02x02 - The Coke Inside

[bunniefuu]

ANNOUNCER:
All areas in the terminal building...

Right now, we're waiting
for a plane to arrive

from the Dominican Republic.

We have a person of interest
on that flight.

We will be ID'ing her
as she steps out of the jetway.

Well, here we go.

Have your passports out, please.

VANACORE: Thank you.

- Are you traveling alone?
- WOMAN: Yeah.

ABREU: All right.

WOMAN: No, I just... Ouch.

- ABREU: Oh!
- [WOMAN GROANS]

ABREU: Okay.

When she came off the plane,

the passenger kind of
bumped her right leg.

She starts acting
like something was hurting her,

but the brace, I noticed,
was in her left leg.

That was kind of off.

Thank you so much.

BONO:
We'll follow her through immigration,

and we will see what her story is.

We're going to look
into her reason for travel,

why she was there,
where she's going when she's here,

who she's meeting,
just to see if there's a connection.

BONO: When she came up to you,
she bumped her leg, right?

ABREU:
Someone bumped her leg.

- And she went into, "Oh!"
- ABREU: She was like, "Ow!"

Yeah, see, I told you, right?

- She's gonna be very dramatic.
- Dramatic, yeah.

So just be prepared, all right?

ANNOUNCER: Avianca representatives
to Passport Control.

Avianca representatives
to Passport Control.

She is definitely peeking around.

- ABREU: Oh, she is?
- VANACORE: Yeah, she's looking.

ABREU:
She don't have any bags.

BONO: See,
I like that right there. No bags.

That just raises so many red flags to me.

I'm gonna fall back.
I'll wait over there, all right?

This way, it doesn't appear
like we're ganging up on her.

WHITE: Excuse me, ma'am.
Where are you arriving from today?

Where are you arriving from today?

Are you coming from México?

- WOMAN: Si.
- WHITE: Okay, gracias. Gracias.

MATHESON:
Meth is a hot topic here at our airport.

We have seen a big uprise of meth

mostly from the southern borders
coming up,

but it is coming in, and it is a problem.

You know, we got teams
out there roving every day.

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

MATHESON: You know,
it's a game out here,

but our job is to locate,
detect, and, uh, to seize.

DAVE: I'm gonna say,
in the last three or four months,

we've got 3,000 to 4,000 pounds of meth.

So this is what they call a shard.

That's just pure crystal methamphetamine.

Kind of looks like
the little shards you put in...

Superman put in
to create his cave and stuff.

There's multiple cartels that are working
in the Metro Atlanta area.

I mean, it really seems like
meth is flooding the market.

STEVE: Homeland Security
Investigations

is the investigative department
for Homeland Security.

We handle drugs, money laundering,
immigration violations.

I'm over our drug group here in Atlanta,

the OCDETF Strike Force Group.

We have all sorts of task force officers.

They're local, city,
county, and state officers

that are assigned to HSI.

They work cases just like our agents do.

DAVE: All right, so today
we're gonna do an operation.

We've got very, very limited information.

We know that there's a drug transaction
that's supposed to be going on

somewhere in the Cumberland area.

Uh, all that we really know right now

is that there's a female

bringing a large quantity
of possibly methamphetamine.

One of our undercover officers
has been in touch with the target

and is acting as a buyer.

The undercover officer
plans to meet the target

somewhere in a strip mall
in the area around the interstate,

but there's no exact location yet.

We're just gonna set up surveillance
around the Home Depot area.

There is a Panera Bread.

And then we're also
gonna set up people over here,

so we can have somebody with eyes here,

maybe even looking down
or just watching that strip mall area.

We do have, uh, the troopers here
that will try to initiate a stop.

In the event that the female
takes off and runs, for whatever reason,

when, uh, the troopers light her up
with the blue lights,

we'll let the troopers handle that,

but, you know, our uniform guys
can slowly tail behind

just in case there's
another incident or whatever.

But that's all I have right now,

so we're gonna go ahead
and get out into the area

and see what we can come up with.

Any questions?

Okay.

ANNOUNCER: If you arrived
on Flight 39 from Santo Domingo,

your bags is at carousel number three.

VANACORE: Good morning, ma'am.
Passport.

WOMAN: Oh, hey.

VANACORE: How are you today?

VANACORE: Okay, no problem.
Where are you coming from today?

VANACORE: Okay.
Just follow me this way.

You have all your bags with you?

VANACORE: Okay.

She, uh, has a carry-on.

