  Speaker 1: Pirates Inc.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Is an extremely risky business. It operates in some of
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: the most dangerous countries and places in the world. Some
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: of these scenes may be reenacted due to the sensitive
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: nature of the content and to protect the individuals and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: locations involved. I heard that.

  Speaker 3: What's up, brother?

  Speaker 1: What's up, man?

• 0:30
  Speaker 1: rid of some inventory.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 1: We're going to turn this for some good money right now.
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: We've got this helicopter that's sitting in a field in Panama.
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: Panama?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: As we're flying out, all of a sudden I look
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: over and there's this big high-tension tower with no lights
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: Hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing here, man?
• 0:54
  Speaker 8: Get the back, get the back into your car.

  Speaker 2: The Pirates, another one in the bag.
• 1:00
  Speaker 9: The Pirates, another one in the bag.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I got a place called the Boneyard.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It is phenomenal. Every toy you can imagine is there.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We'll get these planes and we got to part them out.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: So we got to hang on to them until we
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: get all the parts off them that we can sell.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And then after that, we scrap them out.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Also, we got cars. We repair them there.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: We do all the re-restorations on them. We'll take anything
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: from a Lamborghini to a Viper GT500 and we'll rebuild
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: them there. Ray, my man. What's up, my brother? How
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you doing, Tony? Everything okay? Oh, brother.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Good to see you, my friend.
• 1:51
  Speaker 10: Get all this stuff over here. I'm falling over.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm busy.
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: I heard that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: All right, you got that inventory list? Yeah, I do.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I've got it ready for you.
• 1:59
  Speaker 10: Then let's get going on this, man.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So I got Ray. He's my guy there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And today I got to walk around with him and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: kind of like, we got to get rid of some inventory.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: This Volkswagen, I'm sorry we can't touch it. My daughter
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: still wants that one. She wants that and the Challenger.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: This Aston Martin, 100%, absolutely, it stays here.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: This one stays?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I don't want nobody touching this.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: No.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Man, this Viper.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You like it? This came out badass. I can't believe
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: this was that parts car.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We're going to turn this for some good money right now.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is, man, I'm shocked. You guys
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: did an amazing job. We have a bunch of old
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: cars there. I told Ray, let's do something with it
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: or let's get rid of them. But sitting here right
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: now is costing me money. Now, I got a call.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: They want the big ones up there, the fighter planes.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: They want those for a museum.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: So we got the wings for those and everything, right?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: We're going to donate them to the museum.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And what we do is we get a write-off.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good idea.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: All right, so that works out good for us.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Let's move this stuff because, you know me, I'm all
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: about the money.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right, brother?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Hey, man.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, man.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I'll make sure I take care of everything for you.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, bro.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, if you need a part, if you need an asset,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know who to speak.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: To.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know, we're pirates, but our business model is that
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we're always out venturing into new businesses.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: We're entrepreneurs.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I got this investor coming in from South Africa to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: do a couple of projects that we're looking at doing.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: One is a tequila business.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Another one's a land business, but they're coming over and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it's going to be interesting because I'm interested in hearing
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: what they have to say. And they're interested in hearing
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: what I have to offer.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to find Dr. Dave and.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: And I don't see him. I don't think that guy
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: is him. So let me text and see where's Dr.
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: Dave.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Dave, where are you? So I'm driving up. I'm picking
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: up this doctor. He's my new potential investor. And I'm
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: looking for him, and I can't find him anywhere.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I'm calling him. I'm texting him.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: I'm standing outside the Sun Lounge. The only one that's
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: standing outside the Sun Lounge is that very, very attractive woman.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: She's beautiful. Hey, I'm a gentleman. I put the window down.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, can I help you?
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Hi, are you Tony?
• 4:42
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, I saw the car there.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I was looking for you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Davies.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Davies?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I was looking for a man.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I made a boo-boo.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I thought it was Dr.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Dave.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, no problem. We've been going back all along.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: It happens all the time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 11: Don't worry.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: So who did you think was on my profile pic?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I didn't see it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Like my wife? I didn't see it. Don't worry.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: You know, when they invite my husband and I out,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: you know, they often think we're gay because it's Mr.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: and Dr. Davies. Oh! So it's just a bit 1950s,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: but it's how it is.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So tell me, Kathy, I mean, you're here, you want
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to do business, the helicopter project that you were talking about, so,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know... Well, right now, I'm just.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I'm just dying at this neighborhood. It's so beautiful.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just loving these homes.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: So you'd rather just take in this site?
• 5:38
  Speaker 12: I'm taking in Palm Beach.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Am I right? This is Palm Beach. There's West Palm,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Palm Beach.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're in Palm Beach. So first thing she would
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: like to see, you know, what Palm Beach is all about.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And hey, I love Palm Beach.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: The canopy, the trees, the beautiful, beautiful mansions. I mean,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: everything that you want.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: To see is there. So it's a great showcase.
