Second programme in this new series of investigative reports.
The Bounty Hunters
'I'm probably one of the last bounty hunters left in America,' says
Leonard Padilla , a gun-toting Mexican with a black sombrero.
Padilla and his two sidekicks go after fugitives who've jumped bail - and they boast a 100 per cent success rate. Are they romantic leftovers from the wild west, or villains running roughshod over citizens' rights? This film follows them in the pursuit and dramatic capture of an armed drug-dealer.
