490 --> 00:30:41,359
[Stehr] We switched focus at
that time of the investigation.
390
00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:45,129
We were really focusing now on
finding Alfredo Barba and Luis Sandoval.
391
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:51,302
And we have Alfredo Barba
we believe in his home.
392
00:30:51,403 --> 00:30:53,538
So we had a surveillance team
watching the house.
393
00:30:53,639 --> 00:30:57,408
[radio] There is a lot of
activity right now so stand by.
394
00:30:57,509 --> 00:31:02,614
[Stehr] We knew very little about him.
Alfredo Barba had been in the military.
395
00:31:02,715 --> 00:31:07,385
He didn't have a criminal record. So
he was someone we call a facilitator.
396
00:31:07,486 --> 00:31:11,422
They're not necessarily
participating in the direct gang activity,
397
00:31:11,523 --> 00:31:16,961
but they're supplying locations,
rental agreements, telephones, pagers.
398
00:31:17,062 --> 00:31:20,465
It was under his name because
it was a clean name.
399
00:31:20,532 --> 00:31:24,469
We knew he was the person that
transported David Garcia.
400
00:31:24,570 --> 00:31:27,238
Different surveillance teams
were watching him.
401
00:31:28,307 --> 00:31:30,942
We were afraid to serve a
search warrant on the home
402
00:31:31,043 --> 00:31:33,044
and give him time to make
a telephone call.
403
00:31:33,145 --> 00:31:36,781
If Barba makes a phone call,
tells Luis Sandoval,
404
00:31:36,882 --> 00:31:39,550
the gig is up, David Garcia
is moved somewhere else.
405
00:31:39,652 --> 00:31:41,753
So we wanted to get him
outside of the house.
406
00:31:42,721 --> 00:31:43,855
[officer] No change.
407
00:31:45,724 --> 00:31:48,092
[Stehr] It's kind of unusual that he
doesn't come out and go somewhere.
408
00:31:48,193 --> 00:31:50,728
But we have other things happening,
you know, the command post was busy,
409
00:31:50,829 --> 00:31:52,830
busy,
an extremely busy location.
410
00:31:54,533 --> 00:31:56,401
Still trying to find
Luis Sandoval.
411
00:31:56,502 --> 00:31:59,971
We were still trying to get information
from Pickles who was with us.
412
00:32:00,072 --> 00:32:02,006
You know we were... there
was a lot of different avenues.
413
00:32:02,107 --> 00:32:04,542
We were still bringing in,
talking to gang members.
414
00:32:17,523 --> 00:32:20,391
[Stehr] Matt Pavelka's funeral
was on a Friday.
415
00:32:21,894 --> 00:32:24,929
You know, of course a very
emotional day, plus it was a huge day.
416
00:32:25,030 --> 00:32:30,401
We had worked all night before but
we had to pay our respects to Matt.
417
00:32:42,281 --> 00:32:45,817
[announcer] Proudly served this country
as a member of the United States Air Force
418
00:32:45,918 --> 00:32:49,187
and earned meritorious and
outstanding achievement awards.
419
00:32:49,288 --> 00:32:55,293
He was hired as a police recruit by the
Burbank Police department on August 5th, 2002
420
00:32:55,394 --> 00:33:01,332
and was graduated from the Ventura County
Sheriff's Academy on January 31st, 2003.
421
00:33:02,334 --> 00:33:04,569
On November 15th, 2003,
422
00:33:04,670 --> 00:33:08,339
Officer Pavelka answered Officer
Gregory Campbell's call for backup,
423
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,274
with courage and valor.
424
00:33:10,376 --> 00:33:12,643
[bagpipes playing]
425
00:33:21,887 --> 00:33:26,024
The men and women of the Burbank Police
Department are forever grateful and proud
426
00:33:26,125 --> 00:33:28,493
to have served with
Officer Matthew Pavelka
427
00:33:28,594 --> 00:33:32,096
and will never forget
his ultimate sacrifice.
428
00:33:32,197 --> 00:33:38,369
Officer Pavelka is survived by his parents
Michael and Sue and his brother Nick.
429
00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:43,508
Officer Matthew Pavelka, end
of watch, November 15th, 2003.
430
00:33:45,944 --> 00:33:48,546
[helicopter whirring]
431
00:33:58,090 --> 00:34:02,393
It's overwhelming how many people
are here and how many lives he's touched.