• 6:00
  Speaker 12: Perfect.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Kathy is one of those women that love the finer
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: things of life. And let me tell you something, Palm
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Beach is not short of finer things.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: So Tony, I've come all the way here, apart from
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: seeing your beautiful abode, I'm looking for something very specific.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: We need a helicopter for trauma. and importing it straight,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: it's unaffordable for us. Right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: So getting down to business, she wants to build a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: trauma hawk unit in South Africa.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: These trauma hawks, I mean.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Value, wow, anywhere between three to five million. could be
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: invested into one of these helicopters. So this is a very,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: very lucrative investment.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Do you have such thing?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Kathy, I think I can take care of that. You do?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: They told me you were the guy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Well, we're pirates. We find it. Travahawk is a term
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: used for air rescue unit.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Basically what that is, it's a helicopter that's been converted
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to look almost like an ambulance inside. It's got a stretcher.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: It's got all of the components that you would find
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: in any emergency vehicle. And they'll fly out with this helicopter,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: land it on the road, and take a patient, say
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that's been in a severe car accident, that needs to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: get to the hospital immediately. And they'll load them in there,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and they'll have paramedics in the ambulance immediately. or in
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: this case in the trauma hawk, that will rush them
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to the hospital and get them there within that golden hour.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: What do you have? What do you have? Well, right
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: now we're looking at a couple different helicopters that would
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: fit that bill, but one in specific that I have
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to go and actually retrieve. I just happen to have
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a line on a helicopter that may fit that bill.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to overextend myself a little bit by
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: offering it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But I haven't even gone down there to get it yet.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So I kind of have to play this one a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: little bit close, but I hope I don't overextend myself.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a little bit of an operation to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: go get it. It was a seized helicopter, so I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: do have to- So is this all legal?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It's all legal.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit too good to be true. At
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the one stage, he said he had the chopper. At
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the other stage, he said he was looking at. So,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm representing a large group of people and
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: it's for a very important cause.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So I just want.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: To make sure that my ducks are in a row
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: and I'm not going to pay all this money and
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: end up with no helicopter back in South Africa.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's owned by a government.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: They need us to do some training programs for them.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: And you can show me all that paperwork?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, absolutely.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: We'll have all the documentation. Kelly handles all of that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: So Kelly will supply you with all the documentation. When
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: we deliver the helicopter to you, it will be 100% legal. Okay.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: I've got a good feeling about it. And... The chopper
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: that he says he has sounds ideal, so I'm ever hopeful.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: The million dollar, hopefully not the million dollar, but the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: big question is how much is it going to cost?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: These helicopters range in between $ 1. 5 to $ 2. 3 million.
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So when you said the million dollar question, you were
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a little shy. Yeah, yeah. They are very expensive. However.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, however, yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: What we're going to do is, because of the mission
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that it's on, I will make sure that we get
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: this to the rock bottom price, no matter what.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I love what you're doing with it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I think the fact that you're helping all these people
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: in South Africa and doing the things that you're doing
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in South Africa is amazing. I'm really, really, really excited.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: To work with you on that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: That is fantastic news.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I think we should celebrate.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I think so, too. When I deliver, she's going to see.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Anytime we have a mission like this that's involved with
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: something as technical as a helicopter of this kind, yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I go to Archangel.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: They're the experts.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Walter, and I own Archangel Aviation.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Here in Melbourne, Florida.
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: Most of the guys within the company are all past
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: military trained. I personally was not military. I came up
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: through grassroots flying, started out in hot air balloons and
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: then started flying gliders and power planes and helicopters and everything.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: And it all started when I was 13 years old.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: So I've been doing it for most of my life.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: So we primarily do defense contracting and defense logistic kind
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: of support where we're providing aircraft to alternate insertion extractions
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: for special operations groups.
• 10:36
  Speaker 13: We maintain that spirit of aviation of can do. If
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: someone presents us with a problem or a new opportunity,
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: we say, yeah, yes, we can do that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Tony! Tony!
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: What are you doing, man?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: You look like, you know, the lifestyles of the rich
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and shameless. Yeah, well, we try. I like, I know
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you guys like being up in the front of these,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: but I like being in the back.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Tony, you got to see this.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: 500 seats. So, one of my favorite model aircraft, the MD.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Absolutely gorgeous, pristine. I mean, like second to none.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It looks like a flying bubble.
