01x03 - Hidden Heroin

[bunniefuu]

(music)

WALTER: All right, let's go.

Two days ago, Customs Border
Protection seized a parcel.

That parcel that was
intercepted contained
a controlled substance.

Later on tested for the
presence of cocaine.

The final destination
for that parcel was
the New York area.

Let's bring this inside.

I'd be careful opening
up that box, all right.

It's pistons, right?

THOMAS: One piston has
been drilled and tested
positive for cocaine.

There's two other pistons
that haven't been drilled.

We're probing all three
because it's not uncommon

to have what they
call a mixed load.

If you're going through the
effort to smuggle narcotics
across the border,

if you're importing
cocaine,

you may be importing a
small amount of heroin
as well, or fentanyl.

THOMAS: When it got to where
it was going, they were gonna
cut a steel piston in half.

There's some way that this
thing comes apart that
we're not thinking of.

I mean, if it was, if
it was threading, you'd
thread something and,

and pull it out like a
dent puller. You know?

It's like a puzzle.

They are creative in where
they will hide narcotics

and you have to think of
it as almost a challenge.

To anticipate their
ingenious method of
putting it in there

and how would you
take it out.

TAI: Let me see where
the plane is at. E6.

We're at the arrival gate
to meet a flight coming
in from Kingston, Jamaica.

Jamaica is definitely a
country of interest for
us because it acts

as a transit point for
ill*gal narcotics.

There have been several
seizures in the past.

OFFICER: Hey, how you doing?
PASSENGER: Good.

OFFICER: Are you
traveling alone?

OFFICER: Okay. Because
most people are here
for legitimate reasons,

you can't approach
everyone as though
they are, are guilty.

How you doing today, ma'am?

OFFICER: Can I see
your passport, please?

I'm a bigger guy. I
work out a little bit

so I know I have to approach
people a little bit more

of a kid in gloves just
because I don't want them

to be intimidated by my
presence. Speak English?

PASSENGER: Yes, a lot.
OFFICER: Just a lot?
Or a little?

PASSENGER: Yes, a little bit.
OFFICER: We'll say a lot.

By speaking with somebody
in a norm, calm,
comfortable manner,

you hope that they reply in
that way and we can begin
to at least assess

if this person is trying to
bring any harm or any
contraband into our country.

OFFICER: It's up in the
hill? It's kind of, is
it up in the hills?

Where Mo Bay is where
the beach and all the
tour attractions are.

OFFICER: Brownstown.

You have to go up
into the hills?

OFFICER: Up into the
mountain? You think or
you know?

He claims that he
went to visit his mother,

but we noticed he grew
increasingly nervous,

and hesitated
during questioning.

He just seemed a bit off.

How many people, how
big is that house?

OFFICER: Two bedroom?
How many people live
in the house?

OFFICER: Huh?

OFFICER: You don't live there.

OFFICER: Just your mom?

OFFICER: How long
she been there?

OFFICER: Some of his
responses and his behavior
are not indicative

of someone who is
traveling for tourism.

His story seemed off,
so we're gonna bring him
down to passport control,

have some more conversation
with him and have him
explain what he was really

doing in Jamaica, and take
a closer look in his bags.

Boss, keep your hands out
of your pocket, all right?
PASSENGER: Oh, sorry.

TWAROWSKI: I'm gonna
go ahead and inspect
that cargo.

That one's good.

This you can feel there's
nothing in there.

I'm a supervisor on ATCET
here at John F. Kennedy
International Airport.

We inspect everything.

We inspect aircraft.

We inspect cargo.

OFFICER: Negative?

TWAROWSKI: We work with
our narcotics dogs.

We do a lot of enforcement
blitzes where we just look
through bags,

tear things apart,
hopefully finding
narcotics or currency

or anything
t*rror1st-related.

RYAN: Get in there

We target our flights
and it's like, okay,
let's hit this today.

Let's hit this today.

Let's see what we can find.

There were things I saw,
looked like they could
have been narcotics.

I figure let's give
it a shot.

Turns out everything was fine.

No harm, no foul.

Some days we get lucky,
some days not so much.

You don't know if
you don't look.

TWAROWSKI: This unit gels.
We got a lot in common.

RYAN: Yes.

TWAROWSKI: I go to Comic Con
every year, in New York City.

He goes to Comic Con.

And two of the greatest
things in the world
came from Queens,

Spiderman and the Ramones.
You know, we enjoy our job.

