00:08:49,262 --> 00:08:50,995
I mean, like I said,
that's just the reason

179
00:08:50,998 --> 00:08:52,062
I want to talk to you about it,

180
00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:53,631
because it had some comments

181
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:57,334
about you shooting it
down on Trinity river.

182
00:08:57,337 --> 00:08:59,469
You know, if it is, just
be honest with me, okay?

183
00:08:59,472 --> 00:09:02,272
You know, 'cause you
didn't put a tag on it.

184
00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:04,408
And I know you're a
big hunter, big fisherman.

185
00:09:07,814 --> 00:09:09,613
Okay. So you never
shot the alligator?

186
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:12,216
Okay. So you don't know anything

187
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:13,817
about this alligator?

188
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:17,021
Well, you have an
alligator skull or anywhere?

189
00:09:17,024 --> 00:09:18,355
You have one at your house?

190
00:09:18,358 --> 00:09:20,291
Or a hide or anything from this?

191
00:09:20,294 --> 00:09:21,759
Okay. Mind to just indulge me?

192
00:09:21,762 --> 00:09:25,095
Come by your house,
make sure it's not there?

193
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:26,897
You suppose?

194
00:09:30,504 --> 00:09:33,036
They head to the
suspect's house.

195
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:34,371
But Powell has a hunch

196
00:09:34,374 --> 00:09:36,907
that he may try
to pull a fast one.

197
00:09:42,516 --> 00:09:47,250
This guy is not going the
way he knows how to go home.

198
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:48,585
He's missing exits.

199
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,988
You know, he's going
way below the speed limit.

200
00:09:50,991 --> 00:09:52,789
He's just stalling.

201
00:09:52,792 --> 00:09:55,525
Narrator: Powell calls in
game warden wei wei lin.

202
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:56,794
Hey.

203
00:09:56,797 --> 00:09:59,596
He sends her to watch
the suspect's house

204
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:01,931
in case someone tries
to remove evidence.

205
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:03,667
Powell: Just kind of
be ready, just in case.

206
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:05,269
Okay. Sounds good.

207
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:10,541
Powell: Maybe
he'll get some gas.

208
00:10:10,544 --> 00:10:11,742
He probably has
a full tank of gas.

209
00:10:11,745 --> 00:10:14,945
And he's probably
stopping to get $3 worth.

210
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:17,948
Or he might be
trying to lose me.

211
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:19,717
Where's he going?

212
00:10:25,158 --> 00:10:27,824
Narrator: 250 miles
south of Dallas,

213
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:30,627
in the Gulf coast
port city of galveston,

214
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:33,563
commercial fishing
is big business.

215
00:10:33,566 --> 00:10:35,499
And it's the Texas
game warden's job

216
00:10:35,502 --> 00:10:37,768
to protect this
valuable ecosystem

217
00:10:37,771 --> 00:10:40,838
from illegal activity.

218
00:10:40,841 --> 00:10:42,506
Hey. No, leave your net.

219
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:44,308
I want to look at it.

220
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:47,244
Today, partners Patricia
and David vannoy

221
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:49,513
check commercial shrimp boats.

222
00:10:49,516 --> 00:10:50,514
Patricia: We met in the academy.

223
00:10:50,517 --> 00:10:53,317
And we ended up getting married.

224
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,654
So we're married.

225
00:10:56,657 --> 00:10:59,323
He doesn't treat me as
the protective husband.

226
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:01,925
He treats me just like he
would any other partner.

227
00:11:01,928 --> 00:11:03,626
Don't be shy. Tell
'em what your name

228
00:11:03,629 --> 00:11:05,328
in the... your nickname
was in the academy.

229
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:07,397
My nickname in the
academy was "tough."

230
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,835
And I think it was
just a put-on, though.

231
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,070
The game warden's job

232
00:11:13,073 --> 00:11:16,006
in the open ocean
has unique challenges.

233
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:18,475
Patricia: Being on
a boat in the Gulf

234
00:11:18,478 --> 00:11:20,010
can be extremely dangerous.

235
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:22,679
You've got to be careful
with the rigging in the boat.

236
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,481
We've also got to
be careful with the net

237
00:11:24,484 --> 00:11:27,083
and also just physically
boarding the vessel.

238
00:11:27,086 --> 00:11:28,819
Patricia: The boats
are normally moving,

239
00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:31,221
both our game warden
boat and the shrimper boat.

240
00:11:31,224 --> 00:11:33,757
One boat's coming up on a
wave, the other boat's going down.

241
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,026
And as they switch,
if we're too close,

242
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:37,360
they can hit.

243
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:38,762
Sometimes, when
the winds are high

244
00:11:38,765 --> 00:11:42,298
and it's really choppy,
it's even more dangerous.

245
00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:45,702
David: Hey! Can
you pull your net in?

246
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,105
Pull the net on that side.

247
00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:49,573
A lot of these commercial boats,

248
00:11:49,576 --> 00:11:51,241
there are objects strewn about

249
00:11:51,244 --> 00:11:53,043
that can be used as weapons.

250
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:55,579
There's knives, there's
oyster hammers, hatchets,

251
00:11:55,582 --> 00:11:58,315
um, sometimes firearms.

252
00:11:58,318 --> 00:11:59,850
Patricia: You never know
what you're gonna find

253
00:11:59,853 --> 00:12:03,119
when you jump on
any boat, honestly.

254
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:05,789
How are you?

255
00:12:05,792 --> 00:12:07,724
Narrator: The
fisherman hands Patricia

256
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:08,925
a concealed handgun license.

257
00:12:08,928 --> 00:12:11,261
Do you have it on you?

258
00:12:11,264 --> 00:12:13,663
Is it on your body?
Let's go inside the cabin.

259
00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:15,265
I just want to set it down.

260
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:17,167
Just don't reach for it.

261
00:12:25,278 --> 00:12:28,478
David: Hey! Can
you pull your net in?

262
00:12:28,481 --> 00:12:30,947
Pull the net on that side.

263
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:33,550
Narrator: On the Gulf coast
of Texas, game wardens

264
00:12:33,553 --> 00:12:36,353
Patricia and David
vannoy take no chances

265
00:12:36,356 --> 00:12:38,756
while checking a
commercial shrimp boat.

266
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:39,790
Patricia: Where's it at?

267
00:12:41,695 --> 00:12:43,360
This fisherman says
he's carrying a gun.

268
00:12:43,363 --> 00:12:45,028
Just raise your hands
up. I'm gonna take it out.

269
00:12:45,031 --> 00:12:47,898
And I'm gonna just
set it down for you.

270
00:12:47,901 --> 00:12:49,099
We're gonna just
set it over here

271
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:51,301
while I'm on the boat.

272
00:12:51,304 --> 00:12:52,970
Patricia: It's just
safer for me to have

273
00:12:52,973 --> 00:12:56,706
him distanced from his
weapon until I get off the boat.

