Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,251 --> 00:00:03,038
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,943
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:07,024 --> 00:00:08,811
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,892 --> 00:00:11,646
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,728 --> 00:00:13,151
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,198 --> 00:00:16,009
Seriously, he got a friend
that works at the Garden.
7
00:00:16,033 --> 00:00:17,615
Eighth row tickets? For real?
8
00:00:17,701 --> 00:00:18,725
Yeah.
9
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:21,056
I gotta ask my mom.
10
00:00:21,138 --> 00:00:23,118
So ask her. She home?
11
00:00:23,574 --> 00:00:27,124
You crazy, Benicio? She ain't
gonna let me go out with you.
12
00:00:27,211 --> 00:00:29,794
Don't worry. I'll tell
her I'm going with Letti.
13
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,132
Okay. That's cool.
14
00:00:40,257 --> 00:00:41,680
That's cool too.
15
00:00:44,695 --> 00:00:46,015
Oh, my God!
16
00:01:03,847 --> 00:01:06,407
Whoever it was
came in hard and fast.
17
00:01:06,483 --> 00:01:08,736
Found what's left of a
kilo in the back bedroom.
18
00:01:08,819 --> 00:01:11,209
Two vics here, five
more in the back.
19
00:01:11,688 --> 00:01:12,906
Stash house.
20
00:01:14,558 --> 00:01:16,880
Looks like a shotgun
blast over here.
21
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:18,560
I guess these two
were watching the door.
22
00:01:19,129 --> 00:01:20,347
Any idea who they are?
23
00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:22,683
No ID's. We'll get
a hit on the prints.
24
00:01:23,133 --> 00:01:24,647
Any more drugs? Cash?
25
00:01:24,935 --> 00:01:26,051
Cleaned them out.
26
00:01:26,136 --> 00:01:28,594
There's an empty floor
trap in the bedroom closet.
27
00:01:40,284 --> 00:01:41,308
Damn.
28
00:01:44,121 --> 00:01:45,840
My God!
29
00:01:45,922 --> 00:01:47,777
Looks like this is
where the party was.
30
00:01:51,295 --> 00:01:54,515
EMS found one still
breathing. Another teenage girl.
31
00:01:54,998 --> 00:01:56,352
Shot? OD'd.
32
00:01:56,433 --> 00:01:59,483
She was covered in blood, but it
turned out to be somebody else's.
33
00:01:59,569 --> 00:02:00,753
Is she gonna make it?
34
00:02:00,837 --> 00:02:02,556
Medics said she's touch and go.
35
00:02:04,174 --> 00:02:06,996
Sabina Montgomery. Harpswood.
36
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:08,430
The prep school?
37
00:02:08,512 --> 00:02:09,866
They all went there.
38
00:02:10,113 --> 00:02:11,627
Melinda McKenzie,
39
00:02:15,118 --> 00:02:16,234
Brittany Walker,
40
00:02:17,721 --> 00:02:19,110
Maria Alvarez.
41
00:02:20,223 --> 00:02:23,807
Looks like Park Avenue is giving
Washington Heights a bad name.
42
00:03:16,346 --> 00:03:18,565
The doctor said all
we can do is wait.
43
00:03:19,082 --> 00:03:22,302
This must be very tough.
44
00:03:23,754 --> 00:03:25,711
Did you know where
your daughter was,
45
00:03:25,789 --> 00:03:28,111
what she was doing?
Who she was with?
46
00:03:28,191 --> 00:03:31,673
She told us that she was going
to a friend's house to study.
47
00:03:32,562 --> 00:03:35,543
Did you know that your
daughter was using drugs?
48
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:37,381
She doesn't use drugs.
49
00:03:37,701 --> 00:03:41,650
She's into sports. Swimming.
She does the butterfly.
50
00:03:41,938 --> 00:03:43,986
I didn't say she was
an addict, ma'am.
51
00:03:44,608 --> 00:03:46,622
Maybe this was the
first time she used drugs.
52
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:50,067
Maybe... Sabina has a 4.0 GPA.
