02x12 - Mobile Meth

[bunniefuu]

CREITOFF: With the COVID pandemic
taking place right now,

the demand for narcotics
is here in the United States

and the supply based off our proximity
to where we're working is in Mexico.

What were you doing in Mexico?
You cross a lot?

Yeah.

So Nogales is the entry point for
the cartel to get their product across.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

Down here in vehicle primary,
this is the first line of defense.

[BOTH SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

- GARCIA: They have spotters over here.
- Through the red line. Spotters.

The cartel, they wanna see how we search
what we search.

So they have people that watch
how we inspect cars.

Oh, yeah, yeah, he's looking down here
with binoculars.

He's looking and now
he's walking back over.

They're on the phone sending text messages
like, "Hey, go through this lane,

or don't go through this person
because they're checking this."

So if we see a spotter we know,
hey, be more mindful,

be more paying attention because
there's probably a load

that's gonna be coming through.

- Hello, how are you?
- I'm good, how are you?

- Good. Where you going today?
- Back to Phoenix.

- You live there?
- Yes.

- Where you at in Mexico?
- I was in Tampico with my uncle.

- For how long?
- Just a day.

- A day?
- Yeah.

Vacation or what?

No, I just gone to see him
and some of my cousins.

When was the last time that you crossed?

Um...

Like a month ago maybe.

Yes? Have you drove over
in this car before?

Uh-uh.

- Is the car in your name?
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

It should be.

All right, follow me.

Going to turn off the vehicle.

It was a new plate, no crossings,
but lives in Phoenix.

Nervous behavior in the vehicle.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

A lot of younger females
are kind of the trend

and especially going
a little further away like Phoenix.

It's kind of like you drove three hours,
you waited in line for another three hours

and if you were not really down
for that long,

that's a little discrepancy.

Do you take full responsibility
of everything in this vehicle?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- How much money are you carrying with you?
- I think, like, five bucks.

All right, go and open up the hood,
the trunk.

You're gonna leave your cell phone
up here at the top.

Bring your five dollars with you.

The hood, if you could just open the hood.

You don't know how to open it?

If you don't know, that's all right.
We'll figure it out.

All right, you're going to follow me
real quick.

Is there a restroom here?

No, there's not a restroom.

How long were you waiting in line?

I wasn't checking, to be honest with you.

Oh, okay, got you.

Usually everyone knows
how long they're in line.

She fits our profile,
what we're looking for.

So we gotta check the subject's vehicle

and then we'll see
what happens from there.

PANZARINO: Monthly, 20 to 30,000 cars
leave this port.

From all around the country,
they end up here and they go out.

And stolen car trade is very big.

I've always loved cars,

I was a mechanic
for probably almost 20 years

and then I've been with CBP for 15 years.

It's easier to steal a car now
than it was 20 years ago.

All these cars now, they don't have keys,
they have key fobs.

And you'd be surprised

how many people just leave that key fob
in their car at night.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO]

Okay. Just got a hit.

My vehicle is equipped with a GPS tracker.

Some of these cars

have an auto theft GPS unit installed
on that car,

and it'll set off my unit
that's in my car.

FEMALE DISPATCHER: Stolen vehicle
contact proceed.

And it looks like it's gonna be
this Mercedes right here.

[CAR INDICATOR BEEPING]

First thing I look at is the VIN
that's on the windshield.

It's called the vehicle
identification number.

All cars have it right there.

Okay, 5594.

The VIN's matching up to my alert.

Looks like they started pulling apart some
panels in the roof looking for the GPS.

A lot of times, the thieves will try
to disarm that GPS.

But in this case, they never found it
and we were able to hit on this

and track this car down.

And I wanna look further now.

Not every car has an anti-theft device,

so I want to go down and walk the cars.

You have to dig.

I look for any abnormalities
that would make me believe

that it's a possibly stolen car.

The eyes are trained.

All the money that these guys make
off of these cars funds terrorism,

the narcotics trade.

This is a good one.

It's not going to charity, these cars.

There's something wrong there.

The public VIN,
it's... it's... it's worn away.

The barcode is... is... is damaged.

When I see something like that,
we go further.

Some cars have another VIN
stamped into the floorboard.

Where the VIN is supposed to be stamped,

there's a covering glued on top
of where the VIN is.

