actually going on

And the interest in what we do

has gone up tremendously.

this right here

is where it starts man.

It's a group of people

coming together

Having the necessary

conversations

I've been doing this

for over four f***ing years

And I've been asking,

begging and dying

For f***ing people to come down.

And look you guys show up,

It took four years,

but you're here.

We had run-ins

two days in a row with scouts.

We've held them off,

so they're dying to get something through.

We're going to deploy

in four different spots

On four different hilltops.

We're going to show them

That we can watch

this whole area.

That's it, let's do it.

Down the road, on your right,

straight up that fence line.

That's where you want to be.

Try to stay off

the roads as much

As possible, use

the trees as cover.

See you in a couple of hours.

Be advised, it looks like

There's two scouts.

tell him to notify

as soon as he can confirm.

We got a confirmed visual.

Two scouts.

We got a scout right

there in those bushes,

Right there.

Copy.

just post up and sit.

Nothing will come through.

Copy that.

You know,

we're playing a game of hide and seek,

And we're just trying to

play with the best we can.

It's a victory even though you

don't grab the mules and the dope.

Just by stopping them

from bringing it over,

Is a small win in the battle.

The odds are stacked against us,

And we're sick

and fricking tired.

alcon, alcon, this is sierra 01.

There is cartel radio traffic

indicating possible movement

Due to the storm.

Stay alert at this time.

we won't back down,

we won't give up.

We're going to keep

pushing against the cartels.

I believe what I'm

doing is good,

And I believe what I'm

standing up against is evil.

I think that

this circle of violence has to stop.

This is a big dream,

And everybody can have

beautiful dreams.

I think I was a good

vigilante for my people,

For my town,

for my michoacn state.

But I lost my motive,

Lost the family.

And the family was the motive

To fight against criminals.

I... I think

it's my fault,

I think I'm responsible

for this situation.

This is life.

There's people

all around the world

Trying to make a difference.

They're all just like me.

They're tired.

They're tired of sitting,

they're tired of waiting.

They're tired of nobody

doing anything,

So they take the law

into their own hands.

The cycles do stop,

You just got to want

to change them.

let's go, rocko.

I left home because of the

physical and mental abuse by my father

But at one point he finally

got to meet my daughters.

And he complimented

me, and says,

"hey, they're great kids