RYAN: It's like a great
big game of hide and
seek, you know?

TWAROWSKI: When you find
that package that has a
load in it,

that's what it's all
about, you know?

AGENT: Here we go.

THOMAS: Ideally, this
whole thing would come
off if they wanted

to make it easy for
themselves. But it's not.

We were notified by, uh,
Customs and Border
Protection of a shipment

containing suspected cocaine.
It's coming into New York.

The parcel was brought here,
which is the extraction area
where we pull a sample

to confirm that it is
in fact cocaine.

AGENT: I wanna put
it here. Yup.

THOMAS: So, there's some
secret to it, you know what
I mean, that we don't see.

This is, um, it's one of
the better concealments.

AGENT: Nope.

THOMAS: There's some tool,
there's some form of
dismantling this piston

to get the cocaine out.

It's just determining
that method.

AGENT: See the inner one?
THOMAS: Yup.

AGENT: It's much softer.

THOMAS: Yeah, but then
you wind up with steel
shavings in your cocaine,

and you wind up
losing some to.

AGENT: Yeah, no, no, no.
So this has to get
pounded out somehow.

WALTER: The dangers
are simple.

We don't want any of
our agents exposed
to a narcotic.

We believe it to be cocaine
but we don't know

is it cocaine mixed
in with fentanyl.

'Cause we've seen
that happen.

Just a gram of fentanyl
could k*ll you.

A gram of fentanyl could
wipe us all out in this
room right now.

WALTER: Hey, hey,
come on, guys.

THOMAS: I don't want
it to get airborne.

WALTER: Stop! Stop! Stop!

(music)

WALTER: Stop! Stop!
Stop! Yeah, you got
powder. We got powder.

AGENT: All right.

WALTER: Nice job, guys.

AGENT: This one has more
packed material on it.

WALTER: It's almost like
carbon paper, right?

AGENT: Yeah, then you punch
through and you have some
foil and then lastly,

if you can see, this
blue right here, that's
just plastic.

WALTER: They wanna conceal
it in such a way that when
CBP does check it,

it looks, feels normal and
when they try to probe it,

it makes it difficult
for them to probe.

AGENT: We got to do
the other one as well.

Dude, we're knocking
all three.
WALTER: Yeah.

So they hope that CBP
will give up and say,

"Oh, this is too hard
to do." You know, it's
a win for them.

WALTER: Ultimately, this
parcel contained cocaine
in all three cylinders.

WALTER: This cocaine is
never gonna destroy any
lives, destroy families,

or destroy the communities
that, that it's gonna,
it's gonna reach.

THOMAS: That's the
box for delivery.

Don't destroy that box.

This is the box that the
original evidence came in.

So, we wanna keep the
box as it appears right now

without changing it or, uh,
destroying it.

We're preparing for a
controlled delivery,

which is an operation
where we'll take the
package and deliver it

as if it wasn't intercepted
by law enforcement,

and we're going to arrest
the intended recipient.

I think, uh, let's drop the
drugs and we'll get the.

WALTER: Get the bad
guys today.

RYAN: Right now, we're at
one of the many express
consignment warehouses

over here at JFK Airport.
You got it?

TWAROWSKI: Yeah.
RYAN: All right.

We're looking at
different shipments,
which have been targeted

as, uh, possible high
risk for narcotics.

TWAROWSKI: I've seen drugs
concealed in clothing.

I've seen drugs
concealed in food.

RYAN: Are we doing
some cooking tonight?

TWAROWSKI: Yeah. Might be.

RYAN: A little yellow
rice. I like it.

TWAROWSKI: I've seen drugs
concealed inside the boxes
that the shipment comes in.

RYAN: They'll load the
inside, the corrugated
part of the cardboard.

TWAROWSKI: You name
it, I've seen it.

RYAN: In clothing,
there'll be a package
where it's stitched.

People's creativity
never ceases to amaze.

Drug dealers, drug
distributers, they
need it fast.

They wanna get it out
quickly.

It's not always done,
you know, one bulk thing.

It's scattered like buckshot.

Send a lot of stuff out a
whole bunch of different ways.

If something gets caught,
maybe the other two
or three will get out.

Some days we have a good day
and we get all two or three.

The last time I was
involved with glitter,
the package exploded.

I think I'm still
pulling glitter out of
parts of my uniform.

TWAROWSKI: Yeah. I'm not
gonna be doing that.