274
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:59,442
Narrator: Game warden vannoy
checks the shrimper's gear,

275
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:02,913
including the Ted, or
turtle excluder device.

276
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:04,648
Hey, if you can, could
you lower that Ted

277
00:13:04,651 --> 00:13:06,483
so I can take a look at it?

278
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:11,855
If a shrimp net
doesn't have a Ted,

279
00:13:11,858 --> 00:13:13,924
it is an issue.

280
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:15,392
Narrator: A Ted
is sewn into the net

281
00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:17,661
so shrimp can pass
through to the caught end

282
00:13:17,664 --> 00:13:20,330
while turtles slip
out into the water.

283
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:21,865
Turtles can only hold
their breath for so long

284
00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:23,133
before they need
to come up for air.

285
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,269
So if a turtle goes
into a shrimp net

286
00:13:25,272 --> 00:13:27,137
that doesn't have a Ted,
it... It'll get caught in the net.

287
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:28,906
And it can drown.

288
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:34,077
Well, it ain't legit if it
don't have a float on it.

289
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,712
You know what I'm saying.

290
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:40,750
Here's the deal...

291
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:43,219
You are in violation
of the federal statute

292
00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:44,822
saying you have
to have a flotation

293
00:13:44,825 --> 00:13:46,489
on your bottom shooting Ted.

294
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:47,824
It's kind of a big
deal right now

295
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,025
because they're
finding dead turtles

296
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:50,093
washed up on the shore.

297
00:13:50,096 --> 00:13:51,428
So they're going
after the shrimpers,

298
00:13:51,431 --> 00:13:54,297
trying to figure out who's
not operating their Teds

299
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:55,565
properly. You know, I can see

300
00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:56,833
that you haven't
caught any shrimp today,

301
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,434
you don't have any
dead turtles on your boat,

302
00:13:58,437 --> 00:14:00,370
no turtles fell out
of your caught end.

303
00:14:00,373 --> 00:14:01,638
So what's gonna
happen from here,

304
00:14:01,641 --> 00:14:03,207
you're gonna get
a written warning.

305
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:06,776
Patricia.

306
00:14:06,779 --> 00:14:08,212
What'd you hear?

307
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:12,249
Why?

308
00:14:12,252 --> 00:14:14,011
I'm, like, the sweetest
one you'll ever meet.

309
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:19,389
You're getting a
warning today, aren't you?

310
00:14:19,392 --> 00:14:22,058
Narrator: Game warden
vannoy cuts the shrimper a break.

311
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:25,195
He gets a warning
instead of a ticket.

312
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:27,664
Patricia: There are instances
when a warning may be sufficient

313
00:14:27,667 --> 00:14:29,866
over a citation.

314
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:31,868
Narrator: The shrimper
adds a float to his net

315
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:33,603
and is back in business.

316
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,073
- See ya.
- Be safe, now.

317
00:14:36,076 --> 00:14:38,542
He said that he's
heard stories about me.

318
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:39,676
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

319
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,611
I was like, "what'd you hear?"

320
00:14:41,614 --> 00:14:44,348
He goes, "uh, heard
you were mean."

321
00:14:44,351 --> 00:14:45,682
I was like, "really?"

322
00:14:45,685 --> 00:14:48,084
David: We don't always
work as partners, though.

323
00:14:48,087 --> 00:14:50,420
There are plenty of times
where we work separately.

324
00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:52,489
But working with my
wife gets pretty neat.

325
00:14:52,492 --> 00:14:54,490
We get to share some
pretty cool experiences

326
00:14:54,493 --> 00:14:56,193
with one another.

327
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:03,599
Narrator: Near Dallas,
game warden Powell

328
00:15:03,602 --> 00:15:05,902
follows the suspected
alligator poacher

329
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:07,036
to his house,

330
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:11,641
where the man makes
an unexpected detour.

331
00:15:11,644 --> 00:15:14,644
Where is he going?
Maybe he's hungry.

332
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:16,847
He's gonna go through
Jack in the box, maybe.

333
00:15:16,850 --> 00:15:20,116
That's fine. We
got plenty of time.

334
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:21,318
He didn't want to go
through the drive-thru.

335
00:15:21,321 --> 00:15:23,386
He's on the... look, he's
on the phone right now.

336
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:25,655
He's talking to somebody.

337
00:15:25,658 --> 00:15:27,056
Narrator: Powell suspects

338
00:15:27,059 --> 00:15:29,125
the man is stalling
to give someone time

339
00:15:29,128 --> 00:15:31,261
to remove evidence
from his house.

340
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:34,131
But the game
wardens are prepared.

341
00:15:34,134 --> 00:15:37,401
Wei wei lin is on her way
to stake out the house.

342
00:15:37,404 --> 00:15:41,805
I have been a game warden
for close to two years now.

343
00:15:41,808 --> 00:15:43,740
I still consider
myself very much

344
00:15:43,743 --> 00:15:45,942
what I call a baby game warden.

345
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:48,811
And I just... I try
to soak up as much

346
00:15:48,814 --> 00:15:51,415
as I can from all these
other senior wardens

347
00:15:51,418 --> 00:15:54,017
that they've had so
much more experience.

348
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:59,022
Here he comes, right here.

349
00:16:03,229 --> 00:16:05,896
Yep. He's, uh, he's stalling.

350
00:16:05,899 --> 00:16:09,099
This is getting interesting now.

351
00:16:09,102 --> 00:16:11,501
Narrator: Game warden
lin arrives just in time

352
00:16:11,504 --> 00:16:15,038
to see a car slow roll
past the suspect's house.

353
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:23,379
I'm running the license
plate with our app.

354
00:16:23,382 --> 00:16:26,083
That was definitely a
relative that just drove by.

355
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,553
[ Cellphone rings ]

356
00:16:29,556 --> 00:16:31,654
Lin: I ran the license plate

357
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:33,657
and it comes back to a Jeff.

358
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:35,325
Jeff, that's his brother.

359
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:36,526
Okay, okay.

360
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:38,929
He... he just drove
by the house real slow.

361
00:16:38,932 --> 00:16:40,063
Just be ready. If he stops,

362
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:42,132
goes in there, take him down.

363
00:16:42,135 --> 00:16:43,533
If you take him down,

364
00:16:43,536 --> 00:16:45,001
first thing to do...
Get his phone.

365
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:46,703
Take his phone from him.

366
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:55,078
Narrator: 550 miles south,

367
00:16:55,081 --> 00:16:59,148
where the rio grande river
forms the border of Mexico,

368
00:16:59,151 --> 00:17:04,687
Texas game wardens Carmen
rickel and Luis sosa patrol by boat.

369
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:07,023
This half of the
river is Mexico.

370
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,426
This half is the U.S.

371
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:11,227
The game wardens
are on the lookout

372
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:12,829
for illegal activity,

373
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:14,030
including smuggling

374
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:17,300
or anyone breaking
Texas fish and game laws.

