This episode discusses a drug deal gone wrong, featuring David's analysis of a potential double-cross involving Julian, Cole, and Jeremy. Key topics include the unfolding plan, the dangers faced by Cole, and the implications of his knowledge of Spanish.

David believes the situation is more complex than a simple drug transaction. He suspects that Julian may have been working with the drug dealers, intending to sell drugs and then steal them back. This plan could have been disrupted by Cole's unexpected awareness of the danger.

Throughout the conversation, David highlights how Cole, who had only known Julian for a short time, might have picked up on crucial information due to his ability to understand Spanish. This knowledge could explain Cole's panic during their drive back.

David's insights suggest that Cole's fear was not of law enforcement but rather of the drug dealers who may have been following them. The episode raises questions about trust and betrayal in high-stakes situations.

TLDR

David suspects a drug deal involved a double-cross, with Cole potentially aware of the danger due to his Spanish skills.

David believes that whoever that was who called him is part of something bigger.
00:00:05
And that this was more than just a one-off drug deal gone wrong. Through all of the conversations that he
00:00:12
has had and the phone data that he's mapped out, David starts to piece together what he now believes may have
00:00:19
been the plan all along. He thinks it's possible that Julian may [music] have been double-crossing everyone. Meaning
00:00:28
what? Based on everything David's hearing, Cole and honestly maybe even Jeremy probably
00:00:35
thought that the plan was simple. They were going to go there, pay for drugs, [music] bring them back to Minnesota,
00:00:40
maybe even sell them to like the guys at the job site, but like that's what they
00:00:44
thought. >> Yeah. But David believes that maybe Julian was working with the guys that
00:00:49
they met up with and the plan was actually for them to sell the guys this like meth and then somehow, somehow that
00:00:57
night steal the drugs back. So, they get paid for the drugs they sold, but they get to keep their supply. Precisely. And
00:01:06
according to David, there are a couple of things that could have thrown off this whole plan.
00:01:12
First of which is Cole himself. Everyone we spoke to still believes that when Cole agreed to drive his co-workers down
00:01:18
to North Carolina, he probably had no idea the level of danger that he was actually getting himself into.
00:01:26
But according to David, it seems like Cole may have slowly [music] and surely been figuring it out like on
00:01:35
the fly. You see, Julian didn't know something about Cole. >> [music] >> He'd only known him for a month and
00:01:41
might have made some assumptions about him. Like for instance, that this [music] pre-med white kid from rural
00:01:47
Florida only spoke English. But that wasn't the case and it's very possible that Cole picked up on the fact
00:01:56
that he was in danger that night before he was supposed to ever even know. From what we heard, Cole actually knew a good
00:02:05
bit of Spanish. Enough that if Julian, Rudy, or their guys started talking about the real plan around him, Cole
00:02:13
might have been able to pick up on it. Which could have been why he was panicked on that drive back. Like it
00:02:18
could have been warranted. >> Right. David believes that could explain why Cole was so freaked out. Maybe why
00:02:24
they were cutting through Benson to begin with. Why he didn't just think that they were being followed. He may
00:02:30
have known that they were being followed. >> And it wasn't the cops he was afraid of.
00:02:34
It was the drug dealers following them.