RYAN: We have found
contraband inside footwear.

We'll probe it. We'll
make a small hole.

You're not gonna compromise
the integrity of the shoe
as you can see.

It's fine.

But if there's anything
inside that's not supposed
to be there, you'll find it.

All right. I already know.
The, just the weight.

When I was in college,
I worked in, uh, my
local deli.

If I'm slicing half a
pound of ham, I know what
a half-pound feels like.

They feel heavy, why?

Is it a heavier shoe?
Are they steel toed?

Is there something
crammed inside the sole?

TWAROWSKI: Sometimes
rather than just
looking on the surface,

you have to dig deep.

You gotta really get a good
look at what's going on.

RYAN: Nothing today.

Can't hit every
day, unfortunately.

OFFICER: What do you
do for work?

OFFICER: What did
you tell your boss?
PASSENGER: Hmm?

OFFICER: What did
you tell your boss?

OFFICER: But you were
there for how long?

OFFICER: That's more
than two weeks, right?

OFFICER: Let's go ahead
and grab your bag.

Grab your bag.

While we were waiting for
the bag, it was observed

that the passenger was
agitated.

He was unable to
have a normal stance.

Sometimes shifting his weight.

That's indicative of
someone who's nervous.

OFFICER: Come on.
Let's go. Follow me.

How much money you
got with you today?

OFFICER: Well, that
is a special bag.

How many bags did
you bring to Jamaica?

OFFICER: Oh. So the one
you brought to Jamaica
was a carry on.

What color was it?

OFFICER: It was green.
All right.

So, you got this bag
in Jamaica, right?

OFFICER: Is this a new bag?

Where'd you buy it?

Where'd you buy it?

Where'd you get this bag?

OFFICER: He would
hesitate to every
question I would ask him.

So, it led me to believe
that he was hiding something.

OFFICER: When you first got
there, she gave you this bag?

What happened to the bag
that you brought to Jamaica?

The green bag?

OFFICER: What happened?

OFFICER: Why? Why did
you not just bring
that bag back?

Why didn't you bring the.

OFFICER: Why?

OFFICER: So, when did
she buy you this bag?

OFFICER: Oh, she had it
waiting for you when you
first got there? Oh, okay.

OFFICER: Oh. Okay. Cool.

When you got there, she
already knew that your
bag was gonna be ripped?

OFFICER: Huh?

OFFICER: But you said she
had the bag waiting on you
when you got there, right?

Why did she know that
you needed a new bag?

OFFICER: So, she just guessed?

OFFICER: So, your mom really
knows you well, right?

To the point where she knew
that your bag was going to be
ripped before you got there,

to provide you with
this bag. Right?

The suitcase that he's
traveling with was
purchased by his mother

he was going to visit.

What makes that a little
bit odd is that it's
inconsistent with

the timeline of when
she purchased it.

It's just not making
any sense.

So, we're gonna do a more
intensive examination of
that particular bag

to see if there's
anything that could be
concealed within it.

WALTER: This is our box.

This mail parcel
contained three pistons.

Inside the pistons,
there was a unknown
white substance.

It later on tested
positive for cocaine.

About two to three kilos.

Today we're doing a
controlled delivery
at that location.

We're gonna have an
undercover going up to the
location to do the delivery.

Once I give the green light
to execute, we'll have the
takedown team do a slow roll

and at the same
simultaneously, we'll
have the rear security

team doing the same thing.

Safety is the most
important thing about
this operation, guys.

Any firearms at this
location we will be
seizing as well.

All right, guys,
let's get out there.

We're gonna deliver
this parcel to its
intended recipient.

What we hope to see is that
the intended recipient will
take this parcel

into that residence and
then we will execute
our search warrant.

You got the heavy vest?
AGENT: Yeah.

WALTER: All right.

We're hoping to find
more evidence of
smuggling narcotics

and narcotics transactions.

This parcel came from
an international country
into the United States.

All right. Let's go,
wait for the daylight!

And at the end of the day,
our primary function is to
protect the homeland

from those types of threats.

WITHROW: Excuse us. Canine.

Attaboy. Good job. Come on.

LD loves working
the exit line.

Everybody's got their luggage
and we have a better shot of
finding something really fun.

Excuse us. Thank you.

Excuse us.

Hold up.

Good job.

Do you have any
food with you today?

Any apple? Banana?

WITHROW: Jabuka? Kielbasa?