375
00:17:17,303 --> 00:17:21,037
Any fishing device that
is from this middle point

376
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,641
this way needs to be
legal in the state of Texas.

377
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:28,111
I see a net up ahead already.

378
00:17:28,114 --> 00:17:31,114
Gillnets hang
underwater from floats,

379
00:17:31,117 --> 00:17:32,849
and all kinds of fish, turtles

380
00:17:32,852 --> 00:17:35,852
and sharks are swept
into the net by the current.

381
00:17:35,855 --> 00:17:37,987
It's not unusual to
show up over here

382
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:39,389
and see a net stretched

383
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,791
from the Mexico
side to the U.S. side,

384
00:17:41,794 --> 00:17:44,127
basically just
trapping all this fish

385
00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:46,863
that's trying to get
in or out into the Gulf.

386
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:51,000
Often called the wall of death,
gillnets are illegal in Texas,

387
00:17:51,003 --> 00:17:55,005
punishable by
fines and jail time.

388
00:17:55,008 --> 00:17:56,740
But here on the rio grande,

389
00:17:56,743 --> 00:17:58,074
there's U.S. law

390
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,609
and then there's Mexican law,

391
00:17:59,612 --> 00:18:03,880
separated only by the
midpoint of the river.

392
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,281
Here you go.

393
00:18:05,284 --> 00:18:07,016
Rickel: We've heard stories,
you know, from game wardens

394
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:08,552
that worked way before our time,

395
00:18:08,555 --> 00:18:12,155
that they've been fighting
the gillnet wars, um, forever.

396
00:18:12,158 --> 00:18:15,491
Sosa: So they're gonna
start on the U.S. bank,

397
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:17,827
work their way towards
the middle of the river,

398
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:21,498
remove the portion of the
net that's in the U.S. waters.

399
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:25,302
You have your knife on you?

400
00:18:25,305 --> 00:18:26,769
What you probably
need is a good...

401
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:28,505
Good Texas knife.

402
00:18:28,508 --> 00:18:29,772
Aw, some awesome person

403
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:31,908
gave you all those
for Christmas, right?

404
00:18:31,911 --> 00:18:35,712
This was a Christmas gift
from, uh, my partner, Carmen.

405
00:18:35,715 --> 00:18:37,847
Hey, let's cut this
one out. It's still alive.

406
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:39,449
Put it on deck.

407
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:40,517
Okay.

408
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,919
Right there,
definition of a gillnet.

409
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:44,888
Fish is caught on his gills.

410
00:18:49,662 --> 00:18:52,061
Narrator: Drug running
and illegal border crossings

411
00:18:52,064 --> 00:18:55,599
make the rio grande a
dangerous place to patrol.

412
00:18:55,602 --> 00:18:57,667
We try to come out here
with at least two vessels...

413
00:18:57,670 --> 00:19:02,272
One vessel to pick up gear,
another vessel to provide cover.

414
00:19:02,275 --> 00:19:04,407
We've got to make sure
that we don't get tunnel vision

415
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:06,742
and just working on a net
and then not pay attention

416
00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:08,477
to what's going on
on the Mexico side.

417
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,280
So I'm kind of
head-on-a-swivel deal

418
00:19:10,283 --> 00:19:13,883
the whole time we're out here.

419
00:19:13,886 --> 00:19:16,819
Narrator: The game wardens
are pulling a second net

420
00:19:16,822 --> 00:19:20,357
when they notice a fisherman
on the other side of it.

421
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,492
Rickel: Got a body on the side.

422
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:26,830
I'm assuming it's
gonna be his net.

423
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:28,899
We don't know what
kind of person he is

424
00:19:28,902 --> 00:19:30,833
or what his intent is.

425
00:19:30,836 --> 00:19:32,902
If we do remove
some of his gear,

426
00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:36,573
he might have a weapon,
he might try something.

427
00:19:38,311 --> 00:19:40,911
We'll cover you guys.

428
00:19:40,914 --> 00:19:42,378
Rickel: Fixing
to get in a little...

429
00:19:42,381 --> 00:19:44,281
- Tug of war.
- Tugging act, here.

430
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:54,858
Narrator: Back near Dallas,

431
00:19:54,861 --> 00:19:59,062
the suspect's brother
keeps on going.

432
00:19:59,065 --> 00:20:02,065
That was definitely a
relative that drove by.

433
00:20:02,068 --> 00:20:03,867
Narrator: He may have
spotted game warden lin

434
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:07,137
parked near the house.

435
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:09,539
The poaching suspect
finally heads home

436
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:11,141
and Powell follows.

437
00:20:11,144 --> 00:20:14,711
He's actually on his phone,
so he's talking to somebody.

438
00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:19,482
Lin: He's pulling
into his driveway.

439
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:21,150
Hope he's going... oh,
he jumped right into that...

440
00:20:21,153 --> 00:20:23,753
Straight into that house.

441
00:20:23,756 --> 00:20:25,621
Narrator: Game wardens
Powell and lin attempt

442
00:20:25,624 --> 00:20:28,491
to serve their search warrant.

443
00:20:28,494 --> 00:20:29,959
Hey, Ben.

444
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:31,094
Hey, open up the door.

445
00:20:31,097 --> 00:20:33,963
We've got a search
warrant for your house.

446
00:20:33,966 --> 00:20:35,498
Hey, wei wei, go
to that front door.

447
00:20:35,501 --> 00:20:38,368
Let's get his attention.
He's not coming to the door.

448
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:41,371
Narrator: Powell can
hear the suspect inside,

449
00:20:41,374 --> 00:20:44,040
but he won't answer the door.

450
00:20:44,043 --> 00:20:46,443
Powell's concerned
that this multiple offender

451
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:48,578
may be trying to
destroy evidence.

452
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:50,246
Open up!

453
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:51,814
Hey, Ben!

454
00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:53,182
When somebody goes
in the house like that

455
00:20:53,185 --> 00:20:54,451
and won't come to the door,

456
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:56,519
I'm expecting the worst.

457
00:20:56,522 --> 00:20:57,987
Narrator: Backup arrives

458
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:01,658
and two more game
wardens surround the house.

459
00:21:05,531 --> 00:21:07,063
Hey, Ben!

460
00:21:07,066 --> 00:21:08,331
Narrator: There's no telling

461
00:21:08,334 --> 00:21:11,101
how many guns this avid
hunter has stashed inside.

462
00:21:13,138 --> 00:21:14,137
Powell: Search warrant!

463
00:21:24,183 --> 00:21:25,315
Hey, open up the door.

464
00:21:25,318 --> 00:21:27,250
We've got a search
warrant for your house.

465
00:21:27,253 --> 00:21:29,052
Narrator: Texas game wardens

466
00:21:29,055 --> 00:21:31,120
pursue a suspected
alligator poacher.

467
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:34,090
The repeat offender could
be armed and dangerous.

468
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:37,994
Powell: Search warrant!
Put the phone down.

469
00:21:37,997 --> 00:21:40,329
Put the phone down.
Come on outside.