432
00:34:03,996 --> 00:34:08,266
I'll always remember your smile
because it was so contagious.
433
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,603
The way you would sing and dance for
me at any time, any place whenever I asked.
434
00:34:14,940 --> 00:34:21,245
I'll never forget the way you would look
me in my eyes and tell me, "I love you."
435
00:34:22,214 --> 00:34:25,116
You would take my breath away.
436
00:34:25,217 --> 00:34:28,419
[Darin] Jessica was, uh,
Matt's girlfriend.
437
00:34:29,354 --> 00:34:30,788
They were very serious.
438
00:34:30,889 --> 00:34:33,891
In fact, they had even talked
about possibly getting married.
439
00:34:35,894 --> 00:34:38,329
So she was considered
part of the family.
440
00:34:41,934 --> 00:34:45,403
[Sue Pavelka] I never actually
never saw Mike cry, not even once.
441
00:34:46,572 --> 00:34:48,739
I know he was hurting.
442
00:34:48,841 --> 00:34:53,945
I think it's because he was a police
officer that he doesn't show his emotions.
443
00:34:56,181 --> 00:35:02,253
[Mike Pavelka] I mean... the
pain that I felt was so extreme.
444
00:35:02,354 --> 00:35:06,190
At the very beginning of this,
I couldn't get through an hour.
445
00:35:06,291 --> 00:35:11,062
And I remember I talked to an
LAPD psychologist about it.
446
00:35:11,163 --> 00:35:15,633
I said, "How do... How do you get
past this pain?" And he said, "You can't.
447
00:35:16,668 --> 00:35:22,173
Because you loved Matthew so
much that,
448
00:35:22,274 --> 00:35:25,710
that is what's
causing you all this pain.
449
00:35:25,811 --> 00:35:30,815
If you had a relationship with your
son that you didn't care about him,
450
00:35:30,916 --> 00:35:32,250
you wouldn't have the pain.
451
00:35:34,086 --> 00:35:36,721
"So which way do you want it,
Mike?" is what he asked me.
452
00:35:45,230 --> 00:35:47,165
As soon as the funeral was
over, I paid my respects
453
00:35:47,266 --> 00:35:49,133
and then immediately moved
back to the command post.
454
00:35:56,175 --> 00:35:59,744
There was a heightened fear
'cause we had information that
455
00:35:59,845 --> 00:36:04,415
gang members are going to retaliate because
we killed Aranda, who was a gang member.
456
00:36:06,585 --> 00:36:08,052
Tom Hoefel, the chief at
that time.
457
00:36:08,153 --> 00:36:11,522
He was concerned about what
other family members were thinking,
458
00:36:11,623 --> 00:36:13,357
family members of
other officers.
459
00:36:13,458 --> 00:36:17,395
Is this going to be a gun battle
between the gang and the police now?
460
00:36:17,496 --> 00:36:19,063
Are they going to be gunning
for each other?
461
00:36:32,244 --> 00:36:34,412
[female officer] Uh, is thisour target?
462
00:36:34,513 --> 00:36:36,681
[Williams] He's heading
your way.
463
00:36:38,083 --> 00:36:39,784
[female officer] Understand.
464
00:36:39,885 --> 00:36:44,121
[Stehr] Alfredo Barba. It was almost two
days before he comes out of the house.
465
00:36:47,793 --> 00:36:51,562
And the surveillance team thinks
that's the right time to take him down
466
00:36:51,663 --> 00:36:55,900
and arrest him, before
he can make any phone calls.
467
00:36:56,001 --> 00:37:01,706
Alfredo Barba is that missing link
that probably transported David Garcia.
468
00:37:01,807 --> 00:37:04,208
We need to get him to talk.
469
00:37:05,811 --> 00:37:08,779
[officer] Opening clear.We have a visual.
470
00:37:09,748 --> 00:37:11,415
10-4.
471
00:37:23,362 --> 00:37:25,363
[cell phone rings]
472
00:37:25,464 --> 00:37:28,566
Yeah. Okay.
473
00:37:28,667 --> 00:37:31,669
[Scott Samuels] The Marshal Service
have been doing this for 230 years.
474
00:37:31,770 --> 00:37:35,706
We're really good at finding
people that don't want to be found.
475
00:37:35,807 --> 00:37:38,376
Everybody's heard the Old West
days of...
