00:04I'm married to these animals, but I'm most intimate with my King Cobras.
00:13We were obsessed with...
00:17...addiction, dude.
00:19We were rogues, and I was the king.
00:24Now, how deadly is this King Cobra?
00:26Well, uh, you would certainly die.
00:32Jurassic Park made everyone want their own dinosaur in their house.
00:37He wanted the most unusual, no matter the consequences.
00:47The Americans would pay crazy prices, and they were all very competitive with each other.
00:52So I was able to exploit that.
00:57Even though it was illegal.
01:00Thrived.
01:03Seventy-five were stolen from the sanctuary.
01:06Ugh.
01:07That was fun.
01:08What was the fun part?
01:10Just getting away with it.
01:11Well, smuggle some turtles and then you'll feel the rush.
01:17There was a parallel between the people that smuggled animals and the people smuggling drugs.
01:23They took the reptile smuggling into a dark and violent underworld.
01:27I fantasized about arresting someone like you.
01:34The most prolific wildlife smuggler in the world.
01:38The Pablo Escobar reptiles.
01:41He's a dangerous.
01:43So you still have to be careful when you're dealing with him.
01:45Him.
01:46It was just a cat and mouse game.
01:48And there was lots of cheese.
01:51The minute we went after the international brokers.
01:56Everybody was out for themselves.
02:01People are going to continue to want that which is forbidden.