But it is not factory,

what I'm taking off right now
on the floor of this car.

Yep, the numbers are ground off
underneath here to conceal the VIN.

It's another sign that
the car might be boosted.

Right now, we're gonna seize these cars.

So they can't go on the ship,

and I'll research it more
when I get back in the office.

ACEVEDO: New York City is kind of

an epicenter for
the international art scene

and as a byproduct of this,

we've been interdicting stolen art
and antiquities coming into JFK.

!sis and people who are catering
to that t*rror1st organization,

are ransacking archeological sites
in Syria and in Iraq

and then selling them
on a very lucrative black market.

My grandkids call me Indiana Jones

because I'm a supervisor
for a special projects team.

We stop these shipments,
we coordinate with foreign governments.

And the outcome
that we all would like to see

is a stop to this type of activity.

Today, we have a particular shipment
that we're looking for.

We were tipped off
that this particular crate

potentially could have artifacts
that lack provenance.

Yeah, I think this is our crate here.

- It's from...
- U.K.?

U.K.

Okay.

ACEVEDO: Provenance is
the documentation of the history

of that particular artifact.

We want to find out if that piece
was legally exported out of the country

it originated out of.

Come on, guys, we're gonna take it
to the room. See what we got.

And hopefully the archaeologist
can tell us what we're dealing with.

Just be careful.
Just put it over here for now.

This is the one
that's usually wedged in tight.

We got something here. Ooh.

We got an eye I'm looking at.

Wow, this is a nice piece.

Oh, my God.

It looks like...
It looks like a funerary mask.

Wow. Look at that.

It fits perfectly. Beautiful.

ACEVEDO: Be very careful.

GARCIA: Since Corona hit,
the trend right now is meth and fentanyl.

The cartels trying to test different means
to bring that drug across.

That's why they have spotters trying
to figure out how the officers operate.

Nothing.

Interesting.

WOMAN: No?

She has two tags.

- There's another one under.
- All right.

She does have copies of two plates,

which they usually change them out
so we can't track them.

She's asking to go to the restroom
as soon as I brought her down.

At this point, there's probable cause
that she might have something.

- What is it?
- She's from Phoenix.

She went to go visit a family.
She was there for a day.

She has a new plated car
and she has two tags.

Which vehicle was she in?

GARCIA: She was in a Mitsubishi.

- Mitsubishi?
- GARCIA: Yes.

- Nothing.
- 'Cause they may just turnaround

- and change the plate.
- Right, yeah.

She's asking to go to the restroom.

I asked, "How long did you wait in line?"
She go, "I don’t know."

I wasn't paying attention to the time.

Since Corona hit,
we saw a lot more body carriers.

So there's possibly something on her.

Somebody asking
to go to the restroom a lot,

it's almost like
they want to dispose of the product

before we actually get into there.

Better get on.

All right.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

We're just gonna search and make sure
you don't have anything on you.

Oh, nice. All right.

Actually I need to pee.

No, as soon as we're done here,

we're gonna see what we can do
to get you to a restroom, okay?

You could take a seat, okay?

I didn't feel anything.

We patted her down and she was negative.

So there's nothing there.

The pat down was negative,
but her story's all jacked up.

Who she's visiting, she didn't know
their last name, she doesn't know nothing.

- Wow. Nothing.
- Yeah, nothing at all.

She said she visits about
once a month with her family.

She doesn't know who anybody is.

So there's still possibly
something inside of her.

She really has to go to the restroom,
so we're gonna take her.

Yeah, all right. We got to get her
in the vehicle right now.

We're just gonna take her to the restroom.

All right, so we're going
to take you to the restroom.

What we need from you is not to flush
or anything like that, okay?

- Okay.
- All right, cool.

Follow us that way,
we're gonna go over to the left.

- Right here?
- Yep.

Yep, to the left, yeah.

So I'm gonna need you to leave the door
open and just don't flush, okay?

GARCIA: She's acting so suspicious.

So we're putting a K-9 on the vehicle.

OFFICER: This is my dog, Roki.

I believe the K-9 is probably
the best tool we have.

Because the cartel,
as they're getting more desperate,

they're going from these big loads
to smaller loads,

where it's harder for us to detect.

Up.