470
00:21:40,332 --> 00:21:42,065
Why don't you come to the
door when I'm talking to you?

471
00:21:42,068 --> 00:21:43,466
- I was on the phone.
- You were on the phone.

472
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:44,868
You knew I was
coming out here, right?

473
00:21:44,871 --> 00:21:48,538
Door flew open, he
immediately put his hands up.

474
00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:50,807
He had his phone in his hand.
He was talking to somebody.

475
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:51,807
Listen, I don't know
what's happening

476
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,343
when you go in the house, okay?

477
00:21:53,346 --> 00:21:55,185
Whether you were getting
a weapon or something.

478
00:21:56,949 --> 00:21:58,347
Did you hear me
knocking on that door?

479
00:21:58,350 --> 00:21:59,949
Did you know I was coming here?

480
00:21:59,952 --> 00:22:01,884
Did you hear my
warden on this side

481
00:22:01,887 --> 00:22:04,220
and that back side? Just now?

482
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:06,889
We've been banging on the
door for the last five minutes.

483
00:22:06,892 --> 00:22:08,024
And I know there's
weapons in here.

484
00:22:08,027 --> 00:22:09,292
You're a hunter.

485
00:22:09,295 --> 00:22:12,028
You getting a
gun, assault rifle?

486
00:22:12,031 --> 00:22:14,230
Well, hey, I don't know
what's going on here.

487
00:22:17,036 --> 00:22:21,737
Whew. That was kind of
hairy there for a minute.

488
00:22:21,740 --> 00:22:23,038
My adrenaline's pumping.

489
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:25,709
In law-enforcement
work, nothing's predictable.

490
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:28,378
Anything you want
to tell me now?

491
00:22:28,381 --> 00:22:30,547
Here's your opportunity.

492
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:34,117
What was attaching you?

493
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,652
The alligator was attacking you?

494
00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:39,255
What happened?

495
00:22:39,258 --> 00:22:41,857
He turned at me and
he opened his mouth

496
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:44,861
and hissed and so I shot him.

497
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,930
I mean, what am
I supposed to do?

498
00:22:46,933 --> 00:22:47,997
Here. Take a seat right here

499
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,866
real quick for me.

500
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:52,936
Narrator: Game warden
Powell's got the first confession.

501
00:22:52,939 --> 00:22:55,505
Now he needs
the rest of the story.

502
00:22:57,744 --> 00:22:59,743
On the rio grande river,

503
00:22:59,746 --> 00:23:03,279
the game wardens battle
over an illegal Mexican gillnet

504
00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:06,415
that spans the border.

505
00:23:06,418 --> 00:23:08,351
Rickel: Fixing to
get into a little...

506
00:23:08,354 --> 00:23:12,288
- Tug of war.
- Tugging match, here.

507
00:23:12,291 --> 00:23:14,290
Narrator: One
team works their way

508
00:23:14,293 --> 00:23:15,825
to the middle of the river

509
00:23:15,828 --> 00:23:20,029
and ends the standoff
with their knife.

510
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:21,964
Sosa: You can see
the guy's just cut that net

511
00:23:21,967 --> 00:23:23,899
right in the
middle of the river,

512
00:23:23,902 --> 00:23:25,502
leaving him with
his legal portion

513
00:23:25,505 --> 00:23:27,703
in Mexican waters.

514
00:23:27,706 --> 00:23:31,373
We cannot pursue them
over to that side of the river.

515
00:23:31,376 --> 00:23:35,311
So, very difficult
to catch the violator.

516
00:23:35,314 --> 00:23:36,579
Rickel: In keeping half of it,

517
00:23:36,582 --> 00:23:39,381
we're hoping that
eventually they get the idea

518
00:23:39,384 --> 00:23:41,984
that if they just stay
on their side of the river,

519
00:23:41,987 --> 00:23:44,120
we're gonna respect that.

520
00:23:44,123 --> 00:23:46,322
You know, that might
be legal in Mexico,

521
00:23:46,325 --> 00:23:49,426
not legal in the U.S.,
not legal in Texas.

522
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:55,731
Narrator: 400 miles north,

523
00:23:55,734 --> 00:23:59,068
in the big thicket
of hardin county,

524
00:23:59,071 --> 00:24:02,672
game warden Boone's
work day is just ramping up.

525
00:24:02,675 --> 00:24:04,674
[ Cellphone rings ]

526
00:24:04,677 --> 00:24:06,676
Hello? Okay.

527
00:24:06,679 --> 00:24:09,345
I'm gonna, uh, ease
up to that main road

528
00:24:09,348 --> 00:24:11,948
and see if I can
look at that blood.

529
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:14,350
A little road-hunting
activity going on up here

530
00:24:14,353 --> 00:24:16,085
north of kountze.

531
00:24:16,088 --> 00:24:19,288
An individual saw
a place in the road

532
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:23,760
where possibly a deer or
hog had been harvested.

533
00:24:23,763 --> 00:24:27,564
Narrator: In Texas, feral hogs
are considered a nuisance animal

534
00:24:27,567 --> 00:24:29,766
and can be killed year-round.

535
00:24:29,769 --> 00:24:32,969
But deer can only be
hunted in the fall and winter,

536
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:35,171
which is several
months from now.

537
00:24:37,176 --> 00:24:38,908
Poured it all out right there.

538
00:24:38,911 --> 00:24:40,376
Mm-hmm.

539
00:24:40,379 --> 00:24:42,312
The blood is fresh.

540
00:24:42,315 --> 00:24:44,314
If it's from a poached deer,

541
00:24:44,317 --> 00:24:46,850
a serious crime
has been committed.

542
00:24:53,059 --> 00:24:55,124
Outside of Dallas...

543
00:24:55,127 --> 00:24:56,526
Powell: You have the
right to remain silent

544
00:24:56,529 --> 00:24:57,927
and not make any
statement at all.

545
00:24:57,930 --> 00:25:00,997
Powell questions the
suspected gator poacher.

546
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,132
How many alligators have
you killed in the last two?

547
00:25:03,135 --> 00:25:04,834
How many alligators
have you killed?

548
00:25:06,806 --> 00:25:09,906
Okay. Where were you?

549
00:25:12,678 --> 00:25:13,809
Did you have permission

550
00:25:13,812 --> 00:25:15,411
to be on that
property at that time?

551
00:25:15,414 --> 00:25:18,080
Okay.

552
00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:21,617
The game wardens learn the
man trespassed on private property

553
00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:25,288
and hunted without
consent, which is a felony.

554
00:25:25,291 --> 00:25:27,557
Of course he's
claiming self-defense.

555
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,893
But he had no
reason to be there,

556
00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:31,895
so what we're gonna do now is,

557
00:25:31,898 --> 00:25:33,296
uh, execute this search warrant,

558
00:25:33,299 --> 00:25:35,965
go collect our evidence,
get his computer.

