the if this marlon weighs more than 150 kilos, brian wally could hit the jackpot. or to do right. there's one. some a little bigger. this fish is too small at around 80 kilos. it's well under the required minimum. so the fisherman set it free to these other side has to be over 300 pounds. that was not 300 to great. great. brian wally and his crew will compete tirelessly against the other teams and the tournament in the hope of winning the $1000000.00

premiums, alcohol, if those went up and we love it, i'm gonna go check out the pool. this was exactly what's andrea was looking for, a safe and secure location. she won't have to leave for the rest of her trip. oh yeah, i will say, i don't, i mean, i definitely think that the, i know they probably put a special emphasis on safety for the resort. so i assume, and maybe this is my even me, that they will protect these type of the stablish meant, because that reputation gets out that you can't protect your guess was going to come, you know, i mean, so money is business business is money. so i definitely think that they take their safety very serious. am i going off the resource? no. me joy and pool parties are a popular true at the mexican seaside resorts, but in kava with san lucas, they are a little different. this hotel plays up the narcotic scene. the guests are

especially excited about the champagne guns. the, the hotel employee explains how to use it. the the foreign tourists know they have nothing to fear from behind the walls of their hotel. here they can play with their plastic guns in but california sewer, the locals, are the victims of the drug gangs. and the cartels are a long way from loosening their grip north carbon in

a small hotel on the outskirts of town. we met with a former dealer for there's been a loa cartel back then she worked for chapel. we'll call her patricia for security reasons. she wants to remain anonymous 3 years ago in a settling of scores with a rival cartel. patricia was shot 7 times those the spirals met right here. there were 2 bullets in my lungs, 3 over here in my arm and my shoulder. i was also shot in the throat and the bullet went in here behind my ear. it was all who will go sadly. i took another to the head, which came out here. we are. sally's patricia spent a week in a coma, but mirand loosely escaped death. the vignette loud, okay. i knew that something like this was going to happen to me sooner or later in

the city business. and it's either death or prison despite all she's been through. patricia doesn't regret having joined l capital cartel. she made lots of money in the drug trade. medical, she don't have a offered me a job. i had to be available 247. i mainly sold crystal meth as well as our purest products, which was cocaine during the 2 years in 3 months that i worked. i received commission on everything. i sold me back. i knew that call me soon. so i was able to make up to 500 euros a day to meet with you. that's around $600.00 euros for a single day's work in mexico for many, a month's salary. and contrary to official statements, this ex dealer says the st. louis cartels grip on cobble is as strong as ever use cases. he and the leaders will always be in and around cabo,

because the gringo spend lots of money. there is a lot of money and loss capital to the new in reality, drugs will never disappear. but it's a system. so even if lots of people are killed in the process, the system will remain and drugs will continue to circulate. the system is still intact, gunshots may no longer be heard echoing through the streets, but the drug trade is still booming. the cabo san lucas is home to dozens of nightclubs at night and some tours to leave their secure resorts to party. it's a lucrative market for the drug cartels. you know, why begging dealers conduct their business undisturbed outside the clubs or on the sidewalks. despite the visit a police presence, the police patrols seem to be in place more to reassure vacationers than to target

drug dealers. in the background, a dealer give some cocaine to a clever in public. if you look like a tourist dealers aren't afraid to approach and offer you drugs, we speak to a dealer working outside a well known night club. what was the problem for the police right here? i mean, i think you guys made the dealer boasts about how he bribes the cops. yeah, well, we don't have a problem. right. you want to try to like it was

it was there is no proof that the dealer is bribed the police. what is for certain is that the cartels have changed their strategies to continue working in p. we had to a working class district in san jose to cobble the cartels recruit dealers from areas like this one. there are many collateral victims of drug trafficking here every day. so coral prays for her brother alberto in front of the altar. she's built for him in her living room. april early. may i pray for my breath. please protect him. help him find the right way ever. he may be a father of 3. a barto owned

