Carlos Ayala started out in the family
connection biz. Real estate in Tijuana,
3:10:27
fishing boats out of Ensenada, hydroponic
strawberries. Then he met up wth the
3:10:32
Obreg-n brothers of the Tijuana cartel.
We made a study of the customs lines
3:10:37
at the border and calculated the odds
of a search. The odds are not high.
3:10:42
We found variables to further reduce them.
-So, you pay off customs officials?
3:10:47
Well, you know, in Mexico, law enforcement
is an entrepreneurial activity.
3:10:52
Not so much in the States. Anyway,
we hire drivers wth nothing to lose
3:10:57
and throw a lot of product at the problem.
Some get stopped. Enough get through.
3:11:01
It's not difficult. This worked for years.
And it's gonna continue to work for years.
3:11:05
And NAFTA makes things even more difficult
for you because the border's disappearing.
3:11:10
In the next year or two, Mexican trucking
companies are gonna be able to go from
3:11:15
the States to Mexico and back again wth
the same freedom as UPS, DHL or FedEx.
3:11:19
It's gonna be a fuckin' free-for-all.
-So, are we on Larry King or something?
3:11:26
Shit, tell us something we don't know!.
-You guys remind me of those Japanese
3:11:30
soldiers, left behind on deserted islands,
who think World War Two is still going on.
3:11:35
But your government surrendered this war
a long fuckin' time ago.
3:11:39
I don't think all this attitude is gonna
help him any in front of a jury.
3:11:43
It's really bad attitude.
-Very bad, very bad.
3:11:47
Look, Ed, there's only one problem
wth all this math. You're in here.
3:11:54
Yeah, I got greedy, didn't I?
-Yes, you did.
3:11:58
Decided to bring a little in on my own,
and somebody tipped you off.