559
00:25:35,968 --> 00:25:38,868
[ Whistles ] Looky there.
- Oh, wow.

560
00:25:40,973 --> 00:25:44,240
Narrator: In east Texas,
game warden Boone

561
00:25:44,243 --> 00:25:45,240
tries to determine

562
00:25:45,243 --> 00:25:47,509
what kind of animal
was killed here.

563
00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:50,780
Boone: There's a
lot of hair in here.

564
00:25:50,783 --> 00:25:52,848
Bloody enough to
know it's not a hog.

565
00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:54,117
Man: Oh, no.

566
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,250
Narrator: The amount of blood

567
00:25:55,253 --> 00:25:58,988
suggests that it was
a deer that was shot.

568
00:25:58,991 --> 00:26:01,257
No boot tracks, no nothing.

569
00:26:04,863 --> 00:26:06,128
Unh-unh.

570
00:26:06,131 --> 00:26:08,597
Well, they made a mess
out of the back of their truck.

571
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:13,603
Narrator: Boone spots a vehicle
taking off down a side road.

572
00:26:13,672 --> 00:26:15,939
Boone: [ Whistles ] Hey!

573
00:26:15,942 --> 00:26:19,408
Come here.

574
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,311
Don't make me chase
you down that road!

575
00:26:31,891 --> 00:26:34,424
Boone: Little road-hunting
activity going on up here,

576
00:26:34,427 --> 00:26:36,559
north of kountze.

577
00:26:36,562 --> 00:26:38,828
Narrator: In east Texas,
game warden Boone

578
00:26:38,831 --> 00:26:41,564
investigates a
possible deer poaching.

579
00:26:41,567 --> 00:26:43,933
No boot tracks, no nothing.

580
00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:46,635
Boone: [ Whistles ] Hey!

581
00:26:46,638 --> 00:26:50,306
Don't make me chase
you down that road.

582
00:26:50,309 --> 00:26:51,708
What's going on, guys?

583
00:26:53,979 --> 00:26:55,778
I was wondering if
y'all was gonna stop.

584
00:26:55,781 --> 00:26:56,912
How y'all getting along?

585
00:26:56,915 --> 00:26:59,382
[Bleep] Dang, you
got a houseful in here.

586
00:26:59,385 --> 00:27:00,883
What, are y'all
just out joy-riding?

587
00:27:00,886 --> 00:27:03,386
- Yes, sir.
- Y'all got any guns in here?

588
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:08,190
Narrator: Boone conducts
a plain-view search,

589
00:27:08,193 --> 00:27:10,993
but doesn't see
anything to connect them

590
00:27:10,996 --> 00:27:13,396
to the deer killed
down the road...

591
00:27:13,399 --> 00:27:15,331
No blood, deer parts or rifles.

592
00:27:15,334 --> 00:27:17,233
Lots of stuff going on
down here right now,

593
00:27:17,236 --> 00:27:20,069
and that's why I
told y'all to hold up.

594
00:27:20,072 --> 00:27:22,205
You got any cold beer
y'all drinking there?

595
00:27:22,208 --> 00:27:23,272
Pour it out if you are.

596
00:27:23,275 --> 00:27:25,408
All right. Be safe, guys.

597
00:27:25,411 --> 00:27:27,076
Man: All right.

598
00:27:28,146 --> 00:27:31,814
Boone: Mm-mm-mm.
They up to no good.

599
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:34,484
That's why they turned
around when they seen us.

600
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:37,820
[ Gunshot ]

601
00:27:37,823 --> 00:27:40,623
Narrator: A gunshot
from the other direction.

602
00:27:40,626 --> 00:27:43,292
The poachers could
still be in the area.

603
00:27:43,295 --> 00:27:44,327
Hang on.

604
00:27:47,365 --> 00:27:49,065
Yeah, I'm gonna roll down there.

605
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:59,241
At the alligator poachers' house
near Dallas, the game wardens

606
00:27:59,244 --> 00:28:02,111
search through a jumble
of hunting trophies.

607
00:28:02,114 --> 00:28:03,378
Stephens: When you walk in,

608
00:28:03,381 --> 00:28:05,848
there's deer skulls
and antlers everywhere.

609
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:08,918
There's a large aquarium
with a blue catfish in there.

610
00:28:08,921 --> 00:28:11,520
There's a smaller
alligator on the wall.

611
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:13,989
This is the one I guess
apparently he killed.

612
00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:15,758
Yeah. This is gonna be it.

613
00:28:18,931 --> 00:28:21,130
Powell: This is what the
search warrant was about.

614
00:28:21,133 --> 00:28:24,466
This is the rest of
the skull that he kept.

615
00:28:24,469 --> 00:28:26,202
Alligators are some
of the biggest trophies

616
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,537
lin: That you can get
as a hunter in Texas.

617
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:29,939
Today, it was pretty awesome

618
00:28:29,942 --> 00:28:33,142
for me to finally get a chance
to take part in a search warrant

619
00:28:33,145 --> 00:28:35,478
that involved wildlife.

620
00:28:35,481 --> 00:28:37,613
Good deal. Good job.

621
00:28:37,616 --> 00:28:39,414
Last thing he wanted
was to get the attention

622
00:28:39,417 --> 00:28:40,550
of a Texas game warden.

623
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:42,752
But he got our
attention, definitely.

624
00:28:50,295 --> 00:28:53,696
Narrator: In east Texas,
game warden Boone

625
00:28:53,699 --> 00:28:54,864
rolls up on a group

626
00:28:54,867 --> 00:28:56,632
that may be
connected to the deer

627
00:28:56,635 --> 00:28:58,033
that was killed nearby.

628
00:28:58,036 --> 00:29:00,369
What's going on, guys?

629
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:01,771
I just heard you shoot.

630
00:29:01,774 --> 00:29:03,413
I was wondering what
you were shooting at.

631
00:29:08,047 --> 00:29:11,647
The cottonmouth water moccasin
is a venomous water snake.

632
00:29:11,650 --> 00:29:13,216
Where's the dead one at?

633
00:29:15,387 --> 00:29:16,519
You're not a good shot?

634
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:19,655
Boone secures the rifle

635
00:29:19,658 --> 00:29:21,456
while he questions
the man further.

636
00:29:21,459 --> 00:29:24,093
Well, you can't be shooting
off of this county road.

637
00:29:36,007 --> 00:29:38,207
Game warden Boone
calls dispatch to see

638
00:29:38,210 --> 00:29:40,542
if the man has any
outstanding warrants.

639
00:29:40,545 --> 00:29:43,012
Hey, hey, hey. All right.

640
00:29:43,015 --> 00:29:44,213
Thank you, dear.

641
00:29:44,216 --> 00:29:45,214
He comes back clean.

642
00:29:45,217 --> 00:29:47,283
I'm gonna write you a warning

643
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:49,218
for discharging a firearm
off a public roadway.

