who's actually helping them?

Is it just the town's people,

or is the government involved,

Or the cartel's involved?

Even if that's true,

once they get strong enough

They'll go after

the cartels that armed them,

So I hope they kick

some ass down there.

It's the way it should

be done up here, too.

We just spent $400

on a new digital scanner.

The scouts are starting

to use encrypted radios,

So we got to beef up ours.

Holy crap!

I wonder if they're

now over here.

The scouts up on the mountains

Are pretty much like

air traffic control,

But I like to call them

drug traffic control

They are the eyes

for the guys on the ground.

If we can take the eyes

away from the cartels,

We can put a little dent

in what's happening.

do you copy there, spartan?

I sent a couple of

guys to loop down and around,

In case we flush

the scouts off the top.

roger here, it's over to you.

this is my third time

up this the f***ing thing,

And they get away every time.

So I've got a bone

to pick with these guys.

These motherfuckers.

Nailer, spartan.

go ahead.

Be advised.

Duke has 07 bodies

Camouflaged carpet shoes

in person.

f***!

Hola.

Sit down.

Mexican?

- who does?

- this guy, right here.

It's their coyote,

he's the guy in the front.

He's the one who

speaks the english.

He's the guide.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I speak english because

I working in cancun.

You know where is cancun...?

I know where cancun is.

- I working there and I speak english...

- Uh-huh.

Finish up, we can go.

I'll be up front

Anybody touches me, drop 'em.

Roger that.

Okay, let's go.

Tucson, this is clint

with arizona border recon,

I just want to let you guys know

we need an agent for transport,

We have seven

off of guemero mountain.

Nailer to spartan...

Do you think

there are other scouts?

resupply for the scouts.

the more and more

I spend time down here

I see innocent people

becoming casualties of a war

That they didn't

want any part of,

But they are stuck

right in the middle of it.

I'm not going to close my eyes,

I'm not going

to look the other way.

he's a brave man

And the time's are difficult

here in our country,

And this guy has a...

As we say in mexico

I've always had

concerns the violence in mexico

Would make it across the border,

And it's already happening.

there's been a major

new development this morning

In the border battle.

two agents have

been shot in southern arizona,

Eight miles from the border.

we've identified

25 murders, 124 kidnappings

And extortion's

that are cartel related.

It's bad down here,

I think its going

to get a lot worse.

there's a lot more people

Waking up to what's