ABREU: All right. Do you want me
to check while you question?

VANACORE: Uh, yeah, that's fine.

This is your bag, correct?

I like your glasses.

Are they prescription?

BONO: They're so big, it looks like
you're gonna need windshield wipers

on 'em if you ever go out in the rain,
right?

BONO: They are, right?

ABREU:
Okay, ma'am, everything's yours?

ABREU: You packed it yourself?

ABREU: Okay.

VANACORE:
Any food, alcohol, tobacco?

Okay.

VANACORE: What was
the purpose of your trip?

VANACORE:
What are the injections for?

BONO: What kind of shot did you get?
Did they tell you?

BONO: And I heard you mention
to the officer

that it's cheaper down there?

So then what insurance did you use

to go down to the Dominican Republic
to get your knee looked at?

BONO: All right, all right.
Let's stop right there for a minute.

You paid out of pocket for your...

BONO: Now why would you do that?

BONO:
How could it possibly be cheaper?

Did you even bother to check
to see if a cortisone shot

is covered by your insurance here?

BONO: I can guarantee
that a cortisone shot

is going to be covered by insurance, 100%.

We're skeptical, okay?

In general, a cortisone shot
is very cheap.

There is no reason to go down
to the Dominican Republic for one.

How much did you pay for your airfare
to travel down

to the Dominican Republic?

BONO: Who paid for your airfare?

How long have you been with him?

So you met him in Dominican
Republic or you met him here?

Has he ever been to the United States?

VANACORE: So, he paid for your ticket?

It just doesn't...
It just makes no sense, so.

We're just trying to get
your story straight, you understand?

Okay. We're just gonna put
your stuff back in your bag, okay?

And then we're gonna ask you
a few more questions in the back.

BONO: We're not here to delve
into somebody's personal life,

but we feel right now that the sugar daddy

had her go down there for another reason.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Anybody copy?

DAVE: We'll let you know
when everybody's in place

and then you can place the call.

[PHONE CHIMES]

DAVE: We're parked
at the Panera Bread right now.

DAVE: The UC is gonna
give out this location

so that we can hopefully
see the female pull in.

[PHONE CHIMES]

DAVE: Said that she
was picking up the shirts,

which is drug lingo
for probably the drugs.

Hopefully, she'll pick those up
rather quickly

and then be headed this way.

We're just waiting on somebody to show up.

We don't really know
what we're looking for.

We have very, very limited information
on this,

other than it's a female.

Um, it kind of puts,
you know, everybody else,

everybody that's out here
a little bit more on edge

and a little bit more alert,

because you don't know if one car
is coming up with the drugs in it,

and another car is following
or vice versa.

Or if they're actually coming up here

to try to rip the guy of the money
by just stealing the money from him,

and, you know, you could have
anything from a shootout go on

or a car chase or whatever.

But, um, you know, everybody's prepared.

We've all done these things
multiple times and stuff,

and, you know, we... we just plan
to expect the unknown.

VANACORE:
Are you able to stand up?

BONO: The passenger,
her story was that she claimed

to have gone down
to the Dominican Republic

for treatment on her knee.

It certainly seems
that her story is fabricated.

BONO: She will be brought
into a private room for a pat down.

VANACORE:
Take the wheelchair. Yeah, that's fine.

ABREU: There's no problem.

She's requesting to use the ladies' room.

A passenger can attempt to smuggle
narcotics into the United States

on the body or in the body.

VANACORE: I'll go inside with her,
that's fine.

But please, thank you.

BONO: So we prep the ladies' room
to prevent anything that might be inside,

if she did insert anything,
to be flushed down the toilet.

Yeah, we'll take you
into the room and we'll talk.

Just give him a second.

ABREU: Don't flush the toilet.
Just pee right there.

- ABREU: Don't be nervous.
- VANACORE: Don't be nervous.

Take your time.

- [SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
- [WOMAN SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

TAI: Speak English?

TAI: Go ahead
and raise the glasses for me.

LOPEZ: So we're here at another gate

waiting for another flight
coming from Colombia.

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

OFFICER Colombia, we still find
a lot of passengers

bringing in ill*gal drugs,

so we're talking to a lot of people today.

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Okay.

We're gonna get them to identify
their luggage, talk to them,

see what we find, and then work
with the other units for different things.

Uh-huh.

LOPEZ: We have a lot of problems
with human trafficking for sex,

so, looking for that,

and every other thing that we could find,

so we got
a couple of potentials right now.