644
00:29:49,221 --> 00:29:50,419
You can't... Can't
be shooting off

645
00:29:50,422 --> 00:29:51,420
these county roads.
- That's fine.

646
00:29:51,423 --> 00:29:52,621
With a snake or not...

647
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:54,757
But she walked over,
playing with the damn bottle.

648
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,426
Yeah. Well, like I said.

649
00:29:57,429 --> 00:29:59,028
I can understand that.

650
00:29:59,031 --> 00:30:00,696
I don't want no cottonmouth
running around me, either.

651
00:30:00,699 --> 00:30:02,297
- Hell no.
- But just don't do it again,

652
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:03,765
not off the road.

653
00:30:03,768 --> 00:30:06,435
There was a water moccasin
he could see in this high water

654
00:30:06,438 --> 00:30:08,437
that crawled up
close to his family.

655
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,506
And, you know, when there's
a big cottonmouth involved,

656
00:30:11,509 --> 00:30:12,575
I can understand that.

657
00:30:12,578 --> 00:30:15,711
So he just got a
warning citation for it.

658
00:30:15,714 --> 00:30:17,046
Narrator: Boone will
continue to search

659
00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:20,516
for the person responsible
for the poached deer.

660
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:23,652
Two days from now,
somebody may get

661
00:30:23,655 --> 00:30:24,720
a little bit of
information on it.

662
00:30:24,723 --> 00:30:26,189
And at least I'll
have the location

663
00:30:26,192 --> 00:30:28,123
of where the deer was

664
00:30:28,126 --> 00:30:30,192
and I'll be able to tie
it to a particular animal

665
00:30:30,195 --> 00:30:34,163
if I do end up finding
who has possession of it.

666
00:30:37,736 --> 00:30:42,004
Narrator: 275 miles
north in lake country,

667
00:30:42,007 --> 00:30:44,873
outside the small
city of Greenville...

668
00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:47,076
Hop in. Let's get out there.

669
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:50,612
Game warden Benny Richards
and his team start night patrol.

670
00:30:50,615 --> 00:30:53,950
- Y'all ready to have some fun?
- Yeah.

671
00:30:53,953 --> 00:30:56,752
Narrator: Since lawbreakers
often use the cover of darkness

672
00:30:56,755 --> 00:30:59,021
to hide their wildlife crimes,

673
00:30:59,024 --> 00:31:02,825
Texas game wardens work 24/7.

674
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:03,826
Richards: We're
heading down to an area

675
00:31:03,829 --> 00:31:05,827
that the locals know
this as the trestle.

676
00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:08,698
There's actually an old
railroad bed that's abandoned.

677
00:31:08,701 --> 00:31:10,099
And it's got an
old trestle on it

678
00:31:10,102 --> 00:31:11,500
and they like to go
out on that trestle

679
00:31:11,503 --> 00:31:13,969
and shoot their
guns and camp out.

680
00:31:13,972 --> 00:31:16,104
And a lot of juveniles gather
up there on the weekend

681
00:31:16,107 --> 00:31:17,773
and drink and whatnot.

682
00:31:17,776 --> 00:31:20,042
That's where I used to go
in high school, the trestle.

683
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:22,044
We went over there at frisco,

684
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:23,980
we used to say there
was a goat man in it.

685
00:31:23,983 --> 00:31:25,982
Ah, that's what everybody
had in high school,

686
00:31:25,985 --> 00:31:27,249
is they had those infamous,

687
00:31:27,252 --> 00:31:29,184
uh, creatures that
prowl around the night.

688
00:31:29,187 --> 00:31:30,652
Ours was the flute man.

689
00:31:30,655 --> 00:31:32,788
- The flute man?
- The flute man, yeah.

690
00:31:32,791 --> 00:31:34,724
I listened to many a
night to hear that flute.

691
00:31:34,727 --> 00:31:37,460
I heard a lot of, uh,
owls and whatnot.

692
00:31:37,463 --> 00:31:38,928
I never heard a flute.

693
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,798
Let's, uh, let's kill the truck

694
00:31:42,801 --> 00:31:44,901
and listen to see if
we hear anybody.

695
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,079
Look at all these
shotgun shells.

696
00:31:57,082 --> 00:31:59,081
Narrator: Shooting
from a public road

697
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:00,482
is not only against the law,

698
00:32:00,485 --> 00:32:03,486
at night, it's
extremely dangerous.

699
00:32:03,489 --> 00:32:05,887
These are fresh, Benny.

700
00:32:06,892 --> 00:32:08,423
Narrator: There's no
sign of the shooter,

701
00:32:08,426 --> 00:32:11,894
so the game wardens
check the woods nearby.

702
00:32:15,834 --> 00:32:17,499
You see something right there?

703
00:32:17,502 --> 00:32:19,235
Yeah. There's a car right there.

704
00:32:22,974 --> 00:32:25,641
Narrator: 600 miles south
on the Gulf of Mexico,

705
00:32:25,644 --> 00:32:29,244
near the border, game
warden Carmen rickel

706
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:32,848
and her team gear up
for a stealth operation.

707
00:32:32,851 --> 00:32:34,517
We'll head out
there before sunrise

708
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,852
and see what the
Gulf looks like and see

709
00:32:36,855 --> 00:32:39,655
what kind of traffic
we get out there.

710
00:32:39,658 --> 00:32:41,457
Rickel: We're clear.

711
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:44,393
The area that we're patrolling
is pretty close to Mexico.

712
00:32:44,396 --> 00:32:48,196
We're about 7 miles
north of the rio grande river.

713
00:32:48,199 --> 00:32:50,666
Narrator: Out here,
illegal shark finning

714
00:32:50,669 --> 00:32:52,335
and reef fishing are a concern,

715
00:32:52,338 --> 00:32:55,337
as well as unauthorized
border crossings.

716
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:57,807
This area is used
for illegal smuggling,

717
00:32:57,810 --> 00:33:01,544
human smuggling
or illegal narcotics.

718
00:33:01,547 --> 00:33:05,814
Narrator: Rickel navigates
while sosa captains the boat.

719
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:10,085
Game warden Wes
groth is on lookout.

720
00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:12,088
Sosa: I want to do
what we call mudding up.

721
00:33:12,091 --> 00:33:14,690
I'm gonna stick this
boat in some shallow area

722
00:33:14,693 --> 00:33:16,825
and maybe we sit
here and watch...

723
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:19,094
Watch this channel for a while.

724
00:33:19,097 --> 00:33:20,963
Rickel: They're scouts,
and they're everywhere.

725
00:33:20,966 --> 00:33:23,699
In all areas where
they can potentially

726
00:33:23,702 --> 00:33:25,234
see law enforcement

727
00:33:25,237 --> 00:33:28,236
who are operating up
and down the water.

728
00:33:28,239 --> 00:33:31,574
Anytime we see
some type of vehicle

729
00:33:31,577 --> 00:33:32,641
or people in this area,

730
00:33:32,644 --> 00:33:36,178
it's usually something
we look into.