• 11:12
  Speaker 13: Oh, it's an egg of safety and badassery.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Look at that. Pristine.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Whoa. It's like it's got a gold-plated engine.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: It looks like it's got a distillery in it. It's gorgeous.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: That thing looks like it makes booze. Yeah, well, it'll
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: burn it probably.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: So I sit down and I start telling them about
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: this helicopter that I found that's in Panama.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here's the deal.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: We got this helicopter that's sitting in a field in Panama,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and we have to try to figure out the logistics
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of getting there, getting it out, risk-worth reward.
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: The whole nine yards is not even worth going for.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Is it an S-76? Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: We travel in kind of the same circles with Tony
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: as far as being able to find aircraft that are
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: either distress sails or.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: That we can get good deals on.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: We've already had some feelers down there looking for it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: They don't even know they're talking to us.
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: Holy cow.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Our sources are your sources.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I wish they'd tell me to talk to you at least.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Our biggest problem is we still don't know what it is.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: We know it's an S-76. We know it's a Sikorsky.
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: So Sikorsky Helicopter builds helicopters for the military. They build UH-60s.
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: They build, which is the Black Hawk. They build Seahawks.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: They build S-92s, all kind of different aircraft. The S-76
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: was originally.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Designed for the oil company.
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: And it was made to basically run back and forth
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: to the oil rigs with 12 line.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Shoremen to be able to do the work on the
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: oil rigs.
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: It was adapted into a corporate role where you see
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: even Donald Trump actually had an S-76 Sikorsky prior to
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: becoming the president.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: But we don't know what model.
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: And that takes us from being a half a million
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: dollar helicopter to a six million dollar helicopter.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: So that's what we've got to find out.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: And honestly, until we get feet on the ground, we're.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Not going to be able to know what it is.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Depending on what this helicopter is, which really don't have
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a handle on it just yet, but it can range
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: from a nothing, meaning it's not worth doing at all,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to five million dollar payday.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: So, I mean, our biggest concern is how far apart
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: the aircraft has.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Been picked up, picked apart. The key is how they
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: strip it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 13: So if these are people with intent that are going
• 13:44
  Speaker 13: there removing components for resale on the market, then you
• 13:47
  Speaker 13: would assume that they're doing it in such a way
• 13:49
  Speaker 13: that the aircraft could be returned to service easily.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: If it's some ham-fisted.
• 13:53
  Speaker 13: Jackhole going in there dyking off connectors and sawing through structure,
• 13:57
  Speaker 13: that's a very effective thing too.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Worst case scenario, we get there, our mission cost is
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: going to be our mission cost, and We find out
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that this thing ain't worth moving. Right.
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: You know, just work the whole mission and that's it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: You know, we lick our wounds and kiss our butts
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and get the hell out of there.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: You figure it's probably going to be a couple grand
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: to go have a look-see.
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And interesting enough, I already have a contact that is
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: looking for that style helicopter in that series range for
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: a trauma hawk.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: Tony brought in the other piece of the puzzle to us,
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: the total package deal of being able to get it
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: and actually have it sold already.
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: I've been already told this thing is in a badass area.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: In the bush is what we heard.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's up in, like, no man land type deal.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Do you have a security team that we can put
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: in place down there?
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: Yep, I got our guys we're going to go in with,
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: plus I got some guys.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: In country that we're going to use.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Okay, good.
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: All right, so we're definitely going to need a good
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: security detail.
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: I'm really concerned with the security aspect of where we're going.
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: It is not a very safe area. It can be
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: very dangerous. We don't really want to spend a lot
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: of time there. Every hour that we're on the ground
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: is another hour where bad things can happen to us.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: We were already planning on doing a daytime reconnaissance. down
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: in the area.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: Again, we've got a pretty good idea where it is,
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: but to pinpoint it out. And then our intention was
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: to do a night extraction out of it. The terrain
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: that's surrounding this area is kind of a jungle environment.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: It's unpredictable.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: One of our biggest problems that we have is that
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: the people down in South America's countries, they like to
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: string power lines between trees. So there's a lot of
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: times where we won't be able to see the wire
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: and we're not seeing power poles because they're not there.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: And they actually just put a cable between trees. And
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: so that's a very dangerous environment for helicopters to be
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: operating in. So that's what my attention is going to
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: be favoring when I come in is I'm really going
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: to be looking at the different areas around where the
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: aircraft is and the obstacles and the dangers because we'll
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: be planning on coming back in at night.
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: I can make the arrangements to get it shipped.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I already checked into that.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And from where I'm getting the information little by little
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: and learning about where this is, if we get those
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: coordinates together and we get some mapping done and we
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: figure it out, it should be pretty close to a seaport.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: So it's just a matter of coordinating everything, and if
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: all the stars align, I think we might be able
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: to make this happen.