53
00:03:50,547 --> 00:03:52,061
She's going to
Princeton in the fall.
54
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:54,163
Sir, excuse me for saying this,
55
00:03:54,251 --> 00:03:57,176
but those girls
were snorting heroin.
56
00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:00,772
Your daughter is being
treated for a drug overdose.
57
00:04:00,857 --> 00:04:02,377
Three of her friends
are in the morgue.
58
00:04:03,126 --> 00:04:06,574
This is all since she started
hanging around with that Hispanic girl.
59
00:04:07,297 --> 00:04:08,617
What Hispanic girl?
60
00:04:08,698 --> 00:04:10,314
Maria Alvarez.
61
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,652
A scholarship student.
62
00:04:11,735 --> 00:04:13,089
Is that a bad thing?
63
00:04:13,170 --> 00:04:14,684
It's just a different world.
64
00:04:14,771 --> 00:04:16,451
You know what I mean,
with different norms.
65
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:18,020
She's from that neighborhood.
66
00:04:18,141 --> 00:04:20,622
She must've taken
them to that awful place.
67
00:04:21,845 --> 00:04:23,131
I'll tell you what.
68
00:04:23,213 --> 00:04:25,466
When we go up to
that awful neighborhood
69
00:04:25,549 --> 00:04:29,475
to tell Mr. Alvarez that his
daughter actually died, I'll ask him.
70
00:04:29,553 --> 00:04:31,067
I'm gonna wait in
the car, all right?
71
00:04:33,123 --> 00:04:35,376
I hope your daughter
makes it, I really do.
72
00:04:44,701 --> 00:04:46,624
You asking did Maria
take them there?
73
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:48,319
I don't think so,
74
00:04:48,405 --> 00:04:53,059
but I also don't think that
Maria did drugs, either.
75
00:04:54,744 --> 00:04:55,996
So you didn't know?
76
00:04:56,513 --> 00:04:58,937
Maria was the last person
I would have suspected.
77
00:04:59,749 --> 00:05:04,369
Look, I lost a younger
brother to junk, okay?
78
00:05:04,454 --> 00:05:08,277
My boy, Javier, every day
the drug dealers hassle him.
79
00:05:09,259 --> 00:05:11,615
When Maria got into
this fancy prep school,
80
00:05:11,695 --> 00:05:14,984
I thought, "Hey, maybe
this is our ticket out of this."
81
00:05:17,334 --> 00:05:18,450
But no.
82
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:21,189
No. Our Mayor
says crime is down.
83
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:24,586
Well, he doesn't live up here.
84
00:05:31,114 --> 00:05:32,662
You're free to look around.
85
00:05:46,463 --> 00:05:49,945
She was a good
girl. A really good girl.
86
00:05:54,204 --> 00:05:56,321
The only thing that
she was guilty of
87
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,098
was trying too hard to
fit in with her new friends.
88
00:05:59,876 --> 00:06:03,199
Too much money, too
many things, no limits.
89
00:06:04,648 --> 00:06:06,628
I thought that they
were a fast crowd.
90
00:06:07,851 --> 00:06:09,501
Much faster than my Maria.
91
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:13,939
God.
92
00:06:15,392 --> 00:06:18,282
We searched this girl's
computer, her cell phone, her diary.
93
00:06:18,361 --> 00:06:19,505
There's nothing
that connects her
94
00:06:19,529 --> 00:06:21,089
to those four dealers
in that apartment.
95
00:06:21,164 --> 00:06:22,211
Prints come back yet?
96
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:24,757
They all had sheets.
Burglary, robbery, assault.
97
00:06:24,868 --> 00:06:26,646
A couple of them were
pinched a few years back
98
00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:28,821
for taking off a
stash house in the 34.
99
00:06:28,905 --> 00:06:31,090
What about the
heroin at the scene?
100
00:06:31,441 --> 00:06:34,764
Southwest Asian.
Probably Afghani.
101
00:06:35,211 --> 00:06:37,863
Super high grade, 95% pure.
