01x06 - Drugs, g*ns and Money

[bunniefuu]

BRITO: Who do you
have in El Salvador?

BRITO: Oh, okay.
I'm gonna check your bag.

After so many years experience,
I have learned a lot.

What is this?

PASSENGER: Orillia, yeah,
it's orillia, yeah.

BRITO: And what is Orillia? Oh.

BRITO: Different cultures.
Different people.

BRITO: You get more
familiar with what
you have in front of you.

Homemade?
This is homemade cheese?

BRITO: The point that
you see something different,

you know that
something is not right.

PASSENGER: Without labels.
PASSENGER: Yes.

BRITO: I can be very friendly,
but at the minute I feel
something is wrong,

I'm all business.

Do you have any
type of food, package,

or anything for
somebody else here?

BRITO: What you bring?
Just tell me.

BRITO: Oh, somebody's
sending that with you?

BRITO: Who?

BRITO: Okay. No problem.

BRITO: Say that again?

BRITO: Ah, Illiano. Illiano!

*

BRITO: Sir?
PASSENGER: Yeah.
BRITO: Stay over here.

BRITO: Yeah.

When I probed the can, I saw
a white powdery substance.

BRITO: Go ahead.

One of the things that really
got my attention is the three
cans of Ackee.

Ackee's the national
fruit from Jamaica, and, uh,
he's coming from Trinidad.

Why he's bringing this here?

And when I saw the white
powder, I said, "Oh, my gosh."

*

KEARSE: Here at
our facility we're
looking at a lot of packages.

Finding the
contraband goes back
to the officer doing the exam.

OFFICER: Nothing.

KEARSE: So, the guys,
they do pretty well because
they take joy in trying to

find this stuff.

It's like trying to
solve a good mystery.

It's like there's got to
be something in there.

Sometimes it's nothing.

And sometimes we spend an hour
searching one little thing.

It's just not right, but, you
know, they don't give up hope.

KEARSE: Looks like a
chemical solution.

So, let's prep it
for examination.

Drug dealers, they
come up with unique ways
to try to smuggle their goods

into the US, and
that's one of them.

KEARSE: It could have
originated in Germany and
routed through the

Netherlands, but you wouldn't
have a Netherlands postage, so.

The criminals will try to do
anything to mask what they're
doing to get a product through.

They're claiming it's
bio Eco-culture oil.

Green is the future.

Based on what we're seeing on
the outside, there's something
suspicious going on.

The good thing about
this equipment we have,

we can scan
it without opening the
plastic, causing spillage.

Gamma-Butyrolactone.

GBL.

It's a Schedule I
chemical class with the DEA.

This chemical can be easily
converted into a narcotic,

so, in this case,
GBL can be converted into GHB.

GHB is a known date-r*pe drug.

I have a young daughter,

so, um, things like
this is always a concern.

So, this is another drug that
we wanna get off the streets.

Looks like 1.3 kilograms.

We're gonna pass
that information along
to HSI and see what they

want to do with it.

BARBOSA: When was the
last time you were there?

PASSENGER: Uh. November.

AUSTIN: Air China
or China Eastern.

WATSON: Iberia.

MONTALVO: We have
Madrid, we had one from Japan.

WATSON: Specifically in LAX,

we seem to apprehend a
lot of women that are working

in the sex-trade industry.

BARBOSA: Are you traveling
alone or do you have friends
on the same plane?

WATSON: So, we have
CBP officers dedicated to
targeting people engaged in

sex trafficking and
human trafficking.

PACHECO: Mmm-hmm, Mmm-hmm.

PACHECO: Mmm-hmm.

AUSTIN: Operation Risky
Business is when the
immigration inspectors are

trying to determine whether
or not someone is engaged
in sex trafficking.

PACHECO: Where
you coming from? Passport?

AUSTIN: Very often, passengers
can be promised an opportunity
to come to the United States

and eventually, through
blackmail or a series of debts,

they end up working as
a sex worker, either
voluntarily or involuntarily.

PACHECO: Where you going?

PACHECO: For what purpose?

PACHECO: What do
you do for work?

