0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>There was no book on how to escape with crits alive.

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's no book. You know when it comes

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to even like when they say, why do you even

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>stay in there? Because we don't know no other way

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 1>like leaving it and feels like you're dying, they seemed

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to keep themselves alive, you know, especially the chapel mind.

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 2>They make out really so many enemies.

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>And status and but you know, I wish I had

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>like surrounded by friends that weren't drug dealers and weren't

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>on the street, and that they were all like stockbrokers

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and were estay investors. I just wish my dad was

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>just worked at a factor.

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think that we were organized escape like out

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 2>of this kind of unharmed.

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>But trying to imagine myself like, you know, spending the

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>rest of my life in prison, I felt like I

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't like bring I could. I was so fucked like

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>so like I can't say it's secured. It was just

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>like this ugly overwhelming family of touching the walls like

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and holding.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>On till iget, Like what what did I do? Like

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>what did I just do to myself?

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's fifty.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Cents and I'm Charlie Webster.

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 4>This is surviv and Ol Chapeau, the twins who brought

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:37.559
<v Speaker 4>down a drug Ward Season two.

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 5>When you've been raised in a life like this, prison

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 5>vibes are something you know well. The twins father was

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 5>in there when they were born and stayed there for

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 5>the first seven years of their lives. Their drug career

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 5>only started because their older brother of my and was

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 5>sent to prison when Jay and Pep was seventeen. They

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 5>did anything to avoid prison life. Only a year before

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 5>turning themselves in, he said he'd rather die than end

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 5>up locked.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Up a real riskt bullying in my head.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Than to go to prison.

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Breaking the cycle and giving their own kids a choice

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 4>that they never had a chance at a normal life

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 4>meant choosing to go to prison, the one place they

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 4>spent their lives running from, and came at the cost

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 4>of their own father's life, who was murdered by the

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 4>cartel because of what they did. The consequences of their

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 4>decision were slowly starting to sink in huddled together in

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 4>a tiny cell in the special housing unit the shoe

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 4>of mcc Chicago, with no idea when or if they

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 4>would be free again.

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>I haven't made been so called that the war would

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>literally have ice on them. And I remember my brother

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and I were so cold that we slept on the

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>same bed next to each other to keep each other

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>one And I remember the card saying, hey, you guys

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>can't do that, and I was like, he's my brother,

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Now one of you guys that get up on another bed,

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give you gets a shot. And I got

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>right up.

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 4>A shot is prison slang for a disciplinary infraction, also

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 4>known as a ticket.

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, they're gonna gets a right up. Like,

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>what's the worst thing? I haven't wearing the shoe. You know,

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it's already hard to be living in this in the

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>shoe in the hole.

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Now we gotta deal with the cold.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm thinking, damn, imagine dealing with the hot, like

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you're just never gonna be you know, it's not made

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to be comfortable, or like the lights are on all night.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, you gotta make yourself an eye cover and

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>it's just weird thing. I don't understand how that helps.

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Because of what they were doing and the reach of

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 4>the cartel, Pete and j were huge targets. They were

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 4>put in the WHITSEC program witness protection inside prison.

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Sometime we call it phase one, phase two or like,

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's not that.

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 2>It's just like witness.

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Protection where you're incurcerated while you're in prison, and there's

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>witness protection for you know, when you're free.

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 6>So what's witness protection mean in prison?

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>It means that it's just it means that you're gonna

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>be safe, but they're gonna add a series of rules

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and you don't get all the privileges that normally like

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>normal prisoners get. It's the cost of like being safe.

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 1>They have rules that could be like punishing with like

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:05.159
<v Speaker 1>disciplinary action, so you c you can't use your name,

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and you can't say certain things. Just you don't get emails,

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't get like certain things that could come back

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and people could kind of get a hold of me

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>they kind of mind it. Or who you would talk

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to or who you can't.

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.839
<v Speaker 6>Did you feel like you needed witness protection in prison?

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 6>Did you feel like there would have been you know,

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 6>like hits on you in prison?

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I need, oh for sure.

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>And one thing like it doesn't matter who you're telling

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're a snitch, which is kind of like gronded

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>because there's the majority of those people in some way

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>somehow cooperating, so I remember it. I would be bored

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 1>sometimes and they'll be like, all you snitches, all you

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>wanna die? And I would just sometime I'll argue with them,

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>be like, why are you mad?

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Mind your business? I'm I'll be like, why are you here?