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: You have contacts to get a helicopter or something down there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I've already set it all up.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: All right, perfect. And what we'll do is you and
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I are flying together, and we'll go do the recon
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: on it, and then we'll just pull everybody else in
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: behind us.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, we can do that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: That's worked for me. Damn, I love when a plan
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: comes together.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: So we're going to go in, we're going to look
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: at it real fast, make sure we got everything, we'll
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: get the truck hooked up to it and get it gone.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: When it gets back, we'll provide, Archangel will provide the
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: labor and all of the maintenance support to get that
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: aircraft up, flying, and ready to be sold. And then
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: we'll figure out how much money we have in it,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: and then we'll split that profit.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Walter managed to get this done. Bell Ranger that we're
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: gonna fly up in. We're gonna get in there, see
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: if we can get it. If all possible, we're gonna land.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I can check it out real quick. Get back in
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and get out of here.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: Fortune favors the quick, and that's really what we have
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: to be. We've gotta be fast in order to be
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: really fortunate.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: To be able to get this aircraft in and out.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: We should be getting pretty close. All right, good going.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: All right, there's a couple other wrecks right there.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're about.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: Two minutes out.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: We're getting violent over here.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: I see a blue tail.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: You see it?
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: There she is.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You're good, dude.
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: As we were coming in, there was a house structure
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: that was near it that was a bit concerning because
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: I don't know who's home or who has guns and
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: who might not be happy that we're actually there.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: We don't know who's watching this helicopter. And if somebody's
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: watching it that is there to protect it, as we
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: come in, they can start shooting at us.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And we're unarmed, so there's nothing we can do.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Big pieces are inside i open up the doors i
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: look inside wow this thing has all the parts that
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: are missing from outside or inside so somebody has been
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: stripping this but the parts are still there.
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: It's not a trailer it was a viable s76 it
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: had most of the components there the cowlings were all
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: inside the airframe. The things that we thought were missing
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: on the outside were actually still on the inside of
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: the aircraft. So it was still, it was going to
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: be something we wanted.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Well, as we're taking off, I'm scanning the entire area,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: looking to see if anybody's coming out, if anybody's watching us.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: There are some buildings in the area, but nobody came out.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Nobody. I couldn't believe it. I figured the helicopter was
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: going to draw all kinds of attention. Nope, not a soul.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: And I was happy with that.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: So first look at the aircraft. It is a Sikorsky S-76C+.
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: It could be worth any place from $ 2. 5 to $ 3. 5 million,
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: depending on the configuration that it's in. I don't see
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: that we're going to have to put a whole lot
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: of money into it in order to get it flying.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: The risk is going to be worth the reward, and
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: this could be a huge payday.
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: So, Tony, this is where that location was right over here.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: So, same thing. We'll come up. We'll do a false insertion.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: You've got a vehicle that's going to be standing by
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: someplace over in here where you're talking about.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to stick them over there and keep
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: them on standby.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Security issues, what do you.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to have a couple guys.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: They're going to be coming in on the ground, so
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: if there is any issue, we're going to have to
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: deal with it right then and there.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: I'll be under NVG, so I'll be able to see
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: everything real, real clear there. If I catch anybody trying
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: to make moves toward anything, I will come up and
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: hover on.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Top of them if I have to.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Perfect.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: But we'll keep them suppressed. So what time do you
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: want to play?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I think Otar 30, man. We get up there about 0-1.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that way everybody's asleep. Nobody's roaming around. They might
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: hear a little noise at the helicopter. Ain't going to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: really expect anything. We can get in.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Get out, hook it up, and go.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Sounds good.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: First things first.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Let me get with my team and set everything up
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: so everybody knows what direction they have to go. So
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I got Daryl finding us a truck. I have Diesel
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: handling security.
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: Hi, my name is Daryl, retired police officer, technical fighting.
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: I've done a lot of my career, mostly on the street,
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: drug enforcement.
• 22:09
  Speaker 12: Bike patrol.
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: I've done it all on the streets is my whole career.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I was never inside.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Diesel, he's kind of a bull in a china shop, okay?
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: He believes in crash and burn all the time.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: My name's Diesel.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: I've been working with Tony on and off for a while.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: He calls me in when he needs a little bit
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: of size, a little bit of muscle, also anything on
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: or under the water. They call me Diesel because I'm
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: a machine and I'm pretty much a hard driver the
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: entire time.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: They told me I had to settle down on that.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they bring.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: Me in because I'm the bulldozer.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hit the spot, man.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: This weather's hot.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Where's Tony at, dude?
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: Oh, I text him. He's on his way.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: He's on his way?
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, cool.
• 22:55
  Speaker 12: He should be here any minute.
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: When Tony gives me a call out of the blue
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: and says, Daryl, I need you.
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: I have a mission. I know it's going to be dangerous.
• 23:02
  Speaker 12: I know it's going to be rough.