PACHECO: What do
you do for work?

PACHECO: Yeah. Jewelry?
PASSENGER: Yeah.

PACHECO: You usually
come around the same time?

You were here
April 28th last year.

PACHECO: You know
anybody here in the U.S.?

PACHECO: Male or female?

PACHECO: What does
she do for work?

PACHECO: What do you think?

AUSTIN: Okay.
So, her friend's a student?

PACHECO: It's a female
friend and a student.

That's what she claims.

AUSTIN: Okay.
What city is she going to?

PACHECO: L.A.
AUSTIN: Of course.

PACHECO: I think it's
weird that she comes
around the same time.

AUSTIN: Officer Pacheco
noticed some behavioral
inconsistencies with the young

lady from Italy.

PACHECO: It's possible ORB.

AUSTIN: So, we'll move
forward with our
inspection and continue looking

for other information.

PACHECO: Just wait right there.
He'll call you right now, okay?
Thank you.

AUSTIN: How you doing, ma'am?
PASSENGER: Hello.

AUSTIN: Hi. Uh,
are you traveling
with anybody else today?

AUSTIN: No? Just you?
Could you step over
here for a second, please?

Do you have your
passport, please?

AUSTIN: I happened to
notice that there was another
young lady a little farther

down the line that
was actively avoiding
any kind of eye contact.

What kind of work do you do?

AUSTIN: Hmm.
Do you have any kind of
a company ID for that?

PACHECO: Like
your business card? Nothing?

AUSTIN: No? Okay.
PASSENGER: Not here.

AUSTIN: The young lady
claimed to be a travel agent.

One of the more
popular answers for an
established sex worker.

She's got extensive travel.

PACHECO: What country?
AUSTIN: Lots of them.

PACHECO: Come on over with us.

AUSTIN: Just right
over here, please.

The second traveler definitely
had red flags, so, we're gonna
take her and the first young

lady into the Admissibility
Review Unit to determine
whether or not they are,

in fact, able to
enter the country.

BRITO: Now that we have the
person secure, I'm gonna
proceed to test the substance

that I saw inside the cans.

OFFICER: Careful.

BRITO: This is
supposed to be ackee.

Ackee is a yellow fruit,
supposed to be liquid inside,
but when I probed the can,

I saw a white
powdery substance.

Voila, positive for cocaine.

Look.

If you feel this,
it feels funny.

OFFICER: Yeah.

BRITO: And if you shake it,
you're not gonna hear any
water in there.

OFFICER: Right.

BRITO: This drug organization,
they're very creative.

Not gonna see every
time the same concealment.

It's not, it
doesn't work that way.

They wanna confuse us.

Everything gotta
be double-checked.

That's why when you
look in a passenger's bag,
you got to open everything.

Sir? Are you okay?
Are you listening right now?

BRITO: Okay.
I understand that you're going
through something right now,

but we have to focus on
what we doing here, okay?

BRITO: I'm gonna explain you,

I'm gonna give you more
information later on,

but right now, I place
you under arrest for the
importation of narcotics

into the United States.

Do you understand, sir?

BRITO: You gonna have
time to explain yourself,
but please, right now,

you're under arrest.

Now that we know what
type of narcotics the
passenger is bringing,

we're gonna go ahead and
contact the Homeland Security
Investigators.

If you want to cooperate
with them, that's up to you.

You understand?

BRITO: Because you know
this is serious here, right?

BRITO: And right now,
you're in a situation.

*

PACHECO: Number six.
AUSTIN: Hello, again. Okay.

PACHECO: We have the authority
to look through your phone

while you're in, uh,
inspection, okay?

AUSTIN: Any person entering
the United States,

they are all subject to
an admissibility inspection,

that includes the cell
phones of the young ladies.

PACHECO: When did
you book your trip?

PACHECO: Three days ago.
Why so sudden?

Usually, if I'm gonna
travel somewhere, I plan
my tickets and my trips,

like, a month before.

PACHECO: Uh-hmm.

AUSTIN: So, you're
like a tour leader?

AUSTIN: Okay.