731
00:33:36,181 --> 00:33:38,047
Narrator: Equipped
with night-vision cameras

732
00:33:38,050 --> 00:33:40,983
and goggles, this
specially trained team

733
00:33:40,986 --> 00:33:44,387
looks for any suspicious
activity on the waterways.

734
00:33:44,390 --> 00:33:45,788
It's gonna show white.

735
00:33:45,791 --> 00:33:47,189
Is your men on it?

736
00:33:47,192 --> 00:33:48,591
Yeah.

737
00:33:48,594 --> 00:33:50,525
Rickel: We're picking up light

738
00:33:50,528 --> 00:33:53,996
on the U.S. side of,
um, of the channel.

739
00:33:53,999 --> 00:33:56,131
So we're just
gonna scan and see,

740
00:33:56,134 --> 00:33:57,733
on the opposite side,

741
00:33:57,736 --> 00:34:00,936
see if we can see anybody
laying in or hunkering down,

742
00:34:00,939 --> 00:34:03,773
waiting for an opportunity
to cross the channel.

743
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:09,545
Hey, Wes, you
picking up anything?

744
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:11,947
No. Not yet.

745
00:34:11,950 --> 00:34:13,215
I almost thought
maybe I had a body

746
00:34:13,218 --> 00:34:16,552
directly to our left.

747
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:20,489
It almost looks like there's
somebody hunched down.

748
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:21,557
Right there on top of the bank.

749
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,095
That's a pickup truck crew cab.

750
00:34:26,098 --> 00:34:28,230
Oh, okay. We got bodies.

751
00:34:28,233 --> 00:34:31,967
Just one individual
sitting inside the truck.

752
00:34:31,970 --> 00:34:33,435
Could he be out here
enjoying the night?

753
00:34:33,438 --> 00:34:36,371
Yeah, maybe, but
just given the history

754
00:34:36,374 --> 00:34:38,840
of what happens here
in this area, you know,

755
00:34:38,843 --> 00:34:42,043
the potential for
smugglings is high here.

756
00:34:42,046 --> 00:34:44,847
Rickel: I've got
one heat signature

757
00:34:44,850 --> 00:34:47,650
right behind the vehicle.

758
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:53,922
Narrator: Back up north,

759
00:34:53,925 --> 00:34:57,392
the game wardens
look for the shooters.

760
00:34:57,395 --> 00:34:59,661
They spot two trucks up ahead.

761
00:34:59,664 --> 00:35:00,595
Richards: If one of y'all

762
00:35:00,598 --> 00:35:01,831
want to grab one of them trucks

763
00:35:01,834 --> 00:35:03,699
and I'll grab the other.

764
00:35:10,476 --> 00:35:11,941
How are you, sir?

765
00:35:11,944 --> 00:35:14,810
He's a fisherman
headed home for the night.

766
00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:16,545
Aw, yeah. You got
enough for a fish fry

767
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:18,681
there, don't you?
- Yes, sir.

768
00:35:18,684 --> 00:35:22,084
All right, well I appreciate it.

769
00:35:22,087 --> 00:35:24,153
Narrator: Meanwhile,
at the other vehicle,

770
00:35:24,156 --> 00:35:27,456
the game wardens make
an interesting discovery.

771
00:35:32,030 --> 00:35:33,295
All right, keep your hands
out of your pocket, partner.

772
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:34,463
What's that?

773
00:35:42,407 --> 00:35:44,472
Keep your hands out
of your pocket, partner.

774
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:45,674
What's that?

775
00:35:45,677 --> 00:35:48,610
Narrator: Near Greenville,
Texas game wardens

776
00:35:48,613 --> 00:35:51,547
find a white substance
in an unmarked bag.

777
00:35:51,550 --> 00:35:53,548
Richards: They did a little
pat down, frisk for weapons

778
00:35:53,551 --> 00:35:55,084
and found that he
was in possession

779
00:35:55,087 --> 00:35:57,419
of what we believe to
be methamphetamines.

780
00:35:57,422 --> 00:35:59,321
What'd you say this was?

781
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,559
Salt? Oh [bleep]

782
00:36:05,029 --> 00:36:08,564
Narrator: In Texas, possession
of methamphetamine is a felony

783
00:36:08,567 --> 00:36:12,635
that carries a $10,000
fine and prison time.

784
00:36:12,638 --> 00:36:14,769
Sir. Listen to me, I got
some important information

785
00:36:14,772 --> 00:36:16,038
for me you're
gonna need to know.

786
00:36:16,041 --> 00:36:17,306
You have the right to
remain silent and not make...

787
00:36:17,309 --> 00:36:19,040
I already know my
rights, okay, thank you?

788
00:36:19,043 --> 00:36:21,042
Okay, I'm gonna tell
'em to you anyway.

789
00:36:21,045 --> 00:36:22,645
You have the right
to remain silent.

790
00:36:22,648 --> 00:36:24,379
This is common for this area.

791
00:36:24,382 --> 00:36:26,649
Uh, here just in the
last couple of weeks,

792
00:36:26,652 --> 00:36:29,651
we've made numerous
arrests for this same violation,

793
00:36:29,654 --> 00:36:32,454
so we're kind of aware of
it and we're looking for that.

794
00:36:32,457 --> 00:36:34,723
He's trying to say
that, uh, it's rock salt

795
00:36:34,726 --> 00:36:37,993
that he puts on his
beer when he drinks it.

796
00:36:37,996 --> 00:36:40,662
That's kind of a new one on me.

797
00:36:40,665 --> 00:36:41,797
Has he been putting any salt

798
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,132
on any beer tonight
that you know of?

799
00:36:43,135 --> 00:36:44,667
Do y'all have any beer tonight?

800
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:45,801
There's some beer in the cooler,

801
00:36:45,804 --> 00:36:46,735
but he ain't drunk nothing.

802
00:36:46,738 --> 00:36:48,870
He hasn't drank anything?

803
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:50,752
McGee: When's the last
time you've been to jail?

804
00:36:52,543 --> 00:36:54,543
What for?

805
00:36:54,546 --> 00:36:57,946
Narrator: Richards
checks the man's priors.

806
00:36:57,949 --> 00:37:00,148
21-19, hunt county.

807
00:37:00,151 --> 00:37:03,018
[ Police radio chatter ]

808
00:37:03,021 --> 00:37:04,353
Richards: He's got a
lengthy criminal record,

809
00:37:04,356 --> 00:37:05,754
from what we've
been able to ascertain.

810
00:37:05,757 --> 00:37:08,357
Where'd you stab him at? Really?

811
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,226
Just a litany of other
offenses throughout his life.

812
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:13,829
So he was a very
dangerous subject.

813
00:37:13,832 --> 00:37:16,698
Narrator: The game wardens
search his truck for any weapons

814
00:37:16,701 --> 00:37:19,235
or additional evidence.

815
00:37:19,238 --> 00:37:21,370
Here's some more meth.