Stuff that we... we won't see,
the K-9's gonna let me know,

and then we'll search it from there.

Good boy.

Here.

GARCIA: All right, you're gonna
follow me real quick.

You can take a seat, okay?

So, we took her to the restroom.

We didn't see anything,
hear anything, nothing like that.

So she doesn't have drugs internally.

I'm gonna let her go.

We did everything on her.
She fit our profile perfectly.

Her story did have holes in it,

as well as all the other red flags I had.

But it wasn't there.

All right, you're good to go.

Just close everything, okay?

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

The cartel, no matter what,

they focus on bringing drugs across.

We're not always gonna get them,
but we can't stop checking them.

ACEVEDO: All right,
let's get this packed up.

It appears to be ancient Egyptian.

Egypt saw a lot of pilfering and robbing
from archaeological sites

during the spring uprising.

That particular artifact
is a good prospect.

There's a small piece wrapped in there.

That's beautiful.

It appears to be Mesopotamian.

Usually, when we're looking
at ancient Mesopotamian pieces,

there's usually a lot of damage.

This is a really, really good specimen
right here.

No cracks, no fissures, no chips.

Something that we get don't get to see
too often.

- There's another one here.
- Yeah, I see it.

What is that?

This looks like a little piece.

Oh, nice.

It's an Egyptian piece, it looks like.

- You see the hole there?
- CHOPRA: Yes.

This looks like it's an amulet.

CHOPRA: Very nice.

ACEVEDO: Let me take some pictures.

We're gonna photograph it
for the subject matter expert

to figure out what we're dealing with
more specifically.

It will give us, hopefully a date
and time reign of that particular piece.

- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
- One, two, three.

Okay. Got it.

- One, two, three.
- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

Got it.

These pieces kind of look legitimate.

We've run into fake stuff previously,

so we're always very cautious that we may
be dealing with a counterfeit artifact.

The experts have the final say.

They'll look at it and they'll let us know
whether that's real ancient artifacts.

And then from there, we have to figure out

if that particular shipment is violative
or ill*gal.

It's really delicate.

I don't wanna be the guy that has to say
I broke this piece by accident. [CHUCKLES]

CHOPRA: That's history,
we don't want to break that.

I don't think I can afford
to buy a new one.

All right, let's go lock it up.

PANZARINO: I found six cars
that were stolen.

Today, the cars are getting turned over
to New Jersey HSI

and we're gonna get them back
to the rightful owners.

- Six altogether, right?
- Five now and then sixth is the Mercedes.

PANZARINO: Right over here.

- Take your pictures.
- Okay.

- Pop all the VINS off.
- Yep.

I went through the cars already
but we'll go through them one more time.

Okay, make sure.

MICHAEL: I'm a full-time
task force officer with Homeland Security.

My main job is to do stolen cars.

Anything we find in the car
that might possibly link the...

the suspect to the vehicle,

we try to grab and put into evidence,

and then further our investigation
down the line.

A lot of stuff in here today.

Sometimes they leave IDs
or some paperwork.

Does it look like real titles or not?

I don't know.
It's hard to tell, it's just a copy.

Oh. Parking tickets.

So, we get someone
to start running the dog?

Yeah, he's gonna do it now.
You gonna start running the K-9?

All right. Let's start it now.

[EXHALES] Get ready to hit on every car.

We're looking for any types of contraband,

it could be weapons, it could be narcotics
that are still inside the car.

Drugs could be hidden in any compartment,
there's a lot of traps in vehicles.

GUBERNAT: Come, bubba.

MICHAEL: They can smell the gunpowder,
so if there's g*ns in the vehicle,

we can make sure everything's clear.

Hey. [CLICKS TONGUE] There we go.

What do we have there?

- Found it?
- The dog see anything?

GUBERNAT: Psst. Good boy.

What do we have here?

- The dog see anything?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

GUBERNAT: Good boy.

- Boom.
- [ALL LAUGHING]

Up, heel.

This case here, it's medical marijuana.

So the dog hit on that in the car.

We're gonna remove that from the car,

and then we just let the agents know,
so anything that's on this,

that they can identify people with,
they will.

PANZARINO: It's gratifying.
We got these cars just in time.

If you look just over this building,

that's the ship
that these cars were gonna go on.

They almost made it out.

But, uh, I found them just in time.