Any time there's an
inconsistency, we try to get a
more complete story out of the

subject and determine whether
or not they were, in fact,
able to enter the country.

AUSTIN: So, you're
not doing it anymore?

AUSTIN: Okay.

AUSTIN: Okay.

PACHECO: And then you said
you have more friends here.

Male friend, when did
you meet him, you said?

PACHECO: There you go.

Just check out at
the front desk, okay?

She had a lot of pictures of
her jewelry and she had a lot
of orders as well on the side.

So, to me it seemed
like she was legitimate.

AUSTIN: The second passenger.

Her passport showed
rather consistent
international travel.

None is particularly recent.

Only one of them
is to a party town.

Thank you, ma'am.

Go ahead and show this
to the officer at the desk
and he'll let you out.

PASSENGER: Okay.

AUSTIN: They're not up to
anything that is prohibited,
so they're both free to go.

PACHECO: That's just how it is.

We're just picking and
choosing and if it's not there,

it's not there.

Thank you for your time.
Bye, bye.

MARCO: Afternoon, guys.
How are you?

We got approximately 1.3
kilograms of GBL that the CBP
in Miami intercepted.

The bottles that you
guys see in the middle,

those bottles are the
ones that contain the GBL.

We are not gonna be
delivering those.

They've been replaced
with the little bottles of
baby oil just in case the

package goes mobile.

The individual that we're
delivering to is a white male,

approximately in his,
uh, late 30s.

This individual, he works out,

he's pretty much got,
like, a ten-pack.

He's a big fella.

So, obviously, the entry team,

when we go in, we want to
proceed with caution.

Once the subject accepts
delivery of the package, we'll
go ahead and have our

designated entry team,

make entry on the apartment,
secure the subject,

and then we'll go ahead
and conduct a search
of the premises.

Any questions,
comments, concerns?

So, remember, guys,
safety's paramount.

Make sure you have all
your vests, gear, and
we'll see you guys out there.

GBL is commonly known
as the date-r*pe drug.

In South Florida,
there's a lot of beach
parties and whatnot,

and we have had males
and females drugged with
GBL for sexual assaults.

For us, it's highly important
to take a drug like GBL off
the street.

BRITO: Tell me the
breakdown for the money.

PATRICK: Okay. Five 100s.

This is Special Agent Patrick.

The time is 10:13.
Can I give this to you?

Did you know
what was in there?

PATRICK: No? Okay.

Who asked you to bring
that over there, if anybody?

Did you bring
that over yourself?
Did you just...

PATRICK: And who is he to you?

PATRICK: So far, what we know
about the perp is that he was
traveling from Trinidad,

where he resides
and owns a store.

Did he give you any
compensation for that?

PATRICK: He didn't, he didn't,
he didn't pay you?

PATRICK: Okay.

This guy's in
serious trouble right now.

He has a large
amount of cocaine that came
in on his luggage.

Right now, it's all his
and that's all we know.

Uh, but there is always
more to it than that.

He asked you to
bring those over...

PATRICK: For his aunt?
PASSENGER: Yeah.
PATRICK: And who's his aunt?

PATRICK: You wanted to get
those cans to the aunt, right?

PATRICK: Have
you called her yet?

PATRICK: If we can get him to
get him to talk to the
individual from Trinidad we

can use that to lead us into
catching the next big fish,
much bigger targets that we

have in these drug
trafficking organizations.

So, so far for me, there are
some red flags that are being
raised here.

I think you know more than
you might be telling me.

PATRICK: There's a lot of
phone calls back and forth.

PATRICK: Listen.

I'm not here to try and
haul you off to jail.

I'm not here to snap
my fingers and say,
"Ha, ha, got you."

I'm really not interested
in you, to be honest.

Maybe you've done this before.

Maybe you don't ask
what's in the package.

PATRICK: I'm not even trying
to get you to say you did
something before.

What I am trying to do
is figure out what happened
today with this and who

is coming to get it.

Because if I can get on to them.

PATRICK: I want to
get on to them, too.

I'm glad you want me to.

Listen.

I'm gonna tell you right now,
your guy in Trinidad, he
doesn't care about you.