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: And I know it's going to be somewhere that's not
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: around here.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: You never know what is going to happen. It's the
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: best laid plans, right? And then it's, we just go
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: from there.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: He'd be late for his own funeral.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: I heard that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: There he is, speaking of devil.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: What's up, brother?
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: What's up, man?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Here you go.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: This is for you.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You're the man.
• 23:25
  Speaker 12: I know what you like.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I know you better know what I like. Cheers, guys.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Cheers.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get down to business. Talk to us.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: All right, here's the deal. I read it flew out yesterday.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I looked at the location where the helicopter is.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Recon's done.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Recon's done. You got the coordinates, everything I sent you.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: You got that Google Earth thing I sent you right there,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that little dirt.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Road right there alongside.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's exactly where you guys got to be. So
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: here's what's the deal. You got to get a truck
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: big enough to pull it. I don't care where you
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: get it, but you got to get it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Diesel.
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: Dude, I love you, man, but let's not kill nobody today, okay?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Come on, dude. Let me have some fun. We want
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to get in and out, okay?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Silent. In and out, yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I just want to get in and out.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Quiet. Daryl's going to be getting the transportation set up
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: for the asset, and my job is just security and overwatch.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: As the shipping agent told me, I have to get
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the paperwork to him, and we have to deliver it
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: to the gate, and.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: He'll take it from there.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: But until that helicopter is delivered to the gate of
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: that port with the paperwork.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: All bets are off.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Walter saw that helicopter.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: He went out of his mind. He said, we have
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the parts for it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: We can rebuild it.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And this thing is going to be worth millions. So
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: this is a payday for all of us.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Payday.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: You probably already have it sold.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Pretty much.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Pretty much. You know me. I got an angle at
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: every corner.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: He's ahead of the game.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm a pirate.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: If he's already got it sold, I want an advance.
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: I'm ready.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: You want an advance.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Hey, bro.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to fly out with Walter, get this
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: paperwork taken care of. And once I get that done,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I'll come back and he's probably just going to drop
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: me right where that helicopter is.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: You and Diesel get that truck sorted out. Have you
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: got any work on it? You're working on it.
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: I'm going to get you the truck. Just give me
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: some time. I'm working on it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: I will have it for you.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: But you don't have it yet.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: No.
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: I'm working on it. I'm getting it organized. I'm getting
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: the truck. I guarantee I'll have your truck, Tony.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I heard that. I'm working on it. Okay. All right.
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I'll see you over there.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Bye.
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: Bye.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: One little glitch.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I don't get the paperwork. Walter can't land. Daryl can't
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: get the thing hooked up. Diesel has a problem with
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: somebody coming there. Any one of those can turn this
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: mission into a nightmare, and we haven't even moved this
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: thing an inch.
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: Hey, buddy.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I'm about two minutes out.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I'll be there shortly.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: All right. I got the chopper all ready. We're good
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: to go.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: All right, brother. I'll be right there. I'm coming around now.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: There he is.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: Helicopters inherently are dangerous to do tactical operations during the daytime.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: So we move slower than most aircraft or we land
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: and let people out while the aircraft is sitting there running.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: We make a great target.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Hang on, Walter.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm right here.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: I want to go get a helicopter.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Let's go, brother.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Let's get this shit done then.
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: Come on.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: To be able to fly night vision goggles takes special
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: permission as well as training to be able to even
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: do it. There's only a handful of companies in the
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: country that can do it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any in Panama.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: No, nobody in Panama knows this.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: Helicopters to do tactical insertions or operations are best at
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: night where we can turn all the lights off and
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: only we can see the bad guys.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Nobody can actually see even where we are.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: When I'm sitting with him in a helicopter, I am
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: as comfortable as comfortable can be. And he's so cool
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: wearing his night vision goggles, flying this thing under night vision.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: That is like, wow, that is really impressive. Darryl and
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Diesel said that they ran into some unfriendlies going in
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: a little while ago. Darryl and Diesel already on the
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: ground in position. So that's already in place.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Towers coming up on the left.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: No lights on them either.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: That's light.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Can you see the tower?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden I look over and there's this
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: big high tension tower with no lights on. Walter's under
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: night vision, so he spots it. I don't see it
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: until right on top of it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 13: Curve lights are off.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: We're black, non-dark.
• 27:55
  Speaker 12: Measure that.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: You know, as we're coming in, Walter decides there's no
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: way we're going to be able to land exactly where
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: we did earlier, next to the helicopter.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And the reason being, it was too dangerous.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: He saw a lot of potential unfriendlies in the area,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of movement. So he figured the best thing
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: to do is drop me off further away from it,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: draw the attention in that direction, and I can make
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: my way on foot. Hey, I've done this a thousand times,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: so what the hell, why not?