All six of these, all street steals, yeah?

The thief didn't get away
with what they were doing.

The sheriff's office is taking the cars,
they're gonna go to their impound yard,

and then proper notifications get made,
and they get returned to the owner.

Yeah, it's a contest. It... it really is.

It's a contest between me and them.

I like to think I'm winning,
but who knows.

- OFFICER: Almost done, almost.
- Looking good, looking good.

We're about to look at
a shipment of interest

that we detained that has some red flags.

There were things that Customs didn't like

about the description of the artifacts
in the shipment.

Over here.

There's a potential that we're looking
at something very, very old.

Right here's good.

We're gonna need a drill.

When a shipment comes in
and we examine that shipment,

we have no idea
what's gonna be beneath that lid

when we crack that crate open.

Just put it back here.

Just be careful.

It's a little nerve-racking handling
this stuff

because you don't wanna be that guy
that breaks something that's priceless.

Wow.

Definitely not your grandma's
antique China.

Nobody here is really a definitive expert

but essentially what we're looking at here
on the table

are Egyptian canopic jars.

They're beautiful.

What these were used for
in ancient Egypt was,

during the mummification process,

certain organs in the body
were considered sacred.

Canopic jars always come in set of four.

Usually what would happen
is one jar would get lungs,

another jar would get
stomach and intestines,

you know, spleen, liver.

The only organ that didn't seem to get
placed in a jar was the heart.

The heart was kept in the body

because it was considered sacred
repository of the soul.

So, what you would normally see
is these four jars

somewhere in the burial chamber
with the mummy,

getting him ready for the afterlife.

So essentially what we're looking at,

we're looking at some very,
very old artifacts.

Probably 2040 to 1782 BCE.

The hands that made that have been gone
for a long time from this planet.

As of right now, I don't know what
the true value of the shipment is.

So the next step for the team is,

they'll take measurements
and photograph the pieces.

In this particular case,
we're gonna wind up sending these photos

to an Egyptologist that we work with.

That Egyptologist will try
to ascertain origin and age.

Now, our job is to figure out
if these jars left Egypt legally.

If there's possibility that these things

were smuggled out of the country
from Egypt illegally.

Then a criminal case may open up.

[BOTH SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

[BOTH SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

What is the purpose of your trip
to Mexico?

- [INDISTINCT]
- [CELL PHONE RINGING]

- What is your processor doing?
- He just came to pick up something.

[INDISTINCT]

MAN: Is there a problem or something else?

You're crossing
with large amounts of money.

Are you two working right now?

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

All right, just put your stuff
on the table here.

Your cell phones, your wallets.

Anything you're hiding?
No knives, something like that?

MAN: No.

Please sit down right there.

- We got two more.
- Okay.

GARCIA: Two males who frequently cross
were referred to me in secondary.

It did look like something was off.

They didn't have passports and they
actually had a large sum of money,

even though they don't currently
work right now.

[ALL SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

- In Tucson. [SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
- [MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

GARCIA: [IN ENGLISH] You guys bring
anything else with you?

[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

[INDISTINCT]

[IN ENGLISH] What kind of drugs
are you bringing?

You don't know?

Where's it at?

Who?

GARCIA: You don't know?

- Here in the shoes.
- In your shoe?

This one. He's saying
he has drugs in his shoe, so...

Okay.

I was pretty shocked.
Just like you gave up

and kind of just let me know
that there's something there.

OFFICER: Just for him?
GARCIA: Both of them.

- Both?
- Yeah.

- OFFICER: Who wants first?
- [BOTH LAUGHING]

They started laughing, I was like,
"Okay, it could either be a nervous laugh

or it can be like you really do have it."

Just go back and have a seat.

OFFICER: Next up.

OFFICER: Go in.

GARCIA: You said
you were bringing drugs, right?

It was a joke.

OFFICER: You can't joke around that way.

No, he just told, I'm like, "All right."
Well, I won't do it again.

GARCIA: Turns out
they didn't have anything,

that they were just taking it as a joke,

but who jokes about drugs
at an international border? [LAUGHS]

We're actually going to let them off
with a warning this time,

but any other false statement
at the border

could lead to serious repercussions
or jeopardize their ability

to cross again in the future.

OFFICER: You're free to go now.