816
00:37:23,441 --> 00:37:26,508
During the arrest, the
guy was very, you know,

817
00:37:26,511 --> 00:37:28,711
became agitated
and became angry.

818
00:37:31,450 --> 00:37:33,248
Narrator: The suspect
continues to insist

819
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:34,650
the white substance is salt.

820
00:37:34,653 --> 00:37:36,852
And then he asked,
Benny, he goes,

821
00:37:36,855 --> 00:37:39,187
"yeah, why don't you
go ahead and taste that?"

822
00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:41,123
So that's pretty sorry.

823
00:37:43,795 --> 00:37:45,434
You got a pipe... You
got a pipe in there?

824
00:37:46,998 --> 00:37:48,596
Richards: Tell me about
this right here. Whose is this?

825
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:50,332
Look here. I'm gonna
ask you questions

826
00:37:50,335 --> 00:37:51,400
and you're gonna
give me answers.

827
00:37:51,403 --> 00:37:53,269
What do you use that pipe for?

828
00:37:55,540 --> 00:37:58,941
Narrator: Down in the Gulf
of Mexico, near the border,

829
00:37:58,944 --> 00:38:01,810
the game wardens suspect
a vehicle on the U.S. shore

830
00:38:01,813 --> 00:38:04,880
is waiting for smugglers
from Mexico to arrive,

831
00:38:04,883 --> 00:38:07,082
possibly with drugs.

832
00:38:07,085 --> 00:38:09,551
Oh, okay. We got bodies.

833
00:38:09,554 --> 00:38:13,822
I've got one heat signature
right behind the vehicle.

834
00:38:14,493 --> 00:38:17,293
If I get out on land
and hump it in,

835
00:38:17,296 --> 00:38:18,893
sit there and watch 'em.

836
00:38:18,896 --> 00:38:21,255
- You're just gonna be eyes.
- Yeah, I'm just gonna be eyes.

837
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:24,166
Yeah.

838
00:38:24,169 --> 00:38:25,301
We take 'em down,
we take 'em down.

839
00:38:25,304 --> 00:38:27,036
Yeah.

840
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:28,504
Narrator: Game warden groth

841
00:38:28,507 --> 00:38:30,706
heads into a vantage
point on shore,

842
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:33,108
while his team
repositions the boat

843
00:38:33,111 --> 00:38:36,378
to intercept anyone who
attempts to cross the channel.

844
00:38:36,381 --> 00:38:39,447
From their new
location, rickel and sosa

845
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:42,384
can't see their
partner or the truck.

846
00:38:42,387 --> 00:38:44,252
Groth: Just him being down here

847
00:38:44,255 --> 00:38:47,722
at this time of night just
makes it real suspicious.

848
00:38:47,725 --> 00:38:51,060
Narrator: If the person in the truck
is part of a smuggling operation,

849
00:38:51,063 --> 00:38:53,228
he may be heavily armed.

850
00:39:07,478 --> 00:39:09,211
Oh, okay. We got bodies.

851
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:13,615
I've got one heat signature
right behind the vehicle.

852
00:39:13,618 --> 00:39:16,218
Narrator: On the Gulf of
Mexico, near the border,

853
00:39:16,221 --> 00:39:18,686
Texas game wardens
spot a possible scout

854
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:20,889
on a known
drug-trafficking route.

855
00:39:20,892 --> 00:39:22,357
Could he be out here
enjoying the night?

856
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,892
Yeah, maybe. But, you know,

857
00:39:23,895 --> 00:39:27,296
the potential for
smugglings is high here.

858
00:39:27,299 --> 00:39:29,497
Narrator: Groth gets to
high ground for a better view

859
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:32,534
of the suspicious
person and his truck.

860
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:39,141
Yeah, he's not here
anymore. He's gone.

861
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:45,647
His vehicle's no longer here.

862
00:39:45,650 --> 00:39:49,317
Narrator: The quick getaway
tells the game wardens

863
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,321
the truck was likely driven
by a lookout for smugglers.

864
00:39:53,324 --> 00:39:54,790
We hope that we scared 'em

865
00:39:54,793 --> 00:39:56,792
before they were able
to complete their mission,

866
00:39:56,795 --> 00:40:00,062
which makes it a
successful mission for us.

867
00:40:00,065 --> 00:40:03,799
Narrator: Rickel and sosa pick
up their partner and resume patrol.

868
00:40:05,871 --> 00:40:09,471
Back up north, near Greenville,
game wardens question a man

869
00:40:09,474 --> 00:40:13,007
in possession of a white
powder suspected to be meth.

870
00:40:13,010 --> 00:40:14,309
What'd you say this was?

871
00:40:16,481 --> 00:40:17,880
You got a pipe... You
got a pipe in there?

872
00:40:17,883 --> 00:40:19,181
Yeah, this is a pipe right here.

873
00:40:21,553 --> 00:40:22,484
What do you use that pipe for?

874
00:40:22,487 --> 00:40:23,819
- I smoke it.
- You smoke what?

875
00:40:23,822 --> 00:40:25,153
Anything and everything.

876
00:40:25,156 --> 00:40:27,355
Anything and everything,
including methamphetamines?

877
00:40:27,358 --> 00:40:28,357
Sometimes.

878
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,625
Does she have
anything to do with this?

879
00:40:29,628 --> 00:40:30,692
No, she doesn't
know nothing about it.

880
00:40:30,695 --> 00:40:33,094
- It's all yours.
- It's all mine.

881
00:40:33,097 --> 00:40:34,896
Here's where we're at.

882
00:40:34,899 --> 00:40:37,499
Inside this vehicle we
have found substances

883
00:40:37,502 --> 00:40:38,901
that we believe to be illegal.

884
00:40:38,904 --> 00:40:42,037
As a matter of fact,
I'm just almost certain.

885
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,438
Were you aware that
it was in the vehicle?

886
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:44,973
- No.
- Huh?

887
00:40:44,976 --> 00:40:46,842
You had no knowledge of it?

888
00:40:46,845 --> 00:40:48,776
- No, I didn't.
- Okay.

889
00:40:48,779 --> 00:40:51,980
I believe that she's,
uh, not telling the truth

890
00:40:51,983 --> 00:40:53,314
as far as her involvement in it.

891
00:40:53,317 --> 00:40:55,784
But he wanted to claim
everything in the vehicle,

892
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:58,587
said it was all his,
so he's gonna be

893
00:40:58,590 --> 00:41:01,589
in custody for possession
of a controlled substance.

894
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:04,092
[Bleep]

895
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:06,061
Yeah, this is not my first rodeo

896
00:41:06,064 --> 00:41:08,397
and neither is it these
two officers' first rodeo.

897
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,598
And we know what it is,

898
00:41:09,601 --> 00:41:11,466
regardless of what
he's trying to tell us.

899
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:13,469
But we'll get it tested

900
00:41:13,472 --> 00:41:15,871
and we'll get him taken down
to the local jail and booked in.

901