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Eventually I won the whole shoe over.

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>They got tired of what could they do? It's just

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>us arguing back and forth, and I just me and

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>my brother would make everyone laugh and like if we

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.039
<v Speaker 1>had to do something with our time, like just cause

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 1>you're stuck there sitting there. And then what happened was

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.239
<v Speaker 1>that next you know, some people, some associations start coming

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>up to the show, and now they know.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 6>That we're there, Associates that you'd again like in corporated

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 6>on ended up getting put.

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 2>In this show with you under showing.

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>People started kind of finding out like who we were.

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>They'll be like, yo, I it is the Twins here,

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Like here's the Twins. I know that I wouldn't have

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>survived if I didn't have wines protection.

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 4>With the Twins on the inside setting up their customers

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 4>was going to get suspicious.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 3>If they weren't there in person.

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 4>Someone needed to do the dirty work on the outside,

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 4>and it couldn't be just anyone, It had to be

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 4>another floorers.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 3>The FEDS pulled in Jay's wife, Val.

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 7>They asked for my help, and because Jay and Peter

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 7>were no longer on the streets anymore, I assisted them.

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 7>There were certain missing pieces that they needed. They needed

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 7>me to turn in the ledgers. I went to the

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 7>US Attorney's office and took two computer towers full of

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 7>Jay and peters. You know they're drug ledgers.

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 4>VAL's job wasn't just a turn in ledgers and find

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 4>missing pieces. She also had to essentially go under cover

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 4>for the FEDS at the direction of the lead prosecutor,

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 4>Thomas Shakeshaft, even going as far as wearing a wire

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 4>to help convict the twins.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Customers the customer friend of mine. His name was Kylie Murray.

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>He went by the nickname like c Ali. He was

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>one of my closest customers we had. He was one

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>of my first customers. Kylie was like a big target

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>for the DA in Chicago prior to me and my

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>brother training ourselves in and they they insisted they wanted

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>us to cooperate against them. We had a Lamborghini parked

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta, and he went and he stole the Lamborghini,

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>even though he owed me like five million dollars. The

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>fifth came and asked about the car, and they knew

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>he had it because I would see the re surveillance

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>him and you know, it was our car. And you know,

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 1>once we started talking about that, they you know, they

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>wanted us to cooperate against him, and he had owed

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>us all this money, and they had asked Val if

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>she could reach out to him and give him like

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.839
<v Speaker 1>a face story that my older brother was and continue

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to sell drugs if he would be willing to buy

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>on purchason. And Val met up with him and he

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>gave her two hundred thousand and she gave him the

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 1>title for the car.

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 4>Kylie Murray, also known as Hollywood, was one of the Twins'

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 4>biggest customers because of the cooperation the Flores family were providing.

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Kylie Murray was one of the many people arrested in

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Kylie's case.

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 3>It was for his part in a cocaine trafficking ring

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 3>worth one point eight billion dollars.

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 4>One night, whilst Kylie was out on bail, he was

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 4>walking home and two men pulled up in a white van.

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 4>They got out, shot him dead, and then sped off.

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Val kept the two hundred thousand dollars that Kylie Murray

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 4>gave her before he was arrested. According to Val, prosecutors

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 4>told her she.

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:56.679
<v Speaker 3>Could keep it.

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 4>VAL's cooperation with the Feds included a number of sessions

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 4>where she would sit and profit giving the government as

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 4>much information as.

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.679
<v Speaker 3>They wanted in order to help the brother's case.

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 7>I had to sit down with the government, and there

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 7>was different prosecutors there. There were supervisors there, there was

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 7>agents there, and so you have all these different departments

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 7>that are sitting in one room, and everybody is asking

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.719
<v Speaker 7>me questions. And I noticed that when I would bring

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 7>up certain things, it's like they would hush me because

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 7>they only wanted to speak about certain subjects. They didn't

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 7>want me to get into properties that we owned in Mexico.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 7>They didn't want to know any of that. They basically

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 7>said that they had no jurisdiction over that. And I

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 7>did disclose to them though that you know, I had

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 7>my house in Plainfield.

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 4>Plainfield is a small wealthy town about an hour west

0:10:58.920 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 4>of Chicago.

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 7>I paid for it with drug proceeds we you know,

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 7>our husband's bought us several high end luxury vehicles that

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 7>we brought over from Mexico, several of them, and I

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.559
<v Speaker 7>disclosed that, you know, we had purchase houses. I disclosed

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 7>everything to them.