Use this opportunity that
you have now to help yourself.

Because we wanna help you.

You're not a bad guy.

Let me ask you this.
How were you going to
give it to his aunt?

PATRICK: So, she's
supposed to meet you
at your brother's place,

not the airport?

PATRICK: Okay.

PATRICK: Uh-hmm.

PATRICK: The perp is being
cooperative with us, which
does help us figure out the

truth of what's going on here.

This isn't the
only person involved.

This is someone's product,
this is someone's money, and
it's being pushed into the US,

and there's gonna be
other people that are gonna
have to take responsibility

for what happened.

We'll see what
we can do, okay? All right.

*

AUSTIN: Number four.

Number five.

This is your second visa
for the United States?

PASSENGER: Yes.
AUSTIN: Okay.

PACHECO: Cashier or
you sell products?

What do you do?

OFFICER: Krishna. Krishna?

WATSON: Got everything?

Just follow that
young lady there.

OFFICER: Of which country
are you a citizen or national?

OFFICER: What is
your marital status?

OFFICER: How did
you first meet?

OFFICER: What is
his occupation?

OFFICER: Have you ever used
any controlled substances?

OFFICER: Ever.

OFFICER: Are you
applying for admission into
the United States under the

Visa Waiver Program today?

OFFICER: Yeah.

WATSON: When you did that
electronic application, it
asks you on there if you use

any controlled substances.

So, you've signed off on that,
saying that you're gonna
adhere to those laws while

you're here, and
unfortunately, and obviously,
you haven't.

WATSON: Right but it's a
state's issue at this point.

Federally, we still
consider it ill*gal.

WATSON: Totally understand but
that applies to US citizens.

OFFICER: Anything that
has to do with immigration,

that's gonna fall
under federal law.

OFFICER: Under federal law.
Yeah, I understand.

WATSON: Even though marijuana
use in Colorado might be
totally legal,

the fact of the matter is it's
still against federal laws.

And, obviously, because
we're a federal law enforcement
agency we're going to

enforce federal laws.

OFFICER: Do you have any
pending petitions filed on
your behalf to live or work in

the United states?

OFFICER: Do you have a
screenshot on it, on his phone
or anything?

PASSENGER: It's in the emails.

OFFICER: Emails?
Okay, we'll do it in there.

OFFICER: This is or was?

WATSON: Under Border Search
Authority, CBP maintains the
right to look through people's

cell phones and laptops.

We're gonna check her phone
for conversations between her
and her potential fiancé to

establish exactly what her
intent for coming to the
United States is.

OFFICER: So, we're gonna take
a quick break and then I'll
call you back in.

OFFICER: Man, you can smell it.
PATRICK: Yeah, it reeks.

OFFICER: We can try and turn
it upside down and cut the
bottom and push it through.

PATRICK: Yeah.

It's actually still
like brick in there.

There it goes.

OFFICER: Look at that, huh?

BRITO: It's gonna
be a good weight.

PATRICK: All right.

BRITO: 1.3 kilograms with
a street value of $64,000.

That's a good weight that
I put out of the street.

OFFICER: There you go.

PATRICK: You didn't
say about any times, any
pickup times or anything?

PATRICK: Did he say if a
guy or a girl was coming?

PATRICK: The passenger at this
time is being cooperative.

PATRICK: So, when this
individual calls from Trinidad,

we're gonna have him talk to
that person so that we can go
ahead and snatch up whoever

this stuff is
supposed to go to.

AGENT: This is the
only entrance in or out?

MARCO: I believe so, yeah,
because here in the north,
there's a wall.

MARCO: All right. 10-4.

Okay, we're live
audio on, uh, the UC.

Stand by.

We're gonna have the undercover
operative under a ruse,

plainclothes, walk up,
knock on the door, and pretend
that there was a mis-delivery

to a different apartment.

AGENT: He's walking
down the hallway.

MARCO: I got you.

All right.
UC just knocked at the door.

(knocking)

All right, UC
just knocked again.

All right.
Somebody just answered.

Stand by.
Somebody just answered.

