WEBVTT - Episode 7 - At The Table 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:08.760 The way the card tells run is that you have 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.319 the bosses, but then you have people right underneath them. 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:15.720 There's the everyday people. We were blessed for a personality 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.880 that chopped my or They really liked us. They liked us, 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.040 they looked at us like their sons and treats like family. 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.520 But then the underlings was it like the right people? 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:29.520 Those are the people we could sit here like you 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.360 and chap it up and say oh this whatever the cases, 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.640 they were more ruthless than then the bosses. They're a 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.400 little more rufless than the thing. Like I think my 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.480 test with the King, yeah it might be a little 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.279 more under but there the judges, you go on your 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.879 bag and independing on how if they believe you're not, 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:52.519 that's your faith. There's a difference between being part of 0:00:52.520 --> 0:01:11.080 it and being in it. We were in it, of 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.320 course St. Jackson, and I'm Charlie Webster and this is 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.560 surviving old Chapel. That's once you brought down a drug load. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.080 Pete had just been held hostage for over twenty days, 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.679 handcuffed in a tiny room, starved and left for dead. 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.880 He thought he would never see his twin brother Jay again. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.080 The kidnapping haunts Pete to this day and he still 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.280 suffers liver problems because of it. Ja managed to secure 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.480 Pete release just in the nick of time before it 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.200 was too late for Pete. But what now? They just 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.480 met the biggest drug lord in the world, l Chapo. 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.040 If it were me, I'd pick it in and leave 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.240 it all right there. But to be honest, it's not 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.520 that easy to live their life. It becomes your identity 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:07.760 and you start to gets who you are without it. 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.960 Sometimes that vulnerability makes you hold on to what you know, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:18.440 even when it's not good for you. My brother and 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.400 I never burned our names of when it came to 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:27.560 like paying people back. That mattered a lot. When ship 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:42.400 hits a fan and you're kidnap, you survived that. What 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.040 happened next? Did you think about walking away from this 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.640 and stopping this? Was that? Was that enough for you? 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.840 I'm gonna find a way out, like because facing that, 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.120 facing back down or reality of that life, Like everyone 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.560 thinks it's not gonna happened to them. If you believe that, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.120 I mean you're not still not you know, at a 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.480 level where with much importance. But eventually everyone in the 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:18.520 life suffers I'm kind of a traumatic experience. That's something 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.040 the final way of craft to find a way out 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.400 because that's done that I can't live with that much 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.320 of here that I had that you were only two 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:31.040 two and look what's happened to me? And thinking about 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.640 those regrets, like what would I regret? He started coming 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.400 to my mind about what would I regret that I 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.119 didn't do? You know, besides what I said about wanting 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.040 to be a better man, I wanted to get some 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.040 one of my best and putting my eagle to the 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.680 side and being vulnerable like you know, getting married, I said. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.560 I wanted to get married like I'm a real in 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.240 a church and the chapel somewhere. I want to do 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.280 everything correct. I want to at least you know that 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.080 my wife knew when I was a faithful husband and 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:02.600 and keeping my bed us and for everyone else thinks, 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.600 you know, like the people matter to me. I want 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.240 to be better everything, a better brother. I want to be. 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.360 It didn't ething change. I think a lot of teams changed. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.599 I got a little more serious about Mabeana and trying 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.600 to keep him my beds, putting my eagle to the side, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:25.320 like my dreamer relationships. It changed a lot of way 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:31.200 of thinking, but it didn't change my business. The scenarios 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.640 where we go through something instead of us getting like 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:35.760 every time you sure we're gonna move away, we come 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:45.000 back stronger. It's weird because it happened again. Peter healing 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:51.640 afterwards was like it was payingful to watch. We would 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.159 have to keep him in the room but the doors 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.359 closed and all the lights off, and we would have 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.440 to cover the little cry under the door because the 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.400 light would hurt his eyes because he was blindfolded. He 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.360 was just so weak. We didn't want my mother not 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:19.880 to see him, and we had to get him help, 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:25.760 medical help and just make sure like okay and stay 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:34.520 still his liver problems. But more than anything, I just 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:42.920 feel like the trauma that he went through feel like 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:54.120 a piece of hidden died. And it breaks my heart 0:05:54.160 --> 0:06:04.000 because it just changed him so much. But our life 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.800 certainly changed in so many ways after that can happen. 