a workshop. he's also suspected of laundering the cartels money before his disappearance in april 2018. but it's horrible. not knowing what that was in. maybe he got in the wrong time, but we never found out what happened when to our family. he was nothing more than a good son, a good brother. it has and especially a good thing. we don't need to find the culprit. we don't want to know what happened with but so we just want to get a handle on making people disappear. for good is the latest strategy used by the cartels to tie up any loose ends without leaving a trace. i miss so much. even if her brother works for the cartels,

sicaro believe he deserves a proper burial, but the government won't help. what actually, what? i'm angry because the government is doing nothing. there aren't lifting a finger. none of these stories are released in the media because they don't want to jeopardize the tourist or histories more performance. i see there are lots of disappearances that the government doesn't want anyone to know about. these disappearances are also convenient for the authorities because they don't inflate the regions crime statistics every sunday. socorro goes out to meet a group of locals whose loved ones have also vanished without a trace. the

we head to the hills around last cabinets. the this is where the cartels dumped their victim's body. disposed of like trash. one body was found over here and another one just across the road as a day. at the foot of the hill, so coral joined a group of 12 volunteers who are all close to the victims ross, the group leader is president of the association for disappeared. persons in los angeles, she lost her best friend almost 2 years ago. ever since she's been in charge of the searches done over the phone today, we are focusing else on this when we search this area previously, we found a few. so we want to see if there's a mass grave around here. look,

there are still some shovels. start over there, you follow me to unearth what lies buried in these hills. the volunteers have just a few simple tools at their disposal shuttles, pick axes and long metal rods. their best resource for finding decomposing bodies. poke around and looking for anything hidden, the better than we check of it smells of dance or rod. this smells normal and so there's nothing here probably goes away. after several minutes of searching, ross and her team make their 1st grim discovery the they gave us the phone say yes, that's what i got these pieces of them up, but i guess there's no legitimate reason to find tools like this here. so we

figured they've been used to dismember people. but what does this possibly torture come up with a torture camp in the middle of nowhere in these hills? that's nothing unusual. each time the volunteers have a hunch about something they dig tirelessly. though, due to the vast amount of ground to cover their chances of finding anything are quite slim yet a little further on. they discover another clue. yes, it's a bone the bone will be sent to a lab for analysis. in the hope it might contain the d n, a of one of the missing people. final thoughts of being able to tell one of the families that we've found someone is very gratifying by someone familiar. if we get

a lisa family knows with their loved one in ski, why we don't know if i'm in the class how mission to find their loved ones, no matter the condition area. let me see on that. let me check thanks to the volunteers hard work. the authorities have already identified 500 bodies and given many families the chance to mourn in baja, california saw the cartels violence continues undeterred. the just a few kilometers away, the participants at the bid the tournament are completely oblivious to such tragedies. the wealthy here had just one thing on their mind. catching the biggest fish of the day, they hope it's going to make them even richer at

the marina, a crowd eagerly await the return of the 1st boat. it's time for the big way in the team members show off the attach and head for the scale. when bisbee tournaments host provides the commentary up to ask them how much money they've taken from us in the past. but it's been a few times for me, but i think we're good to do this. marlon is out of the running, falling short by a mere 20 kilos. now, american businessman alan stewart has returned to land. just hang on here. you got

to bring it up there. you feeling great and everything's working out. good so far. we'll see what it weighs, but we're, we feel very good in the, in the allen stewart is the final competitor of the day. when busy raises the stake. all right. 3, for 1360000000. change the the way begins.

or think me stewart days, jackpot reach me after 3 days of competition, the 39th annual bees bees, black and blue is drawing to a close. it's time to hand out the prizes. ah the ah, whether they're entrepreneur or drug lord,

it seems the world super rich have found the perfect playground in both ca, both mexico. ah ah ah. the forgotten about for a long time. at last, fabio glue and his colleagues are directing traffic again and the piazza denise the transforms into a real team. once more o d w, sometimes a cd,