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: Go get him, Tiger.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: I really just wanted to get in there very quickly.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Didn't want to make a lot of commotion. Didn't want
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: to have a lot of people looking for where that
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: helicopter went. And I just wanted to get Tony on
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: the ground, get him to where he can get plugged
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: onto that thing and get it out of there.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: And I'm getting out of there at the same time.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: You know, when you're dropped in the middle of somewhere
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: that you know nothing about, and the only thing you
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: have is a couple of coordinates to go, and you've
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: got your phone and you're looking at, you know, basically
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: a little compass, it's pretty nerve-wracking.
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Dude, you okay?
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I really think I'm lost here now. Come on, phone.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Don't fail me now.
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: Got the last messages over there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Damn, phone.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: Shit.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: All right. I think it's this way.
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: Watch out for stuff.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: In these countries... people.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Shoot first, shoot second, shoot third, and then maybe ask
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: your name. So, you know, it's very possible we can
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: get our ass capped out there without even knowing. I
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: got this cameraman I'm dragging along with me. I got
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: to watch out for him, too.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I'm nervous at this point. Hold on, hold on, hold on,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: hold on.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Man, there's too many things around here.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's a fence right there.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I remember seeing that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Let me call Daryl.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I'm making my way through the bush, and all of
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: a sudden, boom, I see this fence. I remember that
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: fence from when we landed during the daylight, and I
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: knew if I could follow that fence down, I'm gonna
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: run into where the helicopter is. Answer your phone, Darryl.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: Hello?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Where you at, dude? Where you at? I'm lost.
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: All right, I'll send you out on the GPS.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: There's a long fence line.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Are you by that?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: There is a long fence line, yes.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to come down one side, hopefully, if I
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: see you. But I think that's... I remember when we
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: came in during the day, there was this big, long
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: fence line that went there.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, there is a long fence there.
• 31:06
  Speaker 12: Just follow that fence.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: All the way down.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, cool.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm on my way.
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: All right, I'm waiting for you.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: All right, all right. Oh, there it is, yep. Holy shit,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: he's already got it hooked up to a damn truck here.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: As I'm coming down the fence line, there it is,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: that beautiful blue helicopter sitting there on that boat trailer.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: So I come up on it, and Daryl's standing there,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: pulls a gun on me. It's me.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: It's me.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, relax.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: It's me.
• 31:32
  Speaker 12: Where the fuck you been?
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Turn that light down. Turn the light off. Turn the
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: light off.
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: They're up there just a little further.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Up from us.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Where's Diesel?
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: He was here a minute ago. Tony walked up on me.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I drew it out.
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: I almost capped his ass.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Where'd you get this truck? Tony, you don't want to know.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: You don't want to.
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: I'll tell you later. We got to get out of here.
• 31:52
  Speaker 12: I got this hooked up.
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 31:54
  Speaker 12: Let's just get out of here.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to see us here.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Diesel on the way.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Well, let's make sure this thing's secure. It's not going
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: to fall off.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: That's all we needed to do is fall off on
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the damn road.
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: Come on, Tony, we gotta get out of here.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I know, I just don't want this damn thing falling off, man.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: There's even lights on the back. Did you put those
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: lights on there?
• 32:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's all ready to go.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: Let's just get the hell out of here.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: So I was sitting there, and this guy pulled up,
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: and I knew Tony wasn't gonna ever believe what happened,
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: so I hit record on my phone real quick, threw
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: it in my pocket.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, shit. What is this joker? What is this joker?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: What are you doing here, man? Hey.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Hey.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: No, no, no.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: You don't.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I don't care who it is.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Get the back.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Get the back into your car. Get back into your car.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: You're going to get back in your little car and
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: you're going to drive away.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Get back in your car and drive away.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Tony's never going to believe this shit.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: You know, I start pulling out with this thing, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: it's pretty difficult because this is long. It's a big helicopter.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: It's strapped down. I mean, I checked the straps. They're
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: pretty tight and everything, so I didn't think it was
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: going to go anywhere. I don't know what's going to happen,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: but at this point, I'm going.
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: Tony, drive a little slower.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got you.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: I got you.
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: Pulling this trailer, we know nothing about it. It has
• 33:49
  Speaker 11: a helicopter on it. It looks like it's a piece
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: of shit anyways. And Tony's hauling ass down the road
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: with it. And I'm trying to tell him to slow
• 33:55
  Speaker 11: down a little.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: How did you end up with this truck?
• 33:58
  Speaker 12: You're not going to believe this. I went to this
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: hole-in-the-wall place for rental, for trucks.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:04
  Speaker 12: Paid for it. Guy sends me out there to go
• 34:07
  Speaker 12: pick up the truck.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: There was a.
