'Cause they don't want a make believe guy. 4

My name's Eddie Follis, and for practically three decades 8

and in particular the United States Marine Corps 11

Eddie Follis put his life on the line countless times 14

to take down what the U.S. government called 15

some of the world's most nefarious drug barons. 16

Embedding himself in places like Egypt, 17

I'm gonna make this mandate on my life. 28

And then it was just, like, no course correction. 29

Which is where Eddie started, in California. 32

And he's told me at times that he values me 38

Essell worked as a Nigerian drug trafficker, 40

was the Amado Carrillo Fuentes case from Narcos fame. 44

He was known as the Lord of the Skies. 46

And my partner and I, we were able to develop 47

when I was assigned to El Paso, Texas. 50

for 80% of the heroin that arrived in the U.S. 53

you know Zhang Quifu, opium warlord empire. 55

The strategic applications of this incredible group. 58

Eddie says that in order to get in good 59

with these kids of guys, you have to give a bit of yourself. 60

You get to a juncture and there's more trust. 62

You get to the next one and there's more trust. 63

It could be murder for hire, drugs, you know, any vice, 67

Then there's no limit to what you can do. 73

Except when it comes to your personal life. 74

crazy, insane professional satisfaction 76

and success I had in taking down, and being part of four 77

And it never does allow for that stability that's necessary. 80

if the corps wanted you to have a wife, 83

And the times that I did, it didn't work out so well. 88

And it's wholly attributed to me on my side. 89

So there's a price to be paid for anything. 90

who manages all these different quarrels. 95

And is working on an upcoming TV series. 97

His incredible story is getting renewed attention 98

through another Hollywood heavy hitter. 99

Ed O'Neill, best known for his roles as Al Bundy in Married 100

with Children and Jay Pritchett in Modern Family, 101