- RIMOLA: First time in Colombia?
- MAN: No,

I was actually there exactly a year ago.

RIMOLA: Okay. I'm gonna check
the bag with you, right?

I just pulled over a gentleman
who was extremely nervous

when I started talking to him,
very fidgety.

There's something here
he obviously doesn't want me to look at.

How often do you go down to Colombia?

MAN: I was only there
for the first time last year.

RIMOLA: Okay. What
do you have, a friend down there?

MAN: Yeah.
And I saw him again this year.

RIMOLA:
Male friend or girlfriend?

RIMOLA: Male?

RIMOLA: Okay.
So this is your second trip?

RIMOLA: How old is he?

MAN: He? He's about 35.

RIMOLA: 35?

How old is he?

Come on, man, you told me 30s,
and now you're telling me 20s?

- MAN: I know.
- RIMOLA: It's okay.

I mean, how old is he?

He's 21.

RIMOLA: He's 21?

He'll be 22 December the 31st.

He's one of those lucky
New Year's Eve babies.

Where did you stay
while you were down there?

- MAN: With him.
- RIMOLA: At his house?

MAN: Apartment. Yeah.

- PUPO: You're married?
- Huh?

PUPO: Are you married?

- [MAN LAUGHS]
- PUPO: You sure?

MAN: I was married at one time, yes.

PUPO:
You just wear the ring to wear it?

Yeah, I just wear it.

Something is going on.
We just don't know what yet.

RIMOLA: Is there a reason why
you're a little bit nervous?

- Huh?
- MAN: I had a 6:00 a.m. flight.

RIMOLA: Mm-hmm.

I didn't go to sleep
until about 8:30.

RIMOLA: Okay.

A lot of the times,
we have passengers who lie

because of their personal lives,

and they think that we're gonna judge 'em

or they think that we're
not gonna allow them in

because of a personal problem like that.

So that's when we have
to learn to separate,

to see if the person's actually nervous

because he might have two separate lives

or if he's actually coming in
to bring narcotics or, you know,

something ill*gal here
in the United States.

RIMOLA: So what kind of stuff did you
do while you were in Colombia?

MAN:
Actually, we didn't do much.

Stayed mostly at his apartment,
and that was it.

RIMOLA: Is he, like,
your boyfriend or something?

I mean, if it is, it's okay.
It is, I mean...

He is.

RIMOLA:
So he's your boyfriend?

Yes.

RIMOLA: Oh,
so you're gonna get married?

RIMOLA:
So why didn't you just say that?

- PUPO: You could've just said that--
- Because she asked if I was married.

I had to tell the truth.
I'm technically not married.

I was one time.

RIMOLA: Typical case, it's something
that we see every single day.

Passengers lying to us
for personal reasons,

but at the end of the day,

you know, we don't think
it's anything harmful in essence.

We don't think there's any type of threat,

we just let them go, you know?

Have a good one.

Keep going.

Next flight, next passengers.

How it is.

BONO: She says, "All right,
the real reason I went down there

is to see my sugar daddy."

It's 'cause I told her... I said,
"You paid $1,500 for airfare

to go down there
to save $75 on a cortisone shot?"

Complete [bleep].

BONO: She didn't?

No. It's dry.

BONO: Unless they flushed it.
I didn't hear...

RAIO: No, there's a bag in here.

BONO:
It's still the way it is?

- RAIO: Yeah, it's dry.
- BONO: All right.

Initially when she said she had to pee,

she was acting like she couldn't hold it.

So, she sits down on the toilet

and we waited, we waited, we waited,

and she did not pee.

So, that's when the little spidey senses
started kicking in.

ABREU: Why are you scared to pee?

VANACORE:
Okay. No need to be nervous.

We're just gonna pat you down.

ABREU: Okay?
You don't have to be nervous.

BONO: She's crying?

BONO: Oh, no!

MAN: I'm right here.

BONO: She passed out.
Call 911, get EMS here, please.

Get them into the pat-down room.

ABREU:
When we get to the pat-down room,

we're like, "Okay, just lift your hands up

and we will pat you down like that."

One of the officers got to touch here,
in her right breast.

That's when she just fell.

BONO: EMS is on its way.

ABREU: She slowly fell,
so she first sat down,

and then fell back,

so it was very Hollywood-ish.

You got to keep talking.

We have to know that you're okay.

BONO: First, we wanted to make sure
that nothing was really wrong with her

and she was not in really a lot of pain.