- Gracias.
- All right, boys.

Customs and Border Protection Tact
Command Center.

MINIATIS: Here in the command center,

we try to maintain strong security
throughout the port.

It looks like we have some
suspicious activity over in GCT.

All right. So we'll pull it up.

MINIATIS: We're able to review
live footage

throughout the New York
and New Jersey area.

And any time something looks suspicious,

we can intervene
and get to the bottom of it.

So this is right outside
the security gate,

over in Staten Island.

That driver is stopped
in the middle of the lane.

Uh-huh.

MINIATIS: He just took the seal off
that container,

and he's going into it.
Can you see what's in there?

I can't see what's in there,
but he's in there a long time.

MINIATIS: Yeah, there's no reason why

he should've opened up
the container at all.

If you break the seal,

you're either looking to steal something
out of the container,

you're looking to introduce something
into the container for export.

I'm gonna have security
stop that container.

Let the guys know to get over
to Staten Island,

and have that container pulled off.

That container was going
to the Dominican Republic.

We're always on the lookout for currency
leaving the United States,

especially countries of interest
like the Dominican Republic.

The rule of thumb is always,
drugs in, money out.

So we need to find out.

We brought the container, uh,
over to the warehouse.

As you can see,
right at the front of the container,

we... we have a vehicle.

There's three vehicles
inside that container.

All three of these
came from the salvage yard.

People overseas love these cars,

because what's worth four, 5,000 here,
they could sell it for seven, 8,000 there.

We're still going to check
to see if the vehicles are stolen

because that is always a threat
in the outbound environment.

Up.

Clear.

Currency or narcotics was not found
in the container,

so we're gonna turn our attention
to the vehicles.

Come on.

This was the first car in the container.

This is the first car
he would've been down to.

OFFICER: We're looking for anything
that looks out of the ordinary.

So this officer's dog specializes in this.

- All clear.
- All clear?

All clear. Next up.

This canine specializes in narcotics.

So we're just gonna screen the vehicle
for any presence of that odor.

OFFICER 2: Good boy.

All right, we got two more.

OFFICER 2: Found something.
OFFICER 1: Found it?

- What happen?
- OFFICER 2: He alerted.

OFFICER: What is it?

- He alerted.
- What is it?

Primarily, right up under here.

OFFICER 1: Under here.
OFFICER 2: See if we can find it.

COCCIOLILLO: This is
a handheld X-ray machine.

If there was a brick inside of here,
I'd be able to see.

It's stuck. Take a look at that.

OFFICER 1: Is it stuck?
OFFICER 2: Yeah.

That's stuck inside it.

Can your hand get in?

- Vape pen?
- Yeah, two vapes in there.

- What do we got there?
- It might have THC in it,

but we won't know unless we test, so...

- Do you have it tested?
- Yeah.

Maybe that driver took a couple of hits,
discarded them in the vehicle

and then got back on the road.

In the meantime though,
we're still going to check to see

if the vehicles are stolen.

The VINs that are visible to us
come back to a vehicle that is not stolen.

But the guys are looking
for the confidential VINs

that are hidden within the vehicle.

I discovered the two vape pens.

They took the cartridges out.

Then what happened was they popped
positive for presence of THC.

So now I get stuck with doing
the paperwork for the seizure.

I always say it's easy to find,
like, 100 pounds of marijuana.

But it's really difficult to find
this little bit, right?

- So, good job.
- Thank you.

- MINIATIS: All good?
- Yeah.

MINIATIS: All right.

The bottom line is that that driver
should not have been in that container.

The three vehicles that we searched,

none of them came back as stolen vehicles.

But we did come away with a seizure.

A small amount of THC in a vape pen
or 100 pounds.

But we did what we're trained to do.

- JJ: How you doing?
- Fine, thank you.

Good.

JJ: Let's go to work.

OFFICER: Where, Keef?

Negative.

This one's got a temporary tag,

so she must have just gotten this vehicle.

How long have you had the truck?

WOMAN: One month.
OFFICER: One month?

- Have you crossed in the truck before?
- Almost everyday to work.

OFFICER: Yeah?

All clear.

Okay, have a good one. Thank you.

This one might be good, you never know.

Keef, Keef. Where is it?

Where's Keef?

Up.

Good boy.