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.880 At first we thought it was like we probably felt 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.080 like it was a blessing. Believe or not, they get 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:26.440 nothing elevated your business. Now it's like now what to us, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.120 like we were already like scraping the ceiling of what 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.920 you actually get capable of? To me, what else could 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:39.400 you do that? Right? Still, no matter what I think, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.800 me and my brothers were still us, like we could 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.120 separate the business between who we were as as people. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:50.839 What do you mean by that? Could you say that 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.360 a lot? You say that you could, but you was 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.359 still yourselves, You still yourselves, You could separate these things. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.800 Do I feel like when it was business time it 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.680 was business time? Like I was like this certain way 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.039 and maybe my percentage the way I was. But when 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:13.240 it was like when that wasn't there, I was just normal. H. 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:20.080 I never really consider myself to be a boss, like 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.920 not a boss like that, Like I could boss people 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.200 around a lot, and I could have been bossy at times, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.559 I guess, but I never considered myself like I always 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:38.720 looked at everybody as equal as friends, equals everyone. Peter 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:43.880 came back and it was like it was just all business. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:52.520 His mentality was never again. So in a way, it 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.040 was almost like the business and focusing on business was 0:07:56.080 --> 0:08:00.560 to create that power and protection and safety and actually 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:07.040 protects safety, but it consumed him power and maybe not 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.880 ever be in a situation where we couldn't pay something 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:16.800 you couldn't. It was just like again this spiral right 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.920 going back into the psycho was just I cant understand 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:27.600 that that makes sense. Everything like he did was just business, business, 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.560 business that he wanted to stopic had just consumed him, 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:39.480 like it became his obsession, like it helped him deal 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.280 with his trumpma, just like being consumed in his work. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:49.760 And that's the way he dealt with it. His mentality 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:54.400 was like, they have to do more. They have to grow, 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.920 they have to scale their business, they have to be bigger, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.760 they have to be better, they have to be this 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:07.920 almost eight state of perfection. He micro managed everything and 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:16.040 everybody wasn't about the drugs. It was about the business 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.120 that I think he felt like it was his and 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.440 it's what we're supposed to do. And in his said, 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.360 the only way we're going to be okay and be 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.920 saved us and not have a problemise that by being 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:37.600 who we were. Now. You know, we went from being 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.400 in that position until a couple of weeks later like 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.760 now we're at the table with the biggest drugg lords 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:53.640 and they love us. And where that comes to project 0:09:53.920 --> 0:10:00.800 and protection and celebrations and a life that no one 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:07.000 could have dreamed though he's in that situation where before 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.679 it was like he was that someone's mercy and now 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:19.040 everyone said basically said kissing and I has. Basicly, I'm 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.400 not saying that they needed us. I'm just saying at 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:27.240 that point we're valuable and people are like I think 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.920 it's hard for them to understand that we are who 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:34.640 we are. We understood who we were, you know you 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.200 and both said to me that caught out. Life became 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.280 very crazy. And like I said in the beginning, I 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.360 think falling into men your idols and do the business 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.880 with him, getting the respect was everything. But with that 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:55.280 came a lot of responsibility. I think our life changed 0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:01.360 drastically overnight. I know they were like always you know, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:07.160 her business was always you know, priority, But I think 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.760 that it was just a lot and there was just 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:16.199 so many new people around us, and men and night 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.920 so much. Who's going to protect us better than the 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:27.520 biggest drug lords in the world. They welcomed using with 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:33.160 open arms. I still remember you know Mile saying, now 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:38.440 no one touches you around. My pression it was like 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:47.600 you belong to damn. It's like, no, we are them 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:52.760 and the mecca of drug lords in present time, the 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:57.920 drug lords that we know about its Chapel mile. At 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:02.680 that time, we were important ted damn. At that time 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.280 we had access two more drugs I think than anyone 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.040 else because of who we were as in our personalities, 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:16.480 how we carry ourselves, the vulnerable part of us was 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.800 able to be able to do business with different bosses 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.800 at the same time. And I think there was a 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:30.360 turning point. I think we recognized that just being there, 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.600 like they're eating no one else there that's like us, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:42.679 We're the only ones becoming the biggest cocaine suppliers or 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:47.120 distributors because the distributors for the seeing a little cartel. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.280 After my kidnapping, like I came out a different personnel. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:06.920 The things were real, and it was like here, Mexico 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:12.560 is like a whole different world than Chicago. Then, like 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.360 I looked at him in a whole different light. I 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:18.679 came out like just like knowing exactly what I really 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:24.480 wanted with all my heart. I remember just having those 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.320 raw emotions in my heart, like in my inside of myself, 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.840 like I wanted just to be good to me, Like 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.680 I just wanted to try to be genuinely good to someone, 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.920 like I had someone that deserved that my very best. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.960 So we took a walk on the beach. Yeah, so 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.040 we're taking a long walks. I'm looking for the sea 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:07.000 turtles and I got on both my knees next, you know, 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.439 I like to explain to her how seriously was that. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.960 I wanted to ask her to please be my wife 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.560 and to spend there are still her life with me, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.760 you know. And I remember like talking to like, I 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.880 don't know how long that is, but whatever it is, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:30.560 you know, I want to spend it with feutre m h. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.400 And when she was like I really like, of course 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.800 I will, you know, Like I was like no, Like 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.600 I really wanted to do it. I remember we were 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.280 like at their little moment there and you know, on 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.080 tho the stars and on the beach, and I felt 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:56.360 like there's no one wrong. Remember us rushing back to 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.560 the house and like going and called the wedding planet 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.160 and looking at the calendar. At the same time, we 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.680 looked at the kind of and we're like, what's a 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.480 good time, And then we gave ourselves like a month 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.080 and were it was like a month and a couple 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.120 of days. So we're like, I think that's the day 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:17.040 that like Saturday, and it was fun to like try 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:24.080 that went together. Getting married for the new beginning FORLS 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.040 was like really leaving all the past in the past, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.360 Like whatever happened before they was like behind us, and 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.080 that we're, you know, gonna even wanted something better, you know, 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.600 and holding no score cards and like just were he 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.680 started zero and give it a real chance, give it 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.920 a real chance to like, we're a chance to love 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.360 each other and to be there and commit to each other. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:16:03.880 I couldn't wait for the day. And then here I am, 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.800 you're making my own wedding plans, about to go get married, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:25.800 and there's a knock at the door. And we were 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.400 at our home at that time, and everyone was at 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:34.840 the hotel the day of the wedding. The makeup artist 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:42.120 they just left. I was in the room, Peter, of course, 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.200 it was any other room, and the employees were in 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:52.840 the house and there's a knock on door, and I remember, 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:57.760 I'm pretty sure the chef opened the door and he 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:02.200 comes to the hay.

They come in and one of the cops 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.800 is like the immigration agent that it worked like for 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.640 each way of the sub division of Cominium, like where 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.080 the houses were, you know, he took care of the 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.960 long work and all that.

They kind of like came in like okay, 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.840 we want to talk to you, and he's like, where 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:53.240 were the federal police. He has like a vanilla you know, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:18:00.320 file folder and he's like, look, man, oh things a 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:05.560 file for Then I see my wanton fiction. I'm like, 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:11.600 what the heck. I hear Peter, and I hear his 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.760 tone and his voice like I can sell, like just 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.120 even with the door closed, like his tone and his voice, 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.600 and I hear others speaking, but I hear Peter a 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:26.120 little bit more angered in his tone. I picked out 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.159 the door and I see, I see Peter there, and 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.600 I see the agents, and I see the chef and 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.240 I see the fowler and he has Peter and Jay's 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:42.720 wanted photo.

