It wasn't a great time to be
a Muslim in New York City.
Trust me.
But the Bureau made me feel
like I belonged,
like I was a part of the family.

Hey, folks, NYPD asked us for help
regarding a potential hate crime.
So listen up.
-year-old Kosey Khan,
a Pakistani student here
on temporary visa,
had his throat slit last night.
His younger brother,
Amir, was also stabbed,
and he is currently in surgery.
Let's talk about
what we know about the victims.
Yeah. Kosey was enrolled in Columbia,
an engineering major at . GPA.
His younger brother, Amir,
worked at a local restaurant.
Doesn't seem to be here legally.
Neither appear to have
a social media footprint.
Mm-hmm. What about criminal history?
- Anything?
- None.
Not even a parking ticket.
So why them?
Why att*ck them at their home?
Right, hate crimes typically
happen out on the street,
so maybe there's a personal connection.
All right, so dig into
the victims' personal lives,
friends, neighbors, classmates,
anyone in their orbit
with hate-related priors,
or r*cist social media posts.
The answers are out there.
Let's find them.

Uniforms knocked

There cameras in this building?
Negative.
Place is as basic as they come.
Rent's cheap,

It's not the best neighborhood.
Doors stay locked.

that they were targeted.

It's definitely Russian,
but mine's rusty.
I can't translate it.
According to this Russian
translation program, it means,
"Dig three graves,
forest beast, revenge."
What the hell's that mean?
He wants revenge.
[SCOFFS] Thanks.
All right, so let's assume Rasul
still wanted to get this revenge.
The question is: on whom?
Hey, just got off the phone
with our legal attaché in Moscow.
The suspects were originally
from a rural village called Shatoy.
Apparently there was some
alleged m*ssacre back in .
Yeah, yeah, innocents
were ex*cuted by suspected
Russian OMON forces.
Houses were b*rned,
women and children.
Three of the listed victims
share the last name as Papa and Rasul.
Okay, so our suspects believe
their loved ones
were k*lled by Russian m*llitary.
Maybe that has something to do with
what they planned to use these g*ns for.
It says in this article I'm reading
that the Russian special forces
believed to be responsible
were under the direction
of Dmitry Borchin,
an ex-KGB officer.
Chechens refer to him
as "the Beast of the Forest."
"Forest Beast," that's what Papa said.
All right, that's gotta be our guy.
Throw 'em up. Here we go. Take a look.
Dmitry Borchin.
That's our suspect's target.
Where's Borchin now?
Uh, CBP is saying Borchin
arrived in the U.S. yesterday.
He's here with his wife and three sons.
I thought he was a w*r criminal.
Well, according to the NSA brief
on the incident, that's not the case.
Says there's a high probability
that Borchin and his troops
were used as Chechen propaganda.
Always two sides to every w*r.
What is he doing here now?
He's here for a private speaking event
on Russian-American relations
at the Lucas Auditorium
in Brighton Beach.
It starts in half an hour.
All right, get the team over there now.
Yup.

Dmitry, what do you make

What do I make of it? A lot.
But I take it you want
the five-minute version?
The truth is revisionist
history is more powerful
than you or I could ever know.
On its face, it's a narrative
told from the heroes affected,
but at its core, it's a propaganda tool.
I remember watching news
of the Cuban m*ssile Crisis
with my father and I asked him
why they were fighting.
He said, "Because America
put missiles in our backyard
but are pissed that we feign to them."
[CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]
- Get up.
- [GASPS] Oh...
Go, go. Get out of here.
And therein lies some of the problem.
It's complicated.
At its best, it's a healthy mixture
of cooperation and competition.
At its worst,
it's the calm before the storm.
Now, this is just my opinion,
but America is the real antagonist.
They make a decision
and expect the world
to agree with their choice.
When another country
makes its own decision,
they throw the red flag.
America made the first move.
Russia just countered them.
Yet we are the bad guy,
and they are the hero.
America is the real antagonist
in most situations.
This country
likes playing at big brother
to the rest of the world.
And we in Russia, we are offended.
We're just as capable
of making our own decisions
as they are to do
what is best for our country.