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: a beige-colored truck out there. I walk out. I walk
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: out there. I'm looking at it. I'm going, this thing
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: is not going to work. There's no way it's going
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: to pull this thing. A little further down is this
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: truck sitting there. I go, this is perfect. This will work.
• 34:22
  Speaker 12: And the keys were in it. So I just hopped
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: in and I took it. I rented a truck. I
• 34:26
  Speaker 12: may have grabbed the wrong one, but I rented it.
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: I have no time to wait. We got to get
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: this thing done.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: All right, well, let Diesel bring it back.
• 34:32
  Speaker 12: Yeah, let him deal with it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, I can't believe it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: We're here.
• 34:38
  Speaker 12: Come on over more.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Here you go.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: You got it.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Good? Yep.
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: We just got the chopper back. We're back in the marina.
• 34:51
  Speaker 12: Thank God. What a freaking night. This was all night
• 34:54
  Speaker 12: for this job.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: So they'll load it onto the flat rack. They'll get
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: it out onto the boat. That boat maybe once every
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: three weeks comes here, and we lucked out. But I
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: already got my agent who's going to handle this.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: He said, no problem. Just drop it off there.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: As soon as it's there, they'll take care of everything
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: from here. Well, operation went well i got messages from
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: diesel everything's cool there he's okay daryl and i we
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: got the truck i told him to get it back
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: to wherever he had to get it back to so
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: we're ready to wrap up and get the hell out
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: of here they're gonna come over i guess they'll disconnect
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: it and do what they have to do but right now.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Let's get the hell out of here i know let's
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: get out of here Thank you, Jesus.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Ka-ching.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we did our part. We got the
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: helicopter here. So now, Walt, Archangel, it's all up to
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: you guys. You know, it's been about a week and
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: a half. So I got to get up there and
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I got to take a look at this helicopter and
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: see where it's at. Because the last time I saw it,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: it was nothing but a skeleton.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: How much more time do you think we're gonna have?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Do we able to find the interior for it?
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Good. What's up, dude?
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: Hey, man.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: How you doing, buddy?
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Good, man.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: You doing good? Where are you flying? You're always in
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: your flights. I know.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I'm busy. Busy, busy, busy.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: They got landing gear on this thing already.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: They got everything kind of cleaned up inside and are
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: moving stuff around. They're starting to put it back together.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: She's all coming together.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: No, I can't believe this.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Tell me about it. Hey, what's up, guys? Wow, this
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: thing is really coming back together.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I can't believe this.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: This don't look like nothing like it was out in
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: the field there.
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: Now we're going to get the interior put back into it.
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: We've got a few other bits and pieces, then we're
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: going to paint it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Wow. Man, we landed in that field.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I jumped out.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: We looked at this thing. It was just a shell.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: This is impressive, dude. I'm impressed. Walter said when he
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: saw this in Panama, we definitely could put it back together.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: This helicopter, we have the parts for it, and we
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: can make this happen. And here it is.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: First thing we had to do was get a landing
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: gear underneath the aircraft so that we could actually get
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: it mobile and start moving it around. We were able
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: to find a Sikorsky S-76 landing gear.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: We got it installed. It's all put in there, and
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: it worked really, really well.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: Next thing we did is we overhauled the gearboxes and
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: the engines. Those have all been reinserted into it. We're
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: in the process right now, the guys up there are
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: working on the rotor head, which they're gonna get reassembled
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: and put together so we can get this thing starting
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: to turn. We'll have an interior that we're gonna put
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: back into it. It'll just have basic seats that'll actually
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: be up and across there because they're gonna put a
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: medevac interior into it eventually. We also ended up getting
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: the avionics situated. to where we've got all the EFIS
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: screens and everything all put back in. It has been
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: powered up. It does actually work pretty well. They were
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: doing some seat stuff, which is why those are out
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: right now. But also all the center pedestals, all of
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: that's been all put back.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Together on the aircraft.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: How long?
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: That's just what I was asking the boys up there,
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: but they're not giving me a clear answer just yet.
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: But I'm thinking maybe 30 days.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Here's the deal.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: We have a buyer because there was a doctor that
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: came in. She's a plastic surgeon and she does a
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: lot of work in South Africa with injured kids, especially,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. A lot of burn victims and
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: just that. And they want to put together a trauma
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: hawk like we have here in the States. And she
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: was asking me about Can I find her a helicopter?
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: And ironically, we found one.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: We found one.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: There it is. And they're going to do the reconfiguration
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: out there. So once it's delivered, we're completely done. Perfect.
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: We got a 30-day clock, so I got to get
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: back to work.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: We got 15 days to go.
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: We've got the aircraft primarily taped up. Now it's getting
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: close for paint. We've got our cockpit all put back together.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: It's getting really close.
