no. -hey mr. parker. claim satisfaction guarantee, only from allstate. it's good to be in good hands. plan was to fly down to mexico and pick up a ton of marijuana. at that age, you'd never think about what could go wrong. >> we have a fire. >> we were in serious trouble. >> this is really starting to become a nightmare.

>> i don't know how you feel about it. >> and i am thinking -- >> are they going the kill us and bury us, and this is the the end of it? >> it was a living hell. in 1972, i married my sweetheart. i had just turned 19, and i thought that i was doing the right thing at that time. my wife was pregnant and that we were going to have our first child. life was good. we didn't have much money, but you know, at that age, life is bigger than life.

life was an adventure. i smoked marijuana at that time, and who didn't back in the 1970s at 19? everybody was smokinging marijuana. it was a different era back then. you had the vietnam war going on, and it is more or less dropout turn out [ laughter ] yeah. my wife's older brother, chris, he was working with the hollywood crowd. i always looked up to him. i liked hip. he always had that sense of confident. always very sure of himself. always wanted to be like him. >> there is my little sister. hey, georgina.

jim. >> chris. >> and while we were having a drink, chris pulled me aside and he said, i need to talk to you. >> sure. >> so what is new with chris? you are a hard man to track down these days. >> and he told me that he had been flying in and out of mexico and that he had connections down there. and i said okay. >> hear me out. i have been smuggling dope. >> i was shocked and i was surprised and i couldn't believe that he would take that risk. >> why would you want to do t that? >> i am making a lot of money. >> and he said that he had been making his millions before he was 40er years old. that is why i wanted to talk to you. i need somebody to help me to fly down to mexico. >> and he goes, jim, you are the only guy i can trust. we are like brothers. >> and in a way, i kind of felt special.

e e he said it is $20,000 for one time. >> that was a lot of money back then, $20,000. >> $20,000. think about it. >> i kind of wanted to help chris out, but at the same time i was very concerned. it was a risk. but that is probably more money that i would see in five years. my wife here was pregnant and to be able to buy a new house and provide for the family. >> would you do it? >> and i thought about it. and i said yeah. >> yeah? >> yeah, why not. >> oh, come on, man. it is going to be great. >> looking back on it, it was

not a very good decision. a few days later, i met chris at the airport in las cruses. and he showed me the airplane. >> all right. >> so it was kind of exciting. the plan was to fly down to mexico and pick up 2,000 pounds of marijuana. that is a lot of marijuana. yes, it is. chris had pulled out six of the passenger seats from the fuselage. >> you see, this is the additional fuel tank. >> and he had a bladder tank that held about 5,000 gallons. >> i guess that is going to give us an extra 2,000 miles. >> the bladder tank had the range to go nonstop. >> we go to southern mexico, and

load up and fly straight back to the states. >> so less time on the ground, the less chance to be apprehended. all right. man, let's do some checks. >> and chris was not an engin r engineer, but he has been around airplanes his whole life and soy felt comfortable that he knew what he was doing. y felt comfortable that he knew what he was doiniy felt comfortw what he was doin what he was doing. chris had to pay ahead roughly $50,000, and the street value at that time, you are looking at close to half a million. >> i cannot believe that you could sell it for that. >> that and much more. [ laughter ] >> so you could see that it was very lucrative. ten hours down there, and we had a long time to think about it. you hear a lot of rumors in

mexico, and you are wondering who is down there waiting. are they going to rob you? all of these things are always running through your mind. >> let's go. pedro, good to see you, man. jim. >> my heart was pumping. and then i saw all of that

marijuana. and when we looked at it, it was very high grade, and very good marijuana, very strong. it was buds, and it was well manicured that would have a high street value, and it would sell very well in the united states. >> all right. that is good. >> all right. let's go. >> we wanted to get the plane loaded and back up into the air. because once you are in the air, you don't have to worry about getting captured. we just started to throw it inside there, and started up behind the cockpit, and worked it back towards the door. and it covered the tank.

and it filled the whole inside of the airplane. and then i asked him -- >> is this going to be okay? >> and he said, yes, jim. i have done it before. you will be okay. >> all right. >> and it left only a couple of feet below the top inside of the fuselage, and just enough room to get into the pilot chair and the co-pilot's chair. [ laughter ] >> let's get out of here. >> so flying back. it was kind of a sense of relief that we made it. we had a good product. it was a good feeling knowing that i should provide for my

wife. oh, we were probably flying for about two hours, and something didn't seem right. i could smell smoke, and then i looked back. and i could see flames flickering up. it was not the way i wanted to smoke marijuana, and i yelled at chris. " "the plane is on fire," and we realized that we had covered the pump and it overheated and caught the marijuana on fire. >> jim, put it out. >> as i grabbed it and then i realized that the thing was empty. didn't check it. it was not checked. it was not recharged.