All right.
Subject accepted parcel.
Subject accepted parcel.

Package is in play.
Package is in play.

We got the UC walking back
toward the main hallway.

Stand by.
Will advise as soon
as he clears the area.

UC is in the clear.
We're good to go.

MARCO: The subject is home.

He accepted delivery of the
package, and, uh, now it's
just a waiting game.

We wait to give the
person the opportunity

to break into the package,
so when we go in,

we catch them with
their hand in the cookie jar.

*

(phone ringing)

PASSENGER: Hi, hi.

MAN (over phone): All right.

PATRICK: Were you able to
get, like, a description,

like the way the car
looked or anything like?

PATRICK: All right.
So, maybe when he calls back?

PATRICK: The individual from
Trinidad has someone coming to
pick up the drugs,

and he'll call him when
that person's coming.

So, we're gonna let this whole
thing play out and see if we
can't get our hands on the

individual that's
coming to pick up the drugs.

AGENT: All right, guys.

We have four PD units
on the block already.

They'll do the
initial takedown.

We're gonna have the cooperator
with you, in the car.

You are 100% responsible
for our cooperator.

PATRICK: When we're conducting
a controlled delivery where

we're actually going to be
bringing the perp out with us,

the safety of the perpetrator
is one of our main concerns,

just as much as the safety
of any other agent or law
enforcement personnel

on the scene.

AGENT: The meeting should
take place around here.

But say the guys get mobile.

We wanna be able to cut if off
here and then cut it off here
so there's nowhere to go.

So, soon as he arrives,
we could just pounce him
and get him.

We don't have to allow this
elaborate face-to-face meeting
to take place.

PATRICK: Yup.

AGENT: Stay tactically
sharp and stay safe.
Let's do it. All right?

AGENT: All right.

PATRICK: Right now, we have a
plan in place as far as the
controlled delivery goes.

We're gonna get our cans from
7-Eleven so that we have
something to present to the

person that's gonna
come pick up the drugs.

We also have NYPD that's
moving out to secure an area
that we're gonna use for the

drugs to be delivered to.

We're gonna see, uh, who shows
up and, uh, we're gonna take
them down.

OFFICER: Hey, Chief.

This stuff in her phone.

WATSON: Oh, wow.

There's a lot more
going on than we thought.

We were going with the intent
that she was coming to live and

work here without authorization.

We looked at her phone because
she had said that she had an

application for
a lawful permanent
residency status on it.

These pictures, are we able to
blow them up, especially the
one with the money and the,

the weapons?

OFFICER: Oh, yeah.

WATSON: But upon further
inspection, we found pictures
of drug paraphernalia,

we found money, we found g*ns,
and it appeared like her
fiancé was attempting to

smuggle those things or been
selling those things in the
United States.

Have you asked her about
any of these pictures yet?

OFFICER: No.

WATSON: Okay.

So, now might be a good time
to contact Homeland Security
Investigations,

let them see the pictures so
they can pursue an
investigation potentially

against the fiancé.

MARCO: Be ready if the
subject, for some reason,
leaves the apartment and we do

not see a package in hand,
we're gonna go ahead and take
him into custody as he

approaches his vehicle.

All right.
You guys can start
moving into the stairwell.

No change on the residence.

No change.

Our entry team's getting ready
to move into position to go
into the, uh, premises.

Anytime we're going into an
apartment or a house, there's
a lot of unknowns,

so that's where we got to gear
up and prepare for the worst
and run scenarios

in your head.

And that's basically what our
entry team's doing right now.

Uh, entry team be advised.

Uh, we got a, uh, bystander
walking by on the fourth level.

AGENT: All right.
Hang on. He's coming out.

MARCO: The subject just
came out of the apartment.

He's wearing a black ball
cap, white shirt, dark shorts.

He's making his
way to the elevator.

Looks like we're gonna have
to take him at the vehicle.

MARCO: Okay.
Subject's coming out.

Subject's coming out,
approaching the vehicle.

Go ahead.
Go ahead, guys.

AGENT: Stop right there!
Put your hands up!