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: The overhead part of the bi-filers and all the other
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: parts of the rotor head are all put back together
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: and it's all looking really good.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I think we're going to make our time.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: So I get a call from Walt. He says, you
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: got to get over here now. You got to see
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: this thing.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Is it ready?
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's ready. I can't believe it. I'm so excited, man.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I'm racing up to Milburn. I got to go check
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: this thing out.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: But Tony, you spared no expense on this restoration, my friend.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I can imagine.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: So where is this bird at?
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: You don't see it?
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Next thing you know, I'm looking at a couple of
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: helicopters on the side there. The helicopter's right in front
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: of me. I don't recognize it. Holy cow. Get out
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: of here.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I can't believe this is it.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: This is it. Man, this thing is awesome. Look at this.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't even recognize it.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: 30 days.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: It's what we do.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. Look at this. Open it up inside. The
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: whole cockpit is perfect. Look in the back. All the
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: seats are in. This thing is rigged and ready to go.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: We completely went through the whole helicopter. Right.
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: We went through and put in all new avionics into
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: it and new interior put into it. We did paint,
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: we did the blades, the gearboxes, everything. It's like a
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: brand new helicopter now.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I can't believe this. I really can't believe this. Wow.
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: Most helicopters, you always want to exit to the front
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: of the aircraft or 90 degrees out the side. We
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: don't ever go backwards in a helicopter because that's where
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: the tail rotor blades are. An S-76 is different from
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: most aircraft. The blades are on a three degree tilt
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: So if you walk forward out of this aircraft, you
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: can see what can happen.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: When Kathy sees this, she's definitely going to want it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I got a sale here. This thing is going to
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: make us a lot of money. You want to go fly?
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: Let's go fly.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: So he turns around and says, well, let's go.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Where do we go? He goes, get in, man.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: We're going to fly it. Yeah, you don't have to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: tell me that twice.
• 41:16
  Speaker 12: It goes on, batteries on, rotating beacon. Oh, it's like small.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: I'll put you to the charge.
• 41:23
  Speaker 14: And he taxis it out, whoop, pops it off the
• 41:38
  Speaker 14: ground and takes off like a banner, man.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: And that's what I'm talking about.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Great job, buddy. Great job. That's what I'm talking about, man.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: You got you a helicopter, my friend.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I tell you, those people over in South Africa will
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: be really happy with this bird.
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: Very, very nice helicopter. I'm going to be sad to
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: see her go, but happy she's going to a good home.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, oh, oh. Oh, no.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: The pirates, another one in the bag. Well, the cost
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: of the project that we did to get this piece
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: of equipment was 120,000. It was another 80,000 in the
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: extraction cost with all the whole team going down there,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: all the equipment that we needed.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: So we spent another 80,000.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: The cost of putting this back together, 600,000. So this
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: was a great payday.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Total cost, 800,000.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: We sold it for 1.8. with a million dollar profit.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Doing this for a living is wonderful. Getting paid for
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: it is wonderful. But when you get to fly in
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: these things and after you've seen what it was in
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Panama to where we are now, hey, priceless. All right,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: let's recap. Got a call on a helicopter sitting in
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: the field in Panama. Nobody knew what it was about,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: but Walter and Asa and myself, we kind of had
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: the same information. So in this mission, we had to
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: fly in during the day, find a helicopter, see what
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: it was all about.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Then we had to go back at night.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: At night, that added a whole different other element. Security
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: was very high, threat was very high, and we had
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: to make this thing work. But we did it. Then,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: got it to the port, got it shipped. Once it
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: got here, got it up to Archangel, where they did
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: their magic. Also found a buyer, doctor out of South
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Africa that needed.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: A trauma home.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: And we are able to take this and turn it
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: for a huge payday. And that's what it's all about. Cha-ching.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Pirates do it again. I have an aircraft investigation that
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I've been working on. It was a plane that crashed
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: in the Dominican Republic, and I was looking for a fuselage.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: That I could use as a comparison.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: You need something to show what the plane looked like
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: before it was on fire. The whole one side of
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: the plane is perfect for exactly what I need to
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: demonstrate what actually transpired in this accident. This is gorgeous.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: If you want it, it's yours. I can have it.
• 45:08
  Speaker 12: You're not lying to me.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not lying to you.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: You're going to let me have this car.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: You're going to get this car. And all of a sudden,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: I look up, and there's the plane taking off. And
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: it was great to see it take off, but it
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: was really heartbreaking to know that there was my ride.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: You're up there.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: I'm down here.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Like always.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, where the f * * * are you guys?
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: We got a call from Tony.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: We need to move now. Let's get him now.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Get in, get in, get in. Let's go.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: That's the car.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, shit.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: He's turning around.
• 45:46
  Speaker 12: Oh, shit.
• 46:02