WITHROW: Okay.

We're looking for meat,
salad, plants and fruit.

Anything that could be
a potential threat to
American agriculture

is what we're looking for.

What you got, bud?

What kind of food
you have with ya?

WITHROW: Okay, where
you coming from? Oh,
New Zealand.

Very good. You have
any fruits with you?

WITHROW: Okay, very
good. Thank you.

That gal had meat pies,
which from any other country
would not be allowed,

but Australia and New
Zealand meat is allowed.

So, he gets a big ol'
handful of treats and she
gets to keep her meat pies.

Hold up. What kind of food
do you have with you?

WITHROW: Step
over here, please.

What's baby food? Apple?
Banana? Carrots? Celery?

WITHROW: Okay, do you
have your customs paper?

PASSENGER: Yeah.
WITHROW: Thank you.

They'll grab that from you
on the way out. Thank you.
PASSENGER: Thank you.

WITHROW: I'm gonna send
them to Agriculture.

They're gonna inspect it.

Agriculture will open the
bags, assess you and your
luggage, and off you go.

FERGUSON: Come on around the
other side with your cart.

Sorry, gonna open it up.
The heck is that?

You know what I think it
is, it's candied citrus.

I'm an agriculture
specialist supervisor and
as silly as it sounds,

I took an oath to protect
American agriculture.

To someone this is delectable,
but unfortunately it comes

from a country that has
foot and mouth disease.

I am the guy that protects
your food and sees some of
the craziest stuff

come into the United States.

You never know what you're
gonna end up with here.

Every day is a new adventure.

BESADA: So, this one
is a, uh, dead beetle,

considered an invasive
species here in the U.S.

and it was hitchhiking in
the passenger's luggage

and they can destroy
U.S. agriculture.

FERGUSON: LAX is the gateway
for Asia where a lot of our
black market's coming from.

Exotic animals,
exotic animal parts.

OFFICER: Is it like a
vegetable? Like, uh.

OFFICER: Oh, okay. Thank you.

Starfish? Starfish.

FERGUSON: Ninety-five
percent of all the things
that are found here,

it's not a smuggling thing
but it's that five percent.

And that five percent is
the one that really hurts,

because it's the possibility
of damaging the environment
here in California.

Thank you for declaring.
Safe trip down there, okay?

PASSENGER: Thank you.

RYAN: It's kind of dense.
Just, you know, take a
look-see. Could be food.

Could be something else.

TWAROWSKI: Got a call from
two of our officers who
were doing an inspection

on a consolidated cargo bag.

RYAN: Okay.

TWAROWSKI: Looked like it
was a pair of cowboy boots
coming from Guatemala.

Guatemala is a transit country
for cocaine and for heroin.

RYAN: All right.

Ta-da!

Ta-da!

TWAROWSKI: That's awesome.

RYAN: All right.
TWAROWSKI: That's it.

RYAN: The cowboy boots
felt unusually heavy,

and when I probed the
sole a white powdery
substance came out,

which, uh, then field-tested
positive for cocaine.

TWAROWSKI: That's beautiful.

Perfect.

RYAN: Yeah.

What I'm about to do now is
fight with these boots and
extract the drugs from them.

Sometimes you have to see
exactly how they put it
in there and you need

to make sure that you don't
cut into the product.

What, did they glue
it on the inside?

TWAROWSKI: That's what
it looks like, man.

Normally, we would extract
the narcotic from the
concealment.

But with these boots, they
were glued in there so tight,

anywhere that we tried to
rip or probe, cocaine was
coming out.

So, rather than risk losing
the narcotic and having
it all over the place,

we just decided to go
with, uh, you know,

we're gonna keep it
inside the concealment.

RYAN: Coming from Guatemala.

TWAROWSKI: Going to?
RYAN: Maryland.

TWAROWSKI: HSI Agents
are gonna come down.

They're gonna get in
touch with their agents
down in Maryland

and effect a controlled
delivery

and get a couple of
arrests out of this.

RYAN: Everything's
going to Maryland.

AGENT: Sounds good.
Appreciate it, brother.

You guys are great,
man. I love it.

RYAN: Yeah, have a good one.
Stay safe, guys, okay?
HSI AGENT: All right.

RYAN: Cowboy boots, sneakers.

We've seen drugs
in shoes before.

This particular shipment I
wouldn't classify as weird.

This is just a Tuesday.

