00:00Where are we on finding this fish market?
00:02DEA files don't mention it outright,
00:05but I was looking at transcripts from Agent Rodado's meetings
00:07with Maria.
00:08He was working hard to build trust.
00:10Well, I can understand her reticence.
00:11I'm sure Maria saw firsthand just how violent
00:13and vindictive the cartel is.
00:14She's putting her life on the line
00:16just talking to the DEA.
00:17Well, the Bloodhound's a master of torture,
00:19and he's held Agent Rodado for too long now.
00:21Maria was really starting to open up
00:23in the last few interviews.
00:24Yeah, look at this.
00:26She says that the Vallarta cartel smuggles cocaine
00:28out of Mexico using seafood crates
00:30with hidden compartments.
00:31The smell could help move the product past drug dogs
00:34and into the US.
00:35Yeah, but wherever they remove the coke must also
00:37have a lot of seafood around.
00:39That's got to be the fish market Olivia heard them mentioning.
00:41But the DEA has no record of the cartel
00:43owning any property in LA.
00:45Well, the A-12s haven't been working with the Vallarta
00:47cartel for long, but they are doing business with them.
00:50Pull up their financials.
00:53OK, the A-12s received a hefty cash transfer from this LLC
00:57right about the same time they started surveilling
00:59Agent Rodado for the cartel.
01:00Property records show that same LLC owns a couple warehouses.
01:03One filed for construction permits.
01:05Purpose listed was to install commercial freezers.
01:08What you'd use to store seafood.
01:10That is the Bloodhound's fish market.
01:11More than likely where they're holding Agent Rodado.
01:13Get there.