RAIO: You know what day of the week it is?

BONO: She knew
she had been caught in a lie,

and she realized
that this is not gonna work.

RAIO:
What medications do you take?

What are these medications for?

RAIO:
Okay. Well, we'll have an EMT,

they're gonna come here
and take a look at you,

but, uh, just so you know,
going to the hospital,

you're not gonna circumvent
this inspection.

The inspection will continue
in the hospital.

We'll escort you to the hospital,

we'll finish the inspection,
and then you'll be released.

RAIO: So, you sure you want
to go to the hospital, right?

RAIO: Okay.

BONO: In my mind, she's thinking that,

"EMS will come here. They'll take me.

"I'll avoid being inspected
by Customs and Border Protection.

"And whatever it is I have,

I'll be outside of their reach
and nobody'll find it."

I don't know why she thinks
that going to the hospital could save her.

MAN: Yeah.

BONO: No matter what happens here,
she's not going to avoid

this Customs inspection
being taken to completion.

RAIO: All right, why don't you sit up?
The officer will help you sit up.

ABREU: Go ahead. One, two.

[WOMAN GROANING]

ABREU: Why don't you lean up
against the wall?

Yeah, into her arms, so.

RAIO: Just tell us
what you're hiding, I'll help you out.

You need to cooperate.

That's what I told you
from the beginning, cooperate.

STEVE: Yeah, so the call has been made,

so we're just waiting to see
if we get an update.

[PHONE CHIMES]

STEVE: Okay, yeah, this might be the van.

It's turning around.

STEVE: Yeah, this is it.

STEVE: Yeah, that'll be our van.

It's pulling in the, uh, Panera right now.

There it is, right there.

STEVE: Yeah, we do.

STEVE: Hopefully she'll get back out
on the road

and we'll get her stopped.

RAIO: You sure
there's nothing inside your body?

'Cause at this point, your health
is my number one concern.

If it's in there,
you can die from it if it opens up.

It happens all the time.
I had someone die on me last week.

So, tell me now,
is there anything inside your vag*na?

RAIO: Listen! Listen to me!

RAIO: Listen. All right,
so what did he make you do?

RAIO: Okay. So,
I'm gonna have you stand up.

I'm gonna take those handcuffs off,

and if you can remove it, remove it.

If not, we will take you
to a medical facility.

Let's get this out of your body,
'cause it's dangerous.

They're trying to see
if she can remove it herself,

'cause her blood pressure's high,
she's diabetic.

The two female officers stood her back up,

and sure enough, on her body
was three or four balloons of cocaine.

She had them in her bra

and she also admitted
to having at least two... in her vag*na.

MAN: Oh, you can smell it.

BONO: That stuff is strong. Ooh!

[BEEP]

BONO: Boom. Cocaine hydrochloride, yeah.

Very nice job.

VANACORE:
She still has one inside.

She can't take it out.

BONO: She was only able
to extract one of the balloons.

She admits to having
at least one more in there.

RAIO: You're gonna go to the hospital
and, um, they're gonna do an x-ray.

BONO: The other balloon or balloons
that remain inside her

will be extracted
when we get to the hospital.

PUPO: How are you?
Let me see your passport. Good morning.

RIMOLA: You know, some days
you come across, uh, weird stories.

Oh, so you're coming here
for the first time to live?

RIMOLA: But every time I feel like
I've seen it all,

I come across something
completely different.

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

RIMOLA: So you were in Bogota?

RIMOLA: How long were you down there for?

Uh, yes.

You speak Spanish?

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

RIMOLA: Okay. Where did you stay
while you were down there?

Okay. What hotel?

What hotel?

RIMOLA: What do you do for work?

Journalist?

You're a little bit nervous,
that's why I stopped you.

Why are you so nervous?

RIMOLA: Okay, okay, okay.

The passenger stuck out. He's sweating.

Could be nervous for multiple reasons,

uh, possibly the language barrier,

or maybe what he went to go do
down in Colombia.

Why Colombia?

- Friends?
- Yes.

RIMOLA: How did you meet
your friends in Colombia?

Through the internet?

So, what? Girls?

RIMOLA: Is she your girlfriend?
What is she?

RIMOLA: And how did you meet her?
On what website?

Facebook?

RIMOLA: So, let me ask you a question.
So you met her on, like, a sex chat?

Your girlfriend.

RIMOLA: You sure?

RIMOLA: I'm giving you
the opportunity to be honest with me.

Ah, well.