TWAROWSKI: That's awesome.
RYAN: Yeah.

TWAROWSKI: We're back, baby.
RYAN: Yeah, that's it.

WITHROW: Don't listen to Mike.

FERGUSON: What are
you doing, pupper?

WITHROW: You got
him all wound up.

FERGUSON: I did not
provoke your dog.
WITHROW: Yes, you did.

Come on. What?

Let's go.

What you got, bud?

Get it. Get it.

Dude, what you got?

What? Another one? Okay.

I was walking around and
all of a sudden he just took
off running after this bag.

So, whatever it is that he's
interested in is probably
something significant.

So, we just wait and I
keep an eye on it and
then eventually go ask

the passenger what they have.
Which could be 30 minutes.

Because usually when he
finds a bag on the carousel

it's the last person
that comes down here.

We gotta keep on an eye
on your purple bag, buddy.

Come on. Pick it.

Nope.

Some flights it wouldn't
be worth it, but
for the Russia flight,

sometimes they have meat,
sometimes they have apples.

Last time it was
three kilos of guava.

So, there's a pretty
good chance there's
something in that bag.

So, it's worth it for
me to come out and sit.

Come on, let's go
check back over here.

I know. I know.

If I stand too close
sometimes they'll
just ditch it.

So, I wanna stand close to
it but not too close to it.

It's your typical government
worker, standing, doing what
looks like nothing.

Come on.

WITHROW: Okay.
FERGUSON: All right?

So, we're gonna go ahead
and we'll take the bags

so you can keep
working the flights.

WITHROW: Okay.

FERGUSON: Thank you,
little guy. Nice job.

The passenger is upstairs
in admissibility review.

That's where they'll
double-check their documents,
make sure everything is clear

for admissibility into
the United States.

So, we're gonna take that bag
upstairs and inspect it in
front of the passenger

to find whatever items
that LD has hit on.

You never know what
you're gonna end up with
in any of these bags.

We stopped the passenger
coming off this Montego
Bay flight.

There were a lot of, uh,
inconsistencies with, uh,

his story and the reason and
how he obtained the bag.

So, we decided to bring him
here for further examination.

The rivets have been
changed. These are
factory rivets here.

While checking the bag we
noticed, uh, a few anomalies
around the railing of the bag.

This metal that goes around
the bag is kind of thick.

Not normal. Not consistent
with this type of bag.

Once we saw the bag
and its anomalies,

we suspected that there
is a high likelihood of,
uh, uh, narcotics.

Coke.

You still wanna say
that your mom bought
you this bag, then?

OFFICER: So, your mom
didn't give you the bag?

OFFICER: Who gave you
the bag?

OFFICER: You still wanna
say that your mom bought
you this bag, then?

OFFICER: So, your mom
didn't give you the bag?

OFFICER: Who gave you
the bag?

OFFICER: I'm sorry,
what was that?

OFFICER: No comment.

We have a white powder
inside a plastic pouch.

We're going to test
it using this Gemini.

Make sure you keep your
eye over there, okay?

Coke.

We're placing you under
arrest for importation
of narcotics

in the form of cocaine.

The bag was obviously
loaded with cocaine.

We contacted HSI and advised
them of our findings.

And we're just gonna
turn over the evidence

and the person to them for
further investigation.

FERGUSON: Okay.

Dog hit on the bag. So,
that's why we're here.

What I wanna do is get one
of your officers to help
do a quick inspection

and see what's
inside this bag.

FERGUSON: While the
officers are making sure
the passenger's visa

is in order before entering
the United States,

we're gonna go ahead and
start an inspection so
that we can find

what she has in her bag
and why she has it.

Inside your bag, any food?

FERGUSON: Four, five. Six.
Seven. Eight. Nine.

Ten. Eleven.
Twelve. Thirteen.

FERGUSON: So it
makes sense, then.

Ahhh! No! Food.

FERGUSON: It's candy.

FERGUSON: So, the
dog hit on chocolate.

Okay. Thank you.

Uh, so, whatever processing
you're doing with her still
has to be done.

Could you let her know
that I'm gonna go ahead

and place this bag out in
front of the door, then?

So that way we're
good to go.

In this situation, it's
not really the chocolate
that the dog smelled,

but nuts that were
inside of the chocolate.

Chocolate is allowed.

So, at this point, all of
her items inside of her
bag are admissible

into the United States.

WALTER: We're heading now
to the target location.