He's hitting underneath right there.

Good boy, Keef.

My K-9 alerted on a green Ford Expedition.

It was a female subject who was driving.

She said she was coming
from visiting her father,

so I asked her what neighborhood
in Nogales

and she didn't know.

To me, it kind of raised a red flag

and then she stated that
the vehicle wasn't hers.

So all those things put together
with the dog alert,

that kind of gave us a green light
to inspect further.

Now we're going to move the vehicle
to the secondary area.

The female was a US citizen
that came across,

another officer came in
and, uh, he escorts her

into the secondary area where she waits.

Until we're finished
searching the vehicle.

We've been getting drugs in the dash,
in the gas tank,

in the seat, in the floor.

We're gonna check the rest of the vehicle
with my density reader.

Make sure there's no drugs in the vehicle.

Oh, yeah.

We got high readings on the spare tires.
The density's being a hundred.

It's supposed to be, like, 40, 50.

Yeah, I want to take a look it right now.

[INDISTINCT]

Oh, yeah.

That's a pretty big load.

Oh, yeah, it's a pretty big load. Yeah.

15-3.

Copy, thank you.

This is a pretty significant load
right here.

Yeah, they're a little crunchy.

Most likely that's meth. Majority of it.

It used to be marijuana,
meth has taken over.

We don't see marijuana anymore.

Then we get some little bit of coke,
a little bit of heroin mixed in there.

Gonna be a lot.

Before in the past,
they used to put 'em on all the tires.

Now they just,
to get something across real quick,

make it real easy,
they just throw it on the spare tire,

and try to get it across.

From here, we're gonna be testing it
to see what it is.

These are the packets
that were accidentally cut

as we were opening the tire.

Is that meth?

It was positive for meth.
That's what it is, methamphetamine.

The individual that was moving it across

most likely doesn't know what they had
in the vehicle, how much, or what it was.

They probably get paid three
to $500 or less,

to bring the drugs across and they don't
even know what they're bringing.

For this seizure, we have 69 packages
of methamphetamine.

34.6 kilos.

It is important that we get these loads
because they could cross these every day.

And this adds up, every day,
every day, every day.

It's not just going to be one driver,
it could be ten to 15 per day.

So good for us that we caught this,
we took it off the streets.

We had subject matter experts
review our pieces.

It appears that funerary mask

is definitely a bona fide
Egyptian funerary mask.

From the Roman period.

The smaller statue with the eyes,
the blue eyes,

that actually turned out to be
a Mesopotamian piece

from a particular region
of central Iraq called Diyala.

That definitely is a very old piece. Um...

we're looking at maybe,
you know, four to...

four to 600 BCE.

And that much smaller piece was an amulet,

it's definitely made out of faience.

It came from an ancient city
called Mendes in ancient Egypt.

So, all three pieces
turned out to be authentic.

We haven't been provided documents to show

that they were exported legally
and legitimately.

And we will go through the process
of starting to seize them.

Okay, great.

The shipment,
it was described as canopic jars.

We had subject matter experts
look at the particular artifact.

It actually came out of a site
that has been known

to have been pilfered
to some great extent, uh,

during the Arab Spring in Egypt.

Right now, the Egyptian authorities

are stating that the piece did not leave
their country legally.

Officially, the jars are transitioning
from being detained by customs

to now being seized by customs.

We will refer this
to Homeland Security investigations.

They will open up a criminal case,

and then at some point,
HSI and CBP will take part

in returning that artifact back
to its rightful country.

It's their right to determine
what happens to their cultural treasures.

It makes us feel good to know
we're returning that cultural artifact

back to the country that it belongs to.

At the end of the day, we're helping
that country safeguard its history.



- All done?
- Yes.

Just run the drugs up to the incinerator,
get rid of them.

Okay.

When the US attorney's office

has determined that that evidence
is no longer required,

then we get permission
to proceed with destruction.

- What do we have?
- We have six boxes. It's all in there.

All narcotics seized at the port of entry

are burned in this incinerator here.

OFFICER: Let's go.

The incinerator will handle
about 1,200 pounds an hour.

It can get to about 1,750 degrees,
so when it comes out at the end,

it comes out as ash.

We're here to ensure
that all the narcotics

are removed from the streets

and make sure that it's been
totally destroyed.