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 4>The two hundred thousand wasn't the only money that Vile

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 4>collected from the brother's drip debts.

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 3>There was plenty more.

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 7>There was some money that was collected and we put

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 7>the money away in the house in Plainfield. We didn't

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 7>know where to put it, so we put it in

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 7>the theater room where we had this like built up floor,

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 7>and we kind of just removed the face of the

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 7>facial boards of the floor and we put the money

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 7>in there. Jay's attorney wanted to see me in person.

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 7>He told me that the government wanted some money that

0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 7>was picked up in DC and that it was in

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 7>j and Peter's best interest to turn in that money

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 7>because they wanted it and they wanted handed over and

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 7>that that person whoever it was that turned in the

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 7>money would be given immunity. Me and went back to

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.079
<v Speaker 7>the house in Plainfield and we bought these big tupware

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 7>like bins that you would kind of keep in your

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 7>garage if you were keeping like sporting goods or things

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 7>like that that you want.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 6>To store away.

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 7>So we put all the bulk currency inside those bins,

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 7>which was about I don't know, maybe eight to ten bins,

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 7>and we put those in the suv. And when we

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.599
<v Speaker 7>loaded them in the suv, like the truck was completely

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 7>fool I couldn't even see out of the rear view mirror,

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 7>the side mirrorge just because we had all the seats down.

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 7>And I drove it to the attorney's office, which was

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 7>on the north side of Chicago. When we got there,

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 7>the attorney was in complete like shock, like he didn't

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 7>know what to do. He had no idea that what

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 7>he was supposed to do with all this bulk cash,

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 7>Like he didn't want to be responsible for it because

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 7>it was the middle of the night. So he then

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 7>called the government and let them know that he had

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 7>the money in his possession. At that point, he was

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 7>just saying that they did not want to come pick

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 7>up the money. They didn't want to seize the money.

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 7>So the next day we went to the bank and

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 7>we actually deposited that money at the bank. So it

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 7>kind of looked like a scene from like Scarface, where

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.839
<v Speaker 7>We're walking in with these bns of money and they're

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 7>just counting and going through the money counters and counting it,

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 7>and it ended up being like the four point something

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 7>million dollars.

0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 4>The four million dollars was only a portion of the

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 4>full amounts of drug proceeds that was collected by Val

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 4>and other family members.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Val handed it in.

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 4>To Jay's attorney with the expectation that she would get immunity.

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 7>He let me know that he wasn't going to disclose

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 7>to the government who actually turned in the money until

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 7>he got the immunity in writing, because that they were

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 7>playing games. So at that point I know that he

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 7>was trying to protect me and he thought he was

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 7>doing the right thing by having me turned in that money,

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 7>because that's exactly what they wanted.

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Remember, Val didn't have any protection.

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 4>She was not a part of the witness protection program

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 4>like the twins were. The government made a lot of

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 4>special commodations for Jay and Pete. Not only were they

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 4>allowed to be together in the shoe, they eventually got

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 4>to see their families, something that's highly unusual in WHITSEC.

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>So they kind of agreed to allow us to see

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>our family and on Fridays for a little while at

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the same place where they're briefing it their headquarters or whatever.

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 2>In the DA office, they had like a.

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Room where they process you know, inmates or or you know,

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>people they arrested, and it's like a pretty simple room.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>They probably just take your pictures and fingerprints you in.

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>They have like all these little like holding closets, like

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>with a little bench, and the door has a little

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>people and then they are like in the corner of them,

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>there's two bedrooms right next to each other, you know,

0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and there's only one entrance to this room. And my

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>wife would come and bring the kids, and my mom

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>came and my my older brother and val and Jay

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and the boys. And on one of those occasions it

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>was around like that Valentine's was like, I'm that during

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the m during that visit somehow like the wake up. Yeah,

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>And I remember that because I remember she word like

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>something red or something and I'm carrying my baby. It

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>was kind of crowding out whenever my brother and I

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>were out of us cell, Like there was a lot

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>of agings, you know, so they would like crowded and

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>they would like stand by the doorway, you know, and

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I just kind of like they'll be conversaying among themselves,

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and there's like cameras up there too, like in that room.

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>So I remember.

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Like she gets up to go make the baby a bottle,

0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and the baby like fell asleep in mar on side.

