00:10

stands for alcohol tobacco and firearms So what am i

00:14

up to today Well today's mission which i had to

00:17

accept because well it's my job is working undercover in

00:20

operation heavy hand as an agent One of my responsibilities

00:24

is to stop the sales of illegal weapons like this

00:28

puppy Why do i do it Very question not many

00:30

people grow up dreaming about being an a t f

00:33

agent but over ninety percent of guns found at crime

00:35

scenes in mexico can be traced back to gun dealers

00:38

in the united states Well when those guns fall into

00:40

the wrong hands thousands of people die I'm not the

00:43

kind of person who could be comfortable on the sidelines

00:45

after hearing that fact i started my day by getting

00:48

into character If anyone tells you that acting classes won't

00:51

pay off well they're just wrong So i'm still trying

00:53

to find a use for those interpretive dance classes when

00:55

i'm undercover is jose barriaux I like horse races steak

00:59

dinners and shooting powerful guns into the air but real

01:03

Life tony Well he's into surfing Veggie burritos and jackie

01:06

chan movie marathons Fiercely acting classes solid investment Let me

01:10

introduce you to my partner fernando I know this guy

01:13

01:16

he can't stay awake during a jackie chan movie marathon

01:19

but i like him anyway And for those of you

01:21

who think any lazy person like fernando here it can

01:23

become an a t f agent Sorry to disappoint you

01:26

but yeah there's Some pretty intense training We go through

01:29

you're there for a few months and they teach you

01:31

everything you need to know about going undercover You know

01:34

you could probably see why poor fernando is still tired

01:36

You picked a good day to tail me Today should

01:39

be the end of our mission Because jose here is

01:42

going to sell one hundred thousand dollars worth of guns

01:44

to a mexican cartel A few months ago fernando and

01:47

i met don and pedro at a bowling alley in

01:49

tijuana They were terrible bowler but had connections with the

01:52

cartel The was targeting six months after meeting mani a

01:56

jaguar a k a the high up guy in the

02:00

cartel Yeah We finally had gained their trust Fernando even

02:03

had to kill someone to prove his loyalty Of course

02:05

We knew it was all set up by the but

02:08

well the cartel bought it in turns What would we

02:10

do without him Well we spent a long time gathering

02:12

evidence wearing wires taking pictures and keeping track of the

02:16

people we met in the organization And now well now

02:18

it's go time And yeah this kind of deal is

02:21

just as intense as you see in the movies The

02:23

transaction goes smoothly but just in case well we brought

02:27

back up it's comforting I don't want that last veggie

02:29

02:36

him load up the truck They give us the duffel

02:38

bag of cash manny's in high spirits and makes us

02:41

promised to see him again at his sister's wedding Yes

02:43

we're like a family to him Now we agree but

02:46

i can't help wonder if his sister will live stream

02:48

the ceremony so he can watch it after his arrest

02:51

in you know cell number thirteen Well here's Where the

02:53

magic happens once the truck is out of sight Fernando

02:56