So I 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.480 didn't waste no all time. I grabbed like all the phones. 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.240 All the phones were in the room, so I grab 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:04.680 I was fifty phones, and I just started throwing them 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.520 out the window. And I propped myself on a vanity chair. 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:11.720 So I had my big dress and I was were 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.720 ready to go. We were so ready to wh I 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:20.280 have my shoes on, my big princess ball gown. It 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.359 was like multi layered. It was so heavy, like it 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.520 was already heavy. I put it on, and I'm just 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:31.960 like running through the room with this heavy dress. I 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.520 have my heels on and and I'm just thinking, you 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.200 know about I'm thinking, I gotta get rid of the phones, 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:43.120 and I gotta get rid of the ledgers. So I 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.359 propped myself on the vanity chair and I was just 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.639 throwing all the phones in the bush. We had like 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.760 huge bushes on the side of the house. And I'm 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.879 just like putting I'm like throwing the ledgers. I'm thinking, 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.919 like should I rip the ledgers? What should I do? 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.800 And I'm like, no, I can't do at either. And 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.760 I'm like throwing everything out the window, and I'm I'm 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:10.879 like mind you. I'm like scared. I know either he 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.040 was going to jail today or something bad was going 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:36.600 to happen. The main agent tells me, look, man, these 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:40.480 governments on the way to come and get you. I 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.280 didn't understand that. It wasn't like a little later that 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.760 most were discussing them that I didn't see that they 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.159 had a convoy of trucks out there, like it was 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:52.480 like forty trucks. Like I'm thinking, there's four guys coming in, 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:58.200 like you're out your mind. I didn't see that afterwards 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.320 that they already had the house that kind of surround 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:06.879 him and there's there, you know, either blocked me up 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:13.640 or start they're gonna leave with something. He's like, looking, man, 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:15.840 look at I'm telling you right now, you're you're going 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.359 back to the United States. The feather coming from the 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.399 marshy coming for you. And then he showed me the 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.439 phone and it's like an unavailable called the Idea, you know, 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:29.879 and he's like, that's damn calling me. And I'm like, okay, 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:31.600 so what do you want? Why are you telling me this? 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:35.200 What what do you want to do? What do you want? 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:36.920 Just tell me what you want. I'm like, now, we're 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.520 kind of like back and forth, like you're here, obviously 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.280 you're you know, you're ready to do something. What do 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.560 you want? I believe he tells me, you're like a 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.840 million and a half dollars. In my head, I'm thinking, 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:52.760 like I don't have a million dollars right And I said, 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.760 you know, to this my wedding day, like you obviously 0:21:55.800 --> 0:22:01.679 know that I'm stressed, though you know, I'm sad. At 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:06.600 the same time, it's like the worst thing that could 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:11.720 ever happen, like all our families there all this like 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:20.879 and here we're gonna go with this, like and I 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.760 remember telling him, look, man, I can't give him and 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:29.000 I have dollars right now, I said, I got some money, 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.399 you know, I got a lot of expenses. Take what 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.320 I have to give you right now, which was like 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:40.080 three or whatever it was. I said, I could give 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.679 you that. I said, and uh, I'm gonna keep the 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:44.720 rest of mine to make my expenses from my wedding. 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:51.680 If you're a patient, I could give you the rest 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:56.439 of the money. And right away he was like I 0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.800 could see him kind of get a little comfortable. They think, okay, 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.119 we're we do have a pain day. Come in regardless. 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.520 You look at the marshes are called them, they're called 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:07.760 um you know. And now I was like there are 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:09.480 tones a little more like, well, what do you want 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:14.800 to do it? Yeah, because you're wasting my time and 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:20.120 you can't give me more minutes. I can't that. I'm 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:22.440 not gonna do that. I said, take what I'm offering 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.800 you and let me go on enjoy my wedding. Man, 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.520 I said, we planned to stay for a long time 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:33.159 and my wife's upset. Don't ruin this day for me. 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.800 And he was like within like cooperating. He was like 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.600 he's looking at the other agent and he's like, yeah, 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:46.680 we can do that. How long would you need to 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:48.560 get to the money? I'm like, can you let me 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:51.239 enjoy it? Let me get through this weekend and now 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.960 we could talk, you know. I said, but what's the 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:58.239 guarantee that you're not going to take me? Like, man, 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:00.320 if I wanted to think you would have been the right. 