MARCO: Subject just
came out of the apartment.

Okay, subject's coming out.
Subject's coming out,
approaching the vehicle.

Go ahead.
Go ahead, guys.

AGENT: Stop right there!
Put your hands up!

On your stomach!
On your stomach!

(handcuffs click)

I'm gonna roll you to
the side and we'll sit you
on your butt, all right?

One, two, three.

MARCO: We just
ex*cuted the arrest of the
subject that we delivered a,

a package to.

MARCO: We'll go ahead and
execute a federal search
warrant on the premises,

see if we can find additional
evidence, and hopefully
interview him,

and he'll wanna
cooperate with us.

AGENT: Police search warrant!
Police search warrant!

Police.
Police coming in!

MARCO: Team is
making entry now.

Stand by.

MARCO: All right. 10-4.
Let's run the dog.

We're gonna run a K-9,
see if we find any, uh,
additional, uh, contraband.

We're searching for any
additional evidence that we'll
prosecute the subject with.

MARCO: Okay.

At the end of the day we got
the job done, took a bad guy
off the street,

took drugs off the street, and
everybody's going home safely.

*

PATRICK: Right now,
we're going over to
Jamaica, New York.

We have an address that we've
selected that's gonna be
advantageous to us,

and that's gonna be where
everyone's set up to see if
this international drug

receiving coordination,
if it's gonna go down or not.

This is good because
we'll be able to get
direct players involved.

The key is to make sure that
they don't think anything
other than a normal drug,

uh, transaction is, is
occurring as far as someone
bringing drugs into a country,

them going
somewhere to pick it up.

You know, we wanna keep
everything completely normal,
and that's how we get to them.

It's just a matter
of who's coming over.

That part, we don't know yet,
but I think, definitely,
someone's gonna show up.

So, I want to get us about a
block away or so and
coordinate from there.

Let's see if it goes.

Best-case scenario is that
someone shows up and the
conversation between all

parties goes correctly.

If we can talk to
the intended recipient
for this drug transaction,

then hopefully we can
get even further when it
comes to taking something

off the street.

PATRICK: So, the
house is about one
block away to, uh, our right,

where we're sitting, but the
individual could pass by us.

They could circle the block.

They could weave in and out.

You know, they could do
whatever ritual they have it
is to get the paranoia off

their backs that they're
coming to pick up almost a
kilo and a half of cocaine.

PATRICK: Copy.

We just got word that the
person that's coming to pick
up the drugs is getting close.

We aren't able to see
what she looks like,
we don't know her name,

but this amount of
drugs involved,
there's a strong history in,

in times like this where
g*ns are also involved.

I don't like this car
that just rolled up.

*

PATRICK: I don't like this
car that just rolled up.

But we'll see what happens.

We're still currently
waiting on the female.

From what we could tell,

she's actually coordinating
still with the individual in

Trinidad that is talking
to, uh, our cooperator.

He's seemingly giving
her directions over here.

And we're hoping that,
uh, she makes herself more,
more known than not when she

gets into the area.

PATRICK: The hardest part
about being patient is that
you have to spend energy being

patient because you
can't get complacent.

You have to stay alert.

You have to watch
every car that goes by,
every individual.

PATRICK: Wow.

PATRICK: Copy.

Sometimes you get
them, sometimes you don't.

It seems like communication's
kind of fallen off.

Um, so, they're gonna go
ahead and try and reconvene,

see if they can't reach
back out to the person.

You know, it could be
a misunderstanding.

We could be right back
out here in an hour.

We don't know.

So, we'll see what happens.

OFFICER: So, this was actually
the boyfriend's phone.

He gave it to her,
like, two months ago.

So, everything prior to two
months ago would be from him.

It happens a lot that CBP will
contact us and give us
information on prospective

drug smugglers.

OFFICER: There's actually a
text, someone texting him,
asking him if he had molly,

and he said yeah.

So, obviously, he was selling
more than just marijuana.

KENDRED: Okay.
We'll definitely follow
up on the drug questions.

OFFICER: Uh-hmm.

OFFICER: Okay.

KENDRED: Bring her down.