476
00:37:38,477 --> 00:37:42,380
have the marshal go out and find the
bad guy and bring him to court for justice.
477
00:37:42,481 --> 00:37:46,651
That is how we started. And
that's still what we do.
478
00:37:46,752 --> 00:37:48,352
We hunt people.
479
00:37:53,292 --> 00:37:56,060
[Stehr] Alfredo Barba
gets arrested.
480
00:37:56,161 --> 00:38:00,298
They take him to the US
Marshals. US Marshals take custody.
481
00:38:00,399 --> 00:38:02,967
[officer] This is 23.
We have suspect inbound.
482
00:38:03,068 --> 00:38:07,271
So Tony Burke was Bad Tony.
Everybody called him Bad Tony.
483
00:38:07,372 --> 00:38:12,109
He looked a little bit like an
outlaw biker. Don't let that fool you.
484
00:38:12,210 --> 00:38:15,046
Because he is a
crackerjack investigator.
485
00:38:15,147 --> 00:38:18,716
Some people are lucky and some
people make their luck.
486
00:38:18,817 --> 00:38:22,653
Investigatively, Tony would be
the guy that makes his luck.
487
00:38:22,721 --> 00:38:25,956
Sometimes you get to a point
where you need somebody to talk.
488
00:38:26,058 --> 00:38:29,360
You need to get that information.
You need to extract it somehow.
489
00:38:29,461 --> 00:38:31,796
You may have to do something
new and be creative.
490
00:38:31,897 --> 00:38:35,766
Sometimes shaking the tree, rocking
people, getting them uncomfortable,
491
00:38:35,867 --> 00:38:38,235
creates situations to happen.
492
00:38:41,306 --> 00:38:44,275
[Tony Burke] So I came up with
a plan.
493
00:38:44,376 --> 00:38:48,913
We told the officers who were gonna arrest
him, like, "Don't really say anything.
494
00:38:49,014 --> 00:38:52,983
Let him do that long ride where
you sit in the back of a police car.
495
00:38:53,085 --> 00:38:58,923
You know, showing up, you walk into
the dark van. And put leg irons on him.
496
00:38:59,024 --> 00:39:02,093
Telling him, 'Just letting you
know, you'll be coming with us.'"
497
00:39:04,363 --> 00:39:08,366
He just had that stunned deer
look in his face.
498
00:39:08,467 --> 00:39:13,871
A lot of these gang members are hardened
individuals, who spend time in jail.
499
00:39:14,940 --> 00:39:17,274
- But not all of them.
- He was already scared.
500
00:39:23,482 --> 00:39:26,050
I'm sitting in the front
seat with the driver.
501
00:39:26,151 --> 00:39:29,854
As we transport him, we're doing radio
transmissions and having people talk to us
502
00:39:29,955 --> 00:39:31,956
on our radio.
503
00:39:32,057 --> 00:39:33,791
Go ahead. That is Burke.
504
00:39:36,061 --> 00:39:37,561
Uh, we got one.
505
00:39:37,662 --> 00:39:40,197
[Burke] Back there, we're talking with
command center, on the Mexican side.
506
00:39:40,298 --> 00:39:44,702
[man speaking Spanish on radio]
507
00:39:46,772 --> 00:39:50,141
Okay, yeah,
we're inbound right now.
508
00:39:50,242 --> 00:39:53,611
We're saying, "We're possibly
bringing one material witness across"
509
00:39:53,712 --> 00:39:55,613
to continue with
the investigation.
510
00:39:55,714 --> 00:39:59,183
"Please notify our Mexican counterparts."
So he can hear us talking about this.
511
00:39:59,284 --> 00:40:03,487
- [man speaks Spanish] - That's right.
Warren, we're going to be bringing him over.
512
00:40:03,588 --> 00:40:06,524
[man speaks Spanish on radio]
513
00:40:08,226 --> 00:40:11,195
[Burke] He's, like, "No, I
can't... I can't go to Mexico!"
514
00:40:11,296 --> 00:40:16,200
You know, like, is he being handed over
to your Mexican Interpol or to a cartel?
515
00:40:16,301 --> 00:40:20,438
Who knows? I mean he's got... There's
probably a 100 things going through his mind.