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.399 But he's like, I'll tell you what. I'll take a 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.720 phone from you and I guarantee that, and if you 0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:13.000 have any trouble, I'm gonna help you. If I know 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:17.600 that they're coming, I'm gonna get rid of them, and 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:21.280 I was like that's fair. I keep thinking I could 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.320 I get a waste, you know, like there's no fucking 0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:31.879 way of getting away twenty thirty federal police trucks and 0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:34.640 remember we live like on the beach and there's hotels 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:36.119 next me. I'm thinking like that I get down the 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:40.600 beach and like get away. And it was like I 0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:42.199 really kind of have them there, so I was like, 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:45.399 they don't worry. I'm we're fixing it. Don't worry. It's 0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:55.560 just relaxed. My dream I knew dreams, Like I just 0:24:55.640 --> 0:25:04.560 got married. I was like shattered, like this, we're just 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.560 grabbing the money, just giving something like that, just here's 0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:14.440 the money, and them just like smiling with their eyes 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.320 at it. You know, like I think it's pretty bad. 0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:25.760 It's just kind of like okay, now, ye get the 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:38.040 funk out of here. I was mortified that if something 0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:40.680 were to happen when everybody's there, Yeah, I was scared. 0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.000 Did you think about counseling it? Because what's also crossing 0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.480 my mind is that you've got everyone in one place, 0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:55.359 so they could take you all out. I did, but 0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:58.840 I didn't, like I wasn't gonna let that one This 0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:00.560 day for me. No more like guy, I feel like 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:04.480 if they wanted to take to take, but I could 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.040 tell you again the greeting them that they wanted the money. 0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:15.359 This is common in like that's what they do. They're 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:19.000 working for some money there, They're not doing that other 0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:22.159 you know, the right thing to do. We did have 0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:26.440 a beautiful, a beautiful wedding and you know, a beautiful 0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:31.120 celebration just the whole just all the days that everyone 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:36.160 was you know, we're all together and just celebrating each 0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:38.840 other and you know, celebrating with our family and our 0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:44.439 family like truly happy for us. And then it was 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:50.119 like we had this thing this over our head the 0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:56.560 whole time. I remember just like like really like talking 0:26:56.640 --> 0:26:58.480 myself through to just let that go and just have 0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.640 a good time. I thinking about just seeing and walk 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.240 down and come around the corner and help you drive. 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:09.879 It boke me And that was emotional, right, And this 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:11.639 is someone who wants to spend the rest of my life. 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:13.119 It's the one that means the world to me. Hi 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:23.040 in such a beautiful moment, like in those moments of 0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:26.919 of joy are like truly like magnified because of so 0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:33.119 much juggling and bad moments and right I had to 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:36.760 go pick up my phones and cleaner. We're late. Yeah, 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:41.400 when I get the phone and the ledgers, and then 0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:45.000 I'm thinking to myself like, thank goodness, I didn't ripped 0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:47.800 the ledgers because that was all that they They had 0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:55.080 to all their accounting. So it was like one event 0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.520 like right after another. It was it was a wedding 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.359 and not have to move all my family form our town. 0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:10.320 And this is crazy, man. And you see the pattern, 0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:15.000 like we couldn't even we couldn't celebrate our our marriage, 0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:21.320 we couldn't honeymoon. There was just like this ugly pattern 0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:53.680 of ups and downs for us. It was clear that 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:57.440 the authorities knew exactly where the Florest family lived, so 0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:01.840 to avoid detection and further extortion, the entire family picked 0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:05.040 up and moved their lives to a different part of Mexico. 0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:09.800 This happened a lot at times. They had to just 0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:13.200 drop everything and leave at a moment's notice, with food 0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:16.200 in the fridge and clothes left in the dryer. The 0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.520 only thing they would take is family photos so that 0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.400 they couldn't be identified. It did help that money wasn't 0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:26.320 really an issue for the twins. The kidnapping might have 0:29:26.400 --> 0:29:30.000 been hard mentally, but it was a blessing for the business. 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:34.480 Jay's unexpected meeting meant that the twins were now dealing 0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:40.080 directly with Chapo himself, But first Pete had to meet 0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:45.960 the man that gave the order to kidnap him. What 0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:51.280 was the first impression when you met Chapoo at the Starstruck? 0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:53.200 I was a ners I phone to me, like, you know, 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:59.840 because you never know part of me. It was like comfortable, 0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.880 like that wasn't that whoever? I had just been released 0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.440 from my kidnapping, so it was really like why, I know, 0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:07.800 didn't want to kill me. They want to kill me. 0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.760 They would have killed me. I kind of felt that 0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:17.440 I was still like a little bit on edge, and 0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:19.720 everything makes you honage when you're there. You know. It's 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:22.920 like they all these guns and stuff for a reason. 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:28.760 I'm a future too, and I'm thinking that man, something 0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:33.920 happens here. I'm here, I'm done. So many things can 0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:40.600 go wrong, you know, one bad conversation or one bad disagreement. 0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:44.280 They said he started wars. They killed thousands of people 0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:51.400 for someone not shaking his hand. That's all. And one 0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:54.200 of my first ever like main direct vials we ever 0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.240 did with the people. I'm like, literally, we meet my 0:30:56.480 --> 0:31:00.160
