:07:00
These things we know,
but some of my people, they are not well-Educated.

:07:04
They allow themselves
to be smuggled across.

:07:08
I know, and some
of my people pay them half wages,

:07:10
Conceal them from arrest,
make them live in fear,

:07:13
And send them back
to the desert to be robbed and killed.

:07:15
Since these people work
together to break the law,

:07:18
We will work together
to enforce the law.

:07:20
You've worked with
one another before.

:07:23
Of course.
:07:24
Oh, Pablo here,
sure. We're old friends.

:07:26
We worked on
a case together

:07:28
In brownsville,
texas, years ago.

:07:29
Incidentally,
whatever happened

:07:30
To that very
pretty girl?

:07:32
She was about
20 years old--

:07:33
The one
we picked up in matamoros?

:07:34
Oh, yes. The last
I heard of her,

:07:36
She was getting
much less beautiful

:07:38
In a prison
in tamaulipas.

:07:38
Oh, I'm sorry
to hear that.

:07:39
You wish to continue
with these personal reminiscences?

:07:43
Well, this was
an awful pretty girl, senor.

:07:46
She certainly was.
:07:47
Captain, tell them
your plan.

:07:48
Well, I, um--
I intend to become a bracero.

:07:52
I will appear in mexicali
and be very impatient to come to the United States.

:07:58
I can be very impatient,
as you know.

:08:00
So things will occur,
:08:01
And when someone
approaches me to be smuggled over the border,

:08:05
Why, things will happen.
:08:06
A fellow could get
himself killed that way, couldn't he?

:08:08
Well, this is one
of the less attractive aspects of the job.

:08:12
Well, it sounds good.
:08:13
If captain Rodriguez
will smoke out that end of the situation--

:08:17
Well, what I had
in mind,

:08:18
I'll follow Pablo,
you see?

:08:20
And I'll nail down
all the contacts that he makes.

:08:22
That'll take care
of the Mexican side.

:08:24
As far as
the American side is concerned,

:08:25
I thought if
I had some illegal crossing permits

:08:27
That are numbered,
wherever they turn up,

:08:29
We've got
a complete case.

:08:30
And we may be able
to knock off both ends in the same operation.

:08:34
It's a good plan.
:08:34
Since the criminals
work in a circle, we will cover the circle.

:08:38
Uh, in case it
gets a little rugged for me,

:08:41
Who's my contact?
:08:42
Neley, the agent in charge
at Calexico.

:08:44
And if I should
get a knife in my back?

:08:47
I'll call a doctor
for you.

:08:48
[All laughing]
:08:50
Well, I guess
that's it.

:08:51
Good-Bye, sir.
:08:52
Good-Bye, good luck,
and take care of yourself.

:08:55
Thank you,
very much.

:08:56
Adios, senor.
:08:56
Adios, amigo.
Good luck.

:08:58
Thank you.