516
00:40:20,539 --> 00:40:23,040
[radio chatter in Spanish]
517
00:40:25,544 --> 00:40:29,013
So at this point, even though
some of us were starting to believe
518
00:40:29,114 --> 00:40:31,348
that the gang might have
connections in Mexico,
519
00:40:31,450 --> 00:40:33,884
we weren't really sure what
they were yet.
520
00:40:35,587 --> 00:40:38,923
But then again, Alfredo Barba
probably wasn't sure either.
521
00:40:40,392 --> 00:40:42,460
In other words,
Tony was bluffing.
522
00:40:43,795 --> 00:40:48,132
Alfredo Barba, he wants to
stay on... on good American soil.
523
00:40:48,233 --> 00:40:49,800
And take his chances here.
524
00:40:53,705 --> 00:40:55,072
My chief, John Clarke,
525
00:40:55,173 --> 00:40:58,309
he's worried that I would just
continue driving this guy to Mexico.
526
00:40:58,410 --> 00:41:00,978
And he goes, "You know what? You
gotta be extremely careful around here.
527
00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:05,182
'Cause technically, if you transport
him outside San Diego County line,
528
00:41:05,283 --> 00:41:08,552
you know, lawyers may
construe that as kidnapping."
529
00:41:10,288 --> 00:41:12,857
[Burke] I go, "We don't plan to do
that. We plan to get him to Santa Ana.
530
00:41:12,958 --> 00:41:15,893
That's still in our... still
in our judicial district."
531
00:41:16,027 --> 00:41:21,599
He's, like, "Oh, my God. Please don't
go south of that San Diego County line."
532
00:41:24,002 --> 00:41:28,272
Santa Ana office, depending on traffic,
is probably about an hour, hour and a half.
533
00:41:28,373 --> 00:41:32,510
Hopefully this would work. Hopefully,
he would, you know, crack and tell us
534
00:41:32,611 --> 00:41:33,811
what we needed to know.
535
00:41:37,349 --> 00:41:39,650
[man speaking Spanish on radio]
536
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,355
[Burke] We're on pins and
needles ourselves.
537
00:41:46,691 --> 00:41:50,494
[man continues speaking
Spanish on radio]
538
00:41:55,333 --> 00:41:59,703
And after about 45 minutes into
it he finally just broke and said,
539
00:41:59,804 --> 00:42:02,806
"I don't want anything to do
with this anymore.
540
00:42:02,908 --> 00:42:07,111
I will tell you whatever you
need to know." I'm, like, "Oh..."
541
00:42:17,422 --> 00:42:20,324
- [Williams] How are you doing?
- I'm good, sir.
542
00:42:20,425 --> 00:42:23,427
- You've been in here a while, you're probably thirsty?
- Oh, thank you.
543
00:42:26,765 --> 00:42:30,734
My name's John Williams. I'm a
detective with LAPD, Major Crimes.
544
00:42:30,835 --> 00:42:35,773
And the Marshals tell me that
you do wanna talk to me today.
545
00:42:35,874 --> 00:42:37,374
[Alfredo Barba] Yes, I do.
546
00:42:37,475 --> 00:42:41,345
From Barba we learn that what
Pickles first of all told us was the truth.
547
00:42:42,380 --> 00:42:45,449
Barba got a phone call from
Luis Sandoval.
548
00:42:45,550 --> 00:42:49,787
"Meet me at the gas station off of
Vanowen." Barba said he arrives there.
549
00:42:49,888 --> 00:42:54,224
There were several people there. He
didn't know many of them. He knew Luis.
550
00:42:54,326 --> 00:42:59,763
He explained to us that he was a facilitator.
That he does different things for Luis.
551
00:42:59,864 --> 00:43:03,467
He is told by Luis, "I
want you to take this guy."
552
00:43:03,568 --> 00:43:08,806
Alfredo Barba says, "Okay," loads
him in a car, and he drives him to Mexico.
553
00:43:12,744 --> 00:43:16,480
Parks on the United States side.
They told him, "Don't drive across.
554
00:43:16,581 --> 00:43:19,984
Park and walk across."
And he parks and walks across,
555
00:43:20,085 --> 00:43:24,054
and delivers
David Garcia into Mexico.
556
00:43:25,290 --> 00:43:27,291
[Bercovici] Our wanted guy was
in another country.
557
00:43:27,392 --> 00:43:29,727
Now we were in a whole
different ball game.
558
00:43:37,335 --> 00:43:41,238
We will not rest, until we hunt
him down and bring him to justice.