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Put the baby down, so right away she's like making

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>the baby the bottle. She's like, we're seeing the bottle

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>in the bathroom and I just walked her towards the

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 1>door with it, and I'm watching her like clean the

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>baby's bottle and there's no one, like I mean, they

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 1>can't see me from that when they're distracted by talking

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to amongst each other. And I remember just.

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Just walking into the bathroom.

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>It's embarrassing because there's my mom's there, and.

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:39.239
<v Speaker 8>You know, I told Peter, I'm like come in.

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she was like then I remember just like and then.

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 8>He had the baby, I have the bottles.

0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Then just like.

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Just going into the bathroom and means so nervous. So

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>like I was like nervous, but I just missed her

0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 1>so much. And I remember just like at that point,

0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 1>like so what whatever happens happened. And I remember her

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 1>telling me like come on, Pete, like I want to

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>have your baby. And I was like, you out your mind.

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>She's like, yeah, I want to have your baby boy,

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And I don't worry. You know, by the time you're

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>coming home, you'll be perfect at that age and you

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>could play with them. And I was like, you don't

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 1>know what you're asking for. But I was like, okay,

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, just in the heat.

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 8>Of the moment, it was like, yeah, I think at

0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 8>that point, we're just conversation. We're just conversating at that

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 8>point right there. But I didn't say play with him.

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 8>I said, I'll you know, I'll have another baby, We'll

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 8>have our kids by that time, they'll be grown and

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.639
<v Speaker 8>you know, you'll have you know, a whole weather, you

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 8>have a whole family by the time you come home. Yes,

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 8>And but mind you, you know we're still living on

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.440
<v Speaker 8>that Oh you're gonna get only eight years. We're getting

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:08.160
<v Speaker 8>in the best situation where you know, he's the biggest cooperator.

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 6>And see's eight years. I thought, I.

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:16.800
<v Speaker 8>Mean I thought maybe eight eight years maximum. At that point.

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 8>I was like, you'll probably be home in like three,

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 8>four or five years. Like I didn't think it was

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 8>going to even be eight years.

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, we're just I guess we were

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>hoping for the best. Anyways, that moment just was so

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 1>intense and we got away.

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 8>And I was yeah, and then it was super fertile

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.919
<v Speaker 8>at that time because I just had I just had.

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Went for it, so you yeah, so we got.

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 8>Busy, yeah, in in the bathroom.

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I believe we got away twice, so there's like

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>one more time.

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And I just afterwards, I was feeling, like, what the wages.

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 2>I hope she's not pregnant, you know, And then of

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 2>course she was pregnant.

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 4>It was the neircomers in there, the like remember there's

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 4>a lot of agents.

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>It was in like and I remember we didn't talk

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.919
<v Speaker 1>about she was just told me one day, like she

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>said something like, are you ready to play with your

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:24.399
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 8>It was like I was. I was already feeling sick,

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:32.000
<v Speaker 8>and I was like, something's some I'm pregnant. One hundred

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.360
<v Speaker 8>percent I'm pregnant. So I took a pregnancy test and

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 8>then he called and I'm like, I'm pregnant, and it

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 8>was it was a lot of different feelings.

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>It was just so like such a shocker, I'm pregnant.

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we were both afraid, like.

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I remember just like thinking, Oh, what are

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the that's gonna say?

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 6>Were you allowed to have sex?

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And of course now it became such a big issue.

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't see I was jeopardizing like so much.

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:16.360
<v Speaker 6>So when did they find out?

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Show the staff at the prison, no, I have a baby,

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like she knows she was pregnant. They see her, but

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>I guess they assumed, like, wait, how long he's been

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 1>in custody something. But I guess they just figured that's

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the way she came, that's the way they met me.

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 2>She's pregnant.

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So I have a legal visit about two thousand and ten.

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm signing some papers and they're doing an interview.

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 2>And all right, I see you later. The next morning,

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 2>like at.

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Seven in the morning, they come knock on my door

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.159
<v Speaker 1>like you know, PF give up legal visit. I'm like

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 1>they what are you talking about? Yeah, get dressed and

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I going to see the agent and the prosecutor in

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 1>their same clothes room day before.

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what the hell's going on? And they

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 2>let me have it. I might ask you a question,

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 2>don't balk your live with me? You have a something?

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 9>I was like, yes, is it yours? I hope so

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:36.879
<v Speaker 9>what the fuck they let me have it?

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 6>They were so pissed off, say figured it out? Yeah,

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 6>what did they say?