What is that?

RIMOLA: It's all right.
Calm down. Just relax.

RIMOLA: A sheet?
What does that do?

Why--why would you put that on the bed?

RIMOLA: A sheet?

Why-- why would you put that on the bed?

PUPO: This is yours, too?

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

RIMOLA: Oh, wow!

So, what is this for?

This guy had a lot of, uh, sex toys,
masks, some weird black bag.

He says it's, uh, to be clean.

Yeah, you go prepared, huh?

So you went over there for sex?

Only sex.

I don't wear this, know what I'm saying?

RIMOLA: So why'd you take
the laptop to, uh, Colombia?

PUPO: We do encounter
a lot of cases of individuals

who traveled specifically
to Colombia for sex tourism.

Even though it is legal and regulated,

that does not deter us CBP officers

from inspecting individuals
and making sure

that there's no type of sex trafficking,

no type of child p*rn*graphy involved

in the acts that they're going
to do to Colombia.

RIMOLA: You're making me
a little bit nervous, man.

When I have passengers
that get me nervous,

I have to verify
what they were doing abroad.

RIMOLA: What? What is this?
What do you have in here?

RIMOLA: Why are you traveling
with hard drives?

RIMOLA: You got a lot of pictures?
You took a lot of pictures?

All right. I'm gonna check
the pictures in a little bit, okay?

We have the authority to check
every traveling passenger's electronics.

Sometimes you get messages, pictures,

so you kinda have more of an idea
of what kinda passenger we have.

Listen, man, you need to calm down, okay?

I have to check everything,

because you admitted to me
that you went over there for sex tourism.

So, now, am I gonna find anything
that is questionable?

Of young people?

RIMOLA: Is there?

No kids?

RIMOLA: Sometimes it takes
more digging through stuff

to kind of get a whole grasp of
and understanding of this trip.

I'm gonna check his laptop,

check all his electronic devices,
and find out the truth.

[SIREN WAILING]

BONO: This lady needs medical attention.

She was smuggling cocaine.

She has admitted to having
a balloon of cocaine inside of her,

which, if burst,
could be life-threatening.

All right, so you do know that
one of you, obviously a female,

- is gonna have to go in the room.
- VANACORE: Mm-hmm.

BONO: Because
once the narcotics comes out,

cannot be handled by anyone other than us.

VANACORE: Yes.

BONO: All right. Go out.
I'll be right there.

As of right now, at this very moment,

she is going in for a CAT scan.

It has to be determined where it is,

and then the doctors have to figure out
how to get it out.

In the grand scheme of things,

we certainly don't want anybody
to get hurt.

She is on a clock
if something is packed poorly,

so, uh, it's-- it's imperative
that it comes out.

DAVE:
So, we've got our white work van,

with a couple ladders on top.

Male and female driver.
They got out, walked into this business.

DAVE: All right.
Target vehicle going mobile.

DAVE: Let's move.

STEVE: He's gonna come out right here,
so watch your camera.

Put it down. Put it down a little bit.

He knows it's Home Depot now?

STEVE: All right, he just made a right
on this road behind Panera.

DAVE: There it is, right there.

OFFICER: All right, they're gonna go ahead
and put the blue lights on them.

[SIREN WAILING]

DAVE: She keeps reaching
around in the center console.

It looks like she's trying
to get something out.

[SIREN WAILING]

DAVE: She keeps reaching
around in the center console.

It looks like she's trying
to get something out.

All right, the GSP has, uh,
driver out of the vehicle.

STEVE: That's our girl.

DAVE: Was it loaded, or no?

DAVE:
There was a loaded .38 caliber p*stol

located in the center console.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

DAVE: All right, so he's running
the dog on 'em right now,

on the van.

OFFICER: Yes, so the dog alerted
on that back side door there.

DAVE: Oh, I see a box
on the ground in the back.

So it looks like they found it.

I mean, there's 20 packages,

so, just depending on
how much they weigh out,

I think we're
probably gonna be close to 25 kilos.

So, we're taking a female passenger
and the driver to jail.

You want him on this side?

DAVE: They'll be charged with trafficking,

and then the male will have
some firearms charges as well.

Everybody did
what they were supposed to do.

You know, it went
as fluid as it could have,

and, you know, we took a large quantity
of methamphetamine off the street.

Right now, we're just going down
to the precinct.

I'll see about getting a test kit,
we'll test the drug,

see if it's methamphetamine.

Very good for law enforcement today
and not so good for the bad guys.