Best-case scenario,
we're successful.

The suspected target
that we're looking at is,
uh, at this residence,

he accepts the package,
and we get to execute the
controlled delivery

successfully and safely.

Based on all the intel and
information we have received,
there might be some weapons

on the premises, and we're
planning for that.

This is what we trained.

And if they run, I got some
runners on my team as well.

That's awesome. Yes!

I like seeing that.
That I like to see.

There's still
deliveries happening
in the neighborhood,

so it's not gonna be
weird there's a
delivery at this time.

That's awesome.

Good stuff for us.

All units, be advised I'm
on the set with the uncle.

We're gonna attempt
this delivery.

He's gonna step out of my
car and walk on to the set.

JONATHAN: Yeah.
Copy. And I'm just
confirming from you,

it's the white house
along the fence, right?

WALTER: Yeah, yeah. It's
the last house. Right on
the dead end.

JONATHAN: Yup, perfect.

WALTER: One of the
codes I've used so far
is, uh, the word uncle.

That's the code for
our undercover agent.

When we execute this
controlled delivery,

we'll have two teams
going towards the front
of the location.

The one team is gonna
be our entry team.

The second team will be
the cover team for the
front of the location.

The, we have a third team
that's gonna be coming in

from the neighbor's
backyard entrance.

The agents and officers are
well trained and if there's
a fence they'll scale it.

If there's a roof,
they'll climb it.

Alight, all units, be
advised, uncle is live.

Stepping out of
vehicle in a second.

Uncle's out on foot.

WALTER: Uncle's
knocking on the door.

(police sirens)

Go, go, go!

(police sirens)

Police, search warrant!

Back door, back door!

Police, search warrant!

Get your hands up!

Push in, push in!

WALTER: Side door?
Side door!

I've got another one
down here!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Police! Hands up!

Everybody's secure inside?

-Yeah.
-Nice job.

JONATHAN: Come on, guy.
You need me on a roof I
get on a roof.

Yo, fat boy can move.
WALTER: I saw that.

I was like, "All right.
They got that, they got
that rear covered."

JONATHAN: Oh, listen, we
had the angle on the house.

It was all good.

WALTER: Phase one went
according to plan.

We were able to execute
the, uh, controlled
delivery at this time.

We have two females
in the residence, and one
that accepted the parcel.

JONATHAN: It's all
labeled, right? Word.
AGENT: Yeah.

JONATHAN: That's
all basement.

So, we found 11
9mm hollow point rounds.

Um, we found a bunch
of blank credit cards.

There was a credit
card punch machine.

So, obviously someone's
making fake credit cards.

There was a bunch of
glassines, a couple
small, little scales

which is commensurate with
people who are bagging up
and selling, uh, narcotics.

WALTER: Female agrees to
cooperate and talk to us.
AGENT: Okay.

WALTER: So, we're
gonna escort her back
to our office.

AGENT: Okay.

WALTER: For just an interview.
AGENT: Okay.

WALTER: So, we're gonna
interview one of the subjects
who we believe has more

information on what's
going on with this parcel.

She's willing to come
back and talk to us.

JONATHAN: Wanna go in my car?
WALTER: Go in your car.

JONATHAN: Okay.

WALTER: We know that this
location was being utilized
for the importation

of a controlled substance.
That substance is cocaine.

Based on that information
we're gonna continue
the investigation,

which should lead us
to the identity of the, uh,
supplier, um, from overseas.

Wrap it up. Nice job, guys.

We won't catch them today,
but we're very patient.

We'll catch them
at some point.

AGENT: The subject has been
placed under arrest for the
importation of cocaine

into the United States.

That's only one of
the packages.

We don't know what the
total weight or how many
other packages are in the,

the side rail.

We're gonna go ahead and
extract all the other packages
off the side rail here,

just to get a total
weight of the narcotic.

OFFICER: Four? That is four.

Looks like we got
everything.

Uh, we were able to retrieve
eight packages of the cocaine.

Here on the streets of Miami
a pound will be, probably
about $20,000 in U.S.

Well, this was
destined to Bermuda.

So, the price is gonna be
a lot more expensive over
there for the pound

We're now gonna hand him
and the bag over to HSI
for further prosecution.

BRIAN: Our agents contacted
the United States Attorney's
office and this case

has been accepted for
federal prosecution,

and the subject will be
charged with importation
of controlled substance

and possession with the
intent to distribute.