KENDRED: So, have you ever
known him to sell any, uh,
controlled substances?

CHRISTOPHER: What
about all the pictures
that were on his phone?

The money, the cash?

PASSENGER: Well, as
far as I'm concerned,
the money is probably,

it's probably just
dollar bills behind it.

It's probably not even his.

The videos are
probably not even his,
probably his friend's.

CHRISTOPHER: It is, I mean,
you have to admit, it is kind
of unusual to have that kind

of money in the
pictures, and especially with.

PASSENGER: Honestly, I've,
I've bundled up one myself.

It's a 100, the rest
is, like, ones or fives.

It's just to, like,
look cool, I guess.

His friends do it.

They all take Snapchats of it.

That's probably
what he's done.

CHRISTOPHER: He does
have some text messages in
here that are referencing

selling drugs or narcotics.

There's some that,
what he calls molly.

Is that something you've seen?
I mean...

PASSENGER: I've, I've
never seen anything like that.

CHRISTOPHER: What do
you make of all that?
That he has...

PASSENGER: No. I've never see,
I haven't gone through his
messages,

I've never seen them,

but I know he's, like,
bought weed in the past.

But I've, I've smoked some of
that weed and, like, in
Colorado done that.

He bought, I assumed was legal
anyways because he told me

it was legal, so, I
just kind of assumed it.

I have seen the
videos you're talking about,

but I just assume
they're from his friend's
factory that he has,

and he grows and then ships
them out to dispensaries.

PASSENGER: Oh, he has
a few in his house,
but they're legal, right?

Like, handguns and stuff?

He tries to look cool.

You, like, you gotta understand,
he tries to really, you know,

put it out there and
send it to celebrities
just as all his friends do.

But, I assumed all the
firearms were legal and none
were ill*gal ones.

KENDRED: Thank you
very much for your time.

Appreciate it.

PASSENGER: Thank you.

KENDRED: He is a
seller in Colorado, and
his friend has a dispensary.

WATSON: Okay.

KENDRED: Yes.

WATSON: What about all
the cash and the, the g*ns?

KENDRED: Well, she's
saying that the cash is.

CHRISTOPHER: She's
claiming everything is staged.

WATSON: Oh.

KENDRED: Yeah, especially
getting for the cameras.

You know, those $100.

CHRISTOPHER: You know,
it's for, it's like a show.

WATSON: Okay.

KENDRED: So, we're good to go.
PASSENGER: Right on. Thank you.
KENDRED: Thank you.

WATSON: HSI decided
not to pursue a criminal
investigation against the

passenger or her fiancé,

but even though marijuana use in
Colorado might be totally legal,

the fact of the matter is it's
still against federal laws.

So because she
was a marijuana user,

we determined that she
needed to be refused admission

into the United States
under the Visa Waiver Program.

You're just gonna
wait for your flight.

All right. Thank you.

Unfortunately she
just came off of a
long flight from Australia,

and because we've had to
Visa Waiver refuse her,

she's gonna have a really
long flight back.

PATRICK: The individual that
we've been having our
cooperator talk to that seems

to be orchestrating this whole
thing, um, he stopped
answering his phone.

So, at this time, uh, we're
gonna, got to stop where we
are at and we're going to turn

our custody of our cooperator
over to NYPD for further
investigation.

The 1.3 kilograms that we
seized this morning is going
to be headed over to the

district attorney's office
to be further prosecuted.

Even though this individual
helped us out, right now, we
can't make any promises.

He's looking at a steep
felony, right off the bat.

But if he can help us get to
the next step, then maybe he
can help himself out down the

road as far as us being able
to say, "Hey, look, this guy
went ahead and tried to make

sure that we had all the
information we needed to get
to the truth that day."

I think that there is always
going to be drug trafficking
occurring in some way,

shape, or form.

If you ask me is
there an end in sight,
I'm gonna tell you no.

But if we stop and let it
all flow, it's gonna be
a lot, lot worse.

So it's very important that we
keep doing what we're doing as

far as HSI is concerned and
as far as protecting everything

that comes in at our borders.