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.360
<v Speaker 1>They made me like be thorough about exactly what happened,

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and and they're like, this is gonna be the most

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 1>embarrassing because you fucking deservera in yourself. And I ain't

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.919
<v Speaker 1>look back, and I'm like I understand how that was.

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can't say I regret it. I have

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>my beautiful son. I can't see like probably who wouldn't

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:09.119
<v Speaker 1>take the chance that they had it, you know, but

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>they were very pissed off, and it just became a

0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:16.320
<v Speaker 1>humongous issue that had people from DC come interview me

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and they're doing a big investigation about it. I like

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.879
<v Speaker 1>to see you I had like somehow bribe someone or

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:26.399
<v Speaker 1>were they letting me as as a benefit, And you know,

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 1>it was like a big issue, you know, because it

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.199
<v Speaker 1>was against like I broke the rules and stuff and

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 1>all night.

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.680
<v Speaker 2>No I'm like, I'm a man, that's my wife.

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Like, if someone gets the opportunity, I'm sure it's not

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 1>the first time it's happened, it won't be alive. I

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>had other issues, you know, like they would call it

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the three Bees, The Bentley, the Baby, and the Billboards.

0:23:55.920 --> 0:24:00.359
<v Speaker 4>The twins became infamous for the three Bees. The Baby

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 4>was just the start next the Bentley.

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 1>It was a birthday, so I would have the car.

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Buying her a cardact that was like buying her buick

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 1>At that time. I had my sister in my battery

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:19.399
<v Speaker 1>helped me, you know, not at that time. She was

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 1>like trying to help me, and she understood what I

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do for her, so like, don't worry, I'll

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>take care of me, you know. To be honest, it

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 1>was stupid because my wife didn't need a better you.

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 6>Know, why did you want to buy hervetment?

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.199
<v Speaker 1>I just thought like what could I get at her birthday?

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:39.399
<v Speaker 1>You know it's coming up. I mean we had ten cars.

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean you know we had every car you could

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 1>think of it.

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 6>You got ten cars at that time.

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Still, yeah, did the government not take any of them

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 1>at that point?

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I think no, not yet?

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:55.080
<v Speaker 6>So what cause did you have?

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>We had every issue but you could think of We

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>had multiple same rain drawers, like we would buy him,

0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, two.

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Three at a time.

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 8>I had a little party for my birthday and then

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 8>they were like go outside go outside. And I went

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 8>outside and there's a big red bull on a car,

0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:19.439
<v Speaker 8>and I.

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 10>Was like.

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:30.720
<v Speaker 8>Shocked and surprised, and and yeah, I was truly missing him, Yeah,

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 8>truly missing him at that At that point, I was pregnant, emotional.

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the car didn't make no difference to me, honest,

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I was just it wasn't like what you think it

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>was at that point.

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:44.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, like we're more in need of each other

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:49.760
<v Speaker 2>than a supercar, you know. And I didn't, you know,

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 2>considering the trouble it caused me. And it goes stupid.

0:25:57.040 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>When the government discovered, like that what we did to

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 1>acquire that money, you know, that was going to turn

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:08.439
<v Speaker 1>over to them.

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:08.399
<v Speaker 6>All right, So that's why it was a problem.

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 2>No, that was just part of it.

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Like we you know, we spent the money on stuff

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:16.359
<v Speaker 1>like that, just anything that could hinder you know, you

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 1>as a credible witness.

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 10>You know.

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:20.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a bad decision.

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:22.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that was a bad decision.

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 4>The twins were moved from mcc Chicago to a different

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.439
<v Speaker 4>prison in order to help protect their identity.

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 3>They often moved prisons.

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 4>And we can't always name where they were due to

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 4>witset confidentiality.

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 3>The first two bees had caused a lot of trouble

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 3>for the.

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Twins, but it was the third b the billboards, which

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 4>happened after they moved prisons.

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 3>That was the final straw.

0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 8>One bad decision after another.

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I got the billboards, and the billboards was just a

0:26:54.520 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 1>violation of my security at the time, and yeah, they were.

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Not happy about that. We all paid the price for

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 2>that one.

0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 7>Peter I remember for Valentine's state, he wanted to put

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 7>up things to billboards, two huge billboards on the interstate,

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 7>like when you.

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:18.359
<v Speaker 6>Roll up to the visit.

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 1>That's so my intention was just a surprise and her

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 1>way home that she sees like a little token of

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>my love and appreciation for her.