>> there is nothing in it. we did not check it. it was total panic. >> no! >> and aviation gas is highly flammable. we were up at 10,000 feet, and no way out of the plane and you were trapped and all i could think about is that we were going to explode in midair. >> we have to put this down now, all right. >> and we were screaming at each other. we were choking, and it was hard to breathe. it was a living hell. >> we are going down. here we go. >> i remember coming down fast, and chris was saying, hold on. as we were coming over the trees you could hear the sound of the trees on the bottom of the plane. >> here we go sclam brian, i just had a quick question. brian? brian... legacy technology can handcuff any company.

but "yes" is here. you're saying the new app will go live monday?! yeah. with help from hpe, we can finally work the way we want to. with the right mix of hybrid it, everything computes. and you're about in to hit 'send all' on some embarrassing gas. hey, you bought gas-x®! unlike antacids, gas-x ® relieves pressure and bloating fast. huh, crisis averted.

♪ chris pulled me out, and we got away from the plane as quick as we could. >> run! >> it is just a matter of time that it was going to explode. we were in shock. and the plane was just totally demolished and then as we looked around, we saw that the marijuana was scattered throughout. all this marijuana that we were going to make all of this money at was now all on fire.

we were in mexico illegally and no visa and we did not file a flight plan and then we real iz ed we crashed on an island. and there's no way off of the island. that is when it really set in that we were in trouble. >> what do we do now? >> we knew with the plane being on fire, and big flames, that everybody must have seen it come down. so we thought that it was a matter of time that the military was going to be coming up, and arrest us and we were going to be busted. we had to get off of the island. >> we are going to have to swim. >> chris went into the water

first. >> are you ready? >> we didn't think that it was that far. maybe two or three miles at the most. the thing is that it is very deceiving distance over the water. as we left the island, itself, the water the was somewhat calm, but as we started swimming the current was very strong. it was taking us out to the big ocean. and then that is when we started to panic. i can't swim that well, and chris can't swim this well, and we were dehydrated and tired and then we realized that we are in trouble. i was doing everything that i could to just keep my head above water.

i knew that for me to see my wife i had to get to the mainland. and the more that i tried, i was just going farther and farther out to sea. and then i could hear chris yell there's a boat. there's a boat. and they see us. and we realize that we are going to to be saved. and what are the chances that here you are, you survive the plane crash and now you are out in the middle of the ocean, and here is a fishing boat. i definitely thought that somebody was looking after us.

when we came around, they kept on asking -- >> you are not coming from the island, no? >> we didn't want anything to do with the island or the airplane. >> our boat capsized. >> so you had nothing to do with the plane? >> we told them no, but you could tell that they were looking at us like, yeah, okay. and our clothes were all burnt and they knew. they knew what was going on. >> they took to us a little village.

we start realizing that the whole village was coming out to see what was going on. everybody was coming close to us or looking. probably a lot of them have never seen a white man before. and we could sense the energy, and it is really intense. >> well, we have to get out of here. >> it did not feel right, and so we kind of sensed that it was time to leave. so as we are trying to get away from it all. i noticed an old timer who had a hat on and a cowboy hat on and he waved it. as we continued down the street, all of the sudden --

>> chris. >> oh, no, no, no. >> and our whole heart just dropped out. i knew it was up, we were in serious trouble. they had to a a automatic weapons pointed at us. i have never had a gun pointed at me. very intimidating. it just, it was a bad, bad feeling. it didn't seem like we were driving towards any type of main road. we were getting farther and farther into the jungle, and all of these things are racing into your mine, because mexico is a military state, and you know, people do end up missing.

the truck stopped. i was just terrified. are they going to kill us and bury us and that is the end of it. >> this is where it all ends? i was thinking that i would never see my wife again. never see my parents again. is anybody ever going to know? that is when chris looked at me and he said, "this is it, jim." we were going to be killed. i am so sorry. a daily struggle,

federal prison. one of the oldest, and meanest, and dirtiest jails in mexico. you had to fight for every inch. you didn't feel safe at all. you had rapists and murderers and thieves and child molesters. the prisoners had guns. they had knives. they had alcohol. they had drugs. you could get heroin, and they had cocaine. and the guards would not come inside of the prison, because it is that dangerous.

i was thinking no, way. i cannot survive under these conditions. and not seeing the wife, knowing that she is going to be having a baby and not being there, and it was difficult. it was very difficult time. throughout the prison you had between 400 and 500 mexican prisoners and with the americans there were 12 to 15 guys. being american, you were a target. you were always being tested, and always trying to be taken advantage of.

we had to stick together, and that is the only way that we would survive. one day the americans came to me and told me that there was going to be an attempted jailbreak. everything was patrolled from up above. it was not easy to escape. and if they caught you to escape, they would have shot you. if you were caught attempting to escape, you were shot. he said, there were some americans that were going to be coming down out of las vegas. >> they are going to try to blow a section of the wall down and blow an opening to allow the americans to escape. >> you want to make sure that you prepared.

