He said he could pay, but he needed time.

His brother was in the federal detention center, and Nate couldn't be sure that DEA wasn't watching him.

Nate spun Diaz and Ole another week, eventually agreeing to meet at a stash house in July.

Diaz told Nate that he needed to figure something out.

If you don't come up with the cash, it's going to be bad.

These guys are going to send someone to your house, and they're not going to ask nice like me.

I know that, okay?

I'm trying, replied Nate as desperation set in.

I just need some more time.

Nate, unbeknownst to Diaz, was wired.

Worse still, the DEA was listening in.

Ole was making tacos and Diaz was on Facebook on Wednesday, August 24, 2011, when someone pounded on the front door.

Ole turned the handle and a DEA agent wearing a Kevlar vest slammed it wide open.

Suddenly, a dozen more agents swarmed inside, yelling, get on the ground, while pointing assault rifles at the two narcos.

They were handcuffed and shown an indictment charging them with conspiracy to distribute more than five kilos of crack.

During a search of the house, the agent seized over $75,000, but no drugs or weapons.

Diaz and Ole were transported to the U.S.

Marshals Holding Center in Marion County.

One month later, Diaz was released on bond.