The foreign object,
it was not coming out at all.

- ABREU: And it hardened.
- BONO: I see.

ABREU: The moisture of the vag*na
seeped in through the bag

- and hardened the cocaine.
- BONO: Okay. All right.

The doctors... They couldn't take it out.

BONO: There is still a balloon there.

The longer it stays in her,
the greater the risk.

That is where we stand at the moment.

So now all we're doing is waiting.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Wait.

Nicole said,
"The doctor was able to extract

the last balloon from her."

They've been in touch with Terminal 4,
so everything is good.

So, I'm just waiting
for our two to come out,

+then we'll be on our way back.

RIMOLA: All right, so I'm gonna take
these hard drives too, all right?

You have the same pictures here?

So, what kinda material am I gonna find?

Is there gonna be anything bad?

RIMOLA: No? Okay.

Unlock the computer.

PUPO: For us, there's a fine line
between sex tourism

and child p*rn*graphy.

RIMOLA: This computer is so jam-packed
with stuff that it's going slow.

PUPO: Oftentimes,
these people go to other countries

to pursue sex tourism,

but pursue it with somebody
who's of a younger age.

'Cause he's got so much
and it's in a different language.

Actually, I'm gonna ask him
to see if he can change it to English.

Can you change the language to English?

It would make it so much easier for me
if you just do that.

I guarantee you he has
a file somewhere, though.

This guy's a smart dude.

Oh, wow!

What is that?

How many women did you have
relations with on this trip?

One?

I see a lot of pictures
of a lot of different women.

These are more graphic pictures.

We're gonna go to another room, all right?

Just follow her.

[BLEEP]

He had a lot of explicit pictures,
sexual pictures,

a lot of pictures of women.

PUPO: That's his girlfriend.

- In Colombia?
- Yeah.

Was she a minor?

He's not gonna tell me
she's a minor, obviously.

It wouldn't surprise me.

There's [BLEEP] different women, too.

Into like kids, but, I mean, it's...

PUPO: No, another chick.

RIMOLA:
He's got so much that it's like...

Mm-hmm. And then, like,
these chicks, like, they kiss.

Go back.

- RIMOLA: This one?
- PUPO: Hmm, yeah.

He has pictures here where he, like,
has her, like, hold up her ID.

Yeah, how old she is.

RIMOLA: No, no, nothing.

He had a lot of pictures of women,

I would say, in their 20s, 30s.

So putting everything together,
looking at the pictures on his phone,

we came to the conclusion

that it wasn't child p*rn*graphy
what he was into.

I found nothing. You are good to go.

PUPO: We're not the moral police.

We don't care
about people's personal lives,

as long as they don't intervene
with our job.

And our job is to stop
any type of narcotic,

any type of terrorism,
any type of child p*rn*graphy,

anything ill*gal that may come
into the United States.

RIMOLA: Thank you for being patient.

DAVE: Oh, there it is.

So the blue indicator means
that it's positive for methamphetamine.

Obviously, it came from Mexico.

The way they smuggle this stuff,

they smuggle it through the airports,
through airplanes.

They may hit several different, uh,
airports on its way to Atlanta.

There's big business in that.

There you go.

So, that's a kilo.

- Those are some big shards, too.
- MAN: I know.

DAVE: We were able to determine
that pretty much each package

has a little over a kilogram
of methamphetamine,

so we're probably looking anywhere between


DAVE: We may have gotten 25 kilos today,

but there's probably hundreds of kilos
that are sitting around the area

that we're not gonna get,

and they're gonna make it...
make their way to the streets.

Now, we're gonna do everything we can
to get every last bit of it,

but it's just a...
It's a never-ending battle right now,

so we're doing all we can.

RAIO: Just bring her
into the PD room area

and we'll get a wheelchair.

BONO: The passenger is okay.

There was no side effects
or no lasting damage.

She was released into our custody
to be brought back here

to Terminal 4 and be turned over to HSI.

Paperwork's good
and I brought an extra copy.

Beautiful.

OFFICER: How you doin', all right?
Long day?

BONO: She has admitted
she had done this a few times prior.

She has to go through
our judicial system now,

and I'm sure she's going
to learn a valuable lesson

and move on from this and learn from it.

Passports out, everyone!

Passports out!

BONO: Have your passports out, please.

All in all, we were able
to keep drugs off the street.

It's not an easy job.

It's just a driving determination
that I have,

and the rest of the team has,
to stop this.