>> and you are sitting there thinking about it, and if it does happen, you want to make sure that if you do get out, you have a way to get away from there. and be ready. there's a chance that you might be able to get your freedom. >> thanks, man. >> that is very ambitious, but if i can take advantage of it and be able to escape, why would i not? there is an opportunity for you to get out of prison, and then it was up to me of how to get back stateside. we needed transportation. so knowing that i wrote a letter to my brother curt stating that if he would help me to get back to the united states.

curt came in to visit and i was just excited to see him. and we were very close. it was family, and god, i had not seen him during this whole ordeal. >> i am so sorry, that you have to see me like this, man. >> it is okay. >> i really messed up. >> after what has happened you can see your brother there to help you. it was a very, very great feeling. >> i am trying to get out of here. >> i have your vehicle. >> and he said that he'd be waiting for chris and i on the outside. >> i just want to see you home, jim. >> he would get us away from there and get us to our freedom.

>> i will never forget this. >> and you finally felt that, yes, there is hope. my big brother was there to save his little brother. chris and i discussed that it would happen the following friday. there's always an element of something going bad. is somebody going to be hurt? is somebody going to get killed? it's more complete allergy relief in a gentle mist you may not even notice. using unique mistpro technology, new flonase sensimist delivers a gentle mist to help block six key inflammatory substances that cause your symptoms. most allergy pills only block one. and six is greater than one. break through your allergies. new flonase sensimist

friday came, and we kept it amongst chris and i and a couple of americans, because we did not want people to talk. you don't want it to get spoiled by somebody telling somebody. they were going to blow up the wall right at the end of the hallway. between 5:30 and 8:30 at night. my brother curt told me that he'd be waiting for chris and i on the outside. it was kind of the waiting game. life was just as any other time, and people were sitting around playing cards and eating. they did not have a clue what was going on.

you know, chris and i were just together saying, hey, be ready. it is going to happen. you don't know what is going on, on the outside. so we were all prepared and ready to go and just waiting for the time to happen. you are thinking about freedom. you are going to get out of this hell hole. and as it got, you know, closer to 5:30, 6:30. it was really tense. is it going to happen? >> did you hear that? >> what? >> and then you could hear g gunshots firing. >> what happened wh dhappened? what happened? >> and everybody is going, what is that? what is going on?

and you know any time you hear gun fire, it is not good. it was automatic lockup. so once we got locked up, we knew, we weren't going home. something bad happened. i didn't sleep that night wondering is curt okay. did he get shot? all of this stuff was running through my mind and then you start thinking the worst. is he dead?

it was the next day and early and the prison official came up to the gate. and they start yelling my name. and they escorted me down close to the warden's office. and they locked me up in the room. they didn't say why, but curt came and visited me, and we heard gunfire and now i am locked up.

i knew that is not good. for the first, god, two the three days, no food, no water. and then the district attorney came to talk to me. >> we know that curt came and visited you. do you know anything about attempted jailbreak? >> i said no. >> about explosives? >> no. >> a police officer was killed. >> and i was in total shock. i don't know anything about it. >> where did the explosives come from? >> i don't know. >> they tortured me.

i told them that i don't know anything about murder. >> i don't know! anything about murder. i don't know! >> i was in that room, i want to think almost two weeks. there was an old wood door, so there was cracks. and i remember looking through there, and i'll never forget this. i see this american being escorted. and i'm looking at it, and i'm going -- i'm looking at it.

that's kurt. and my stomach -- i mean i can never today explain that feeling. and he turned around and looked, i could never forget that feeling. i could tell by the way he was walking he was in pain. so now everything was starting to play. attempt jailbreak, guard getting killed, and i'm just thinking this is really starting to become a nightmare. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. my psoriatic arthritis caused joint pain. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage.

it was probably about a week later, kurt and i are both released back into the main population. i mean i had felt really bad because i felt it was my fault, kurt being there. we had an opportunity where we could talk. what happened, man? he told me he was waiting on a car to drive me and chris away. >> i was waiting for the explosion. >> when the guards was getting off of work and he came around there interrupting the guys putting the explosives on the

wall. >> i killed a guard, jim. >> when he heard the gunshots, he knew he had to get away. >> they're charging me for the murder of that guard. >> i mean i had felt really bad. now kurt was with me in prison. not only locked up but he was in there for murder. >> i didn't do it. i'm not a murderer. >> sorry, so sorry. and i broke down and cried. and he told me don't worry about it, we'll be home soon.

it was a difficult time knowing that i was sentenced to five years, two months and now my brother's with me. kurt and family, and it's a tight-knit family and if anything it probably made us closer. we depended on each other. i was married to my wife for about six months when i got thrown in prison. my first child was born, i was missing all that. and that's the thing. if you think about what was going on in your life, you go

crazy. when he called our name to come up to the gate, he said you guys are getting out. and that was an unbelievable feeling just knowing we were going home. that was a great, great moment. it was the greatest feeling i had ever felt, that we knew finally after three years and surviving the plane crash, surviving being pulled out of the ocean, being tortured, being

beaten i was going home. it was a feeling -- unbelievable, unbelievable. i think what i learned from that is that decisions have consequences. and being that at such a young age we're quick to do things, not really thinking things through. unfortunately, it affected the people around me. it impacted my wife. and she went on her own way. but, you know, you pick up the pieces and you move on. just you learn that don't take

your freedom for granted and just enjoy every day you can. because your life could change in a split second. due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >> you'll see that most are really close to their moms, so that's why i call them mama's