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 8>And it was a It was the next exit where

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 8>the prison, where the facility was, so.

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.640
<v Speaker 1>They were not small, I guess they were like like

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 1>they had like three hundred feet across like to me,

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 1>like the huge.

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.919
<v Speaker 7>Told them and it said, Philo, marrying you.

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Was the best thing that ever happened.

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:46.439
<v Speaker 11>And it was black.

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 8>The sign was black with like big red hearts and

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:52.640
<v Speaker 8>white bright letters, so you kind of it was simple words.

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 10>It was like Mary, you was the best I love you. Yeah,

0:27:57.880 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 10>you're grateful I.

0:27:58.760 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Can't wait to spend for everyone.

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:02.199
<v Speaker 6>With the second one, yeah, it was.

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 8>They were absolutely beautiful, Like I couldn't believe. Like I

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:09.120
<v Speaker 8>I parked, I parked on the side of the highway,

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:11.119
<v Speaker 8>and I just like was just staring at them, like

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 8>in tears with my baby, and I was just staring

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 8>at them. And it was we were alone, it was

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:20.239
<v Speaker 8>we're leaving the visit and we were just there and

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 8>I was just like, look back at my babies and

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:24.399
<v Speaker 8>I was just looking at the sign, and you know,

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 8>it just.

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:25.919
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't believe it.

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 8>Like Peter's always been romantic, but I feel like this

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:33.919
<v Speaker 8>gesture was like just like really over over over at

0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 8>the top. Oh yeah, I was in tears. And then

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 8>I felt like I felt happy and then lonely, and

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 8>then I looked at my babies and I just felt

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 8>like I wanted him so, I wanted him home so bad,

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 8>and it reminded me of what I felt for him

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 8>as well. And not only did he show me what

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 8>he felt for me, I mean putting these big, two

0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 8>huge signs on the side of the highway six months

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 8>for six months, yes, so, and I looked at them

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 8>every time, and I stared at them every time, and

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 8>it just it really made my heart.

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>And I think that to be able to show her

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:16.680
<v Speaker 1>like a beware or to do something because not because

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 1>you can't, because you wanted.

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 11>To, Like it's you know.

0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:22.240
<v Speaker 1>It was one of those moments that I felt like,

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to make her feel how special she was

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to me? Well got me in trouble was that that

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 1>they made a big news.

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 10>It was on the news.

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>They like a journal I seen them, or they talked

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 1>about them, and they went out to make a story.

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I look what a husband did for his wife.

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Never imagine that the guy with dinner was in prison.

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 1>But later on I knew if the trouble was coming

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 1>when the Seals would come over to our unit and

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 1>be like.

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Who's the guy that put up the billboards?

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget where they were not they're.

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Not supposed to know you, you know.

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't put her name out there. I just

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 1>put it, you know. I looked like the man and

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, there's going to be trouble.

0:29:58.760 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 9>You know.

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 10>It was, it was It was just not for Peter.

0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say that what I thought he would have

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 1>said because of the billboards. My best friend, my brother

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 1>who had spent my whole life got transferred.

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 10>Wow, that's a little bit bigger.

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 11>Huh.

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Pete's very public declaration of love for his wife, Velo

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 4>viv Lopez changed everything. It brought along a fourth b breakup.

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 4>The twins were separated for the first time in their lives, and.

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 8>You know, we all suffered the repercussions.

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 10>We had the privilege.

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It was a privilege granted to it by a special

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:59.239
<v Speaker 1>privilege because of our cooperation. The department just allowed us

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of identical twins which were now was not

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:05.760
<v Speaker 1>it was against policy to be together.

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Should we say to give you a special approach? Sure, yeah,

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess it was.

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:10.479
<v Speaker 10>We were together.

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 2>They made an exception for us.

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 10>They made an expect exception for us and put us together.

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 12>We're not supposed to be together, and we're identical twins,

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 12>and they basically told us, don't fuck it out. We

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 12>were punkies, we were salies in the same job in prison,

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 12>and we took it for barn there. But the billboards,

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 12>where's the beginning of like something solid they had? I

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 12>guess he decaid to the bill words and they found

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 12>out and they started investigation. The whole time, they think

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 12>that because who Val is and because who I am

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 12>person I was, they kind of just said it's Ja

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 12>because there was a B on it. And I think

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 12>they're thinking be Low, because they're thinking that Jay Low vow.
