to convince that guy

that you're as heavy as he is.

And so its almost like

a dance that, you know,

he's telling you

how badass he is,

and he means it

because he's done it,

and you're countering

right back at him like,

"Hey, you're not

impressing me, man.

This is not my first job."

- From about two,

three weeks ago,

we were trying to do

the 15 pounds of meth.

That confidential source

told us that Delgado

is looking to sell

5 keys of meth,

up to 15 pounds, but obviously

that won't happen.

We're going to

take him down today.

- What's our preferred scenario?

As soon as you guys get flashed

with the drugs,

you guys are gonna

give the bust signal?

- As soon as I get

the merchandise,

I'm gonna give it to Juan,

and I'm gonna tell him,

"Cut it to see

if it's the real dope," right?

As soon as that's it, bro,

that's gonna be the signal.

- There's always

the potential for the rip,

especially if they're

not really asking for a flash.

You know what I mean?

And by the same token,

they might be thinking

the same thing.

You know, that you guys are

going to rip them off,

so they might be, you know-

Hey, you guys know

what you're doing,

so just be careful.

Did I ever dream that I would

be running a division? No.

I felt like, you know, I'll be

able to make a difference,

catch a few loads

of marijuana, cocaine,

and be a successful

law enforcement agent.

I just kind of fell

into the covertness

of federal law enforcement,

into the undercover of it.

And a lot of it

has to do with the fact

that I was from Socorro.

[upbeat Latin music]

[dog barking]

- I'm being slow.

- Yeah, I gotta clean

this cloth too.

I first met Don,

he was kind of skinny

at that point.

He's kind of ruggedly handsome,

I think.

You didn't eat those potatoes.

When we started going out,

I learned he was

a marijuana smuggler,

planeloads of it.

He was pretty forthcoming

about the different methods

that they used

to bring stuff back and forth.

He was an outlaw back then.

I had struggled trying to

make a living in agriculture.

Not here to hurt you.

There is virtually no farmer

that owns land

through conventional means

that isn't in debt

to the bank and slave to 'em.

I owed the production credit

association $800,000

at 14% interest.

It was a struggle.

So I decided to try to go to

Mexico and buy some marijuana.

I walked across the river

and loaded it

into the back of a Suburban,

and I successfully smuggled

my first load.

It was terribly amateurish,

but I got away with it.

I took that load

to a man in Plainview, Texas,

and I sold all of it

in a matter of hours.

One big sack, about 600 a pound.