102
00:06:37,948 --> 00:06:39,598
Shoot it, smoke it, snort it.
103
00:06:39,683 --> 00:06:42,642
When I was in Narcotics the
stuff on the street was Columbian
104
00:06:42,719 --> 00:06:45,803
and 50% pure at best.
You had to shoot it.
105
00:06:45,889 --> 00:06:48,347
Kept the casual user
away, but these days...
106
00:06:48,425 --> 00:06:50,940
Prep school girls and
stockbrokers, chasing the dragon.
107
00:06:51,027 --> 00:06:52,074
Globalization.
108
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:54,950
You know, I'd like to know
how our prep school girls
109
00:06:55,031 --> 00:06:56,613
hooked up with these lowlifes.
110
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:57,843
How's that girl in the hospital?
111
00:06:57,867 --> 00:06:58,914
She's still out of it.
112
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:01,314
And honestly, I don't know what
she's gonna be able to tell us anyway.
113
00:07:01,338 --> 00:07:04,050
We were just on our way to her
school to talk to a few friends of hers.
114
00:07:04,074 --> 00:07:05,656
All right, I'll call
the headmaster.
115
00:07:05,742 --> 00:07:08,632
Give him a heads up
that you'll be dropping by.
116
00:07:13,083 --> 00:07:15,643
Felicia? We wanted to ask
you a couple of questions.
117
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:17,867
About Sabina?
118
00:07:17,954 --> 00:07:20,514
Just trying to figure out what
happened to your friends.
119
00:07:20,590 --> 00:07:22,809
I don't know anything. I swear.
120
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,983
All right, Felicia. If you don't,
you don't, and that's fine with us.
121
00:07:28,164 --> 00:07:31,589
But if you do, that's between
you and your conscience.
122
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,192
You were friends with
Maria Alvarez too, right?
123
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,825
Do you know what people
are saying about her?
124
00:07:38,908 --> 00:07:41,889
That this is somehow her
fault because she lives uptown.
125
00:07:44,881 --> 00:07:46,531
I was supposed to go with them.
126
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:51,503
But I chickened out. I
said I wasn't feeling well.
127
00:07:51,588 --> 00:07:52,942
Where did you meet these guys?
128
00:07:53,023 --> 00:07:55,071
At a rave. Down in Chelsea.
129
00:07:56,926 --> 00:07:58,679
We went there
every Friday night.
130
00:07:58,762 --> 00:08:02,017
We'd hook up with
them there and party.
131
00:08:04,334 --> 00:08:06,417
These guys, were they
from Maria's neighborhood?
132
00:08:06,503 --> 00:08:08,222
She never saw those guys before.
133
00:08:08,872 --> 00:08:11,558
We just hung out with
them at the rave, you know?
134
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:13,388
So what happened last night?
135
00:08:13,476 --> 00:08:14,990
They said they had some H.
136
00:08:16,613 --> 00:08:18,161
Really good stuff.
137
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:21,434
Said we should
come over and try it.
138
00:08:22,285 --> 00:08:25,835
The other girls wanted
to, but it scared me.
139
00:08:26,322 --> 00:08:27,745
And where is this rave?
140
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,938
Why you busting my balls? All
we're doing is having a little fun.
141
00:08:32,962 --> 00:08:34,874
You know how fast we can
close this hellhole down?
142
00:08:34,898 --> 00:08:36,946
We go back in there and
we see people doing drugs,
143
00:08:37,033 --> 00:08:38,956
all we gotta do is
make one phone call
144
00:08:39,035 --> 00:08:40,492
and this place is gone for good.
145
00:08:40,570 --> 00:08:42,823
Okay, okay. Hey, I didn't
say I wouldn't help you.
146
00:08:42,906 --> 00:08:44,090
What do you want?
147
00:08:48,545 --> 00:08:52,129
These guys I know. Tino, Eddie.
148
00:08:52,215 --> 00:08:53,433
Last names?
149
00:08:53,516 --> 00:08:54,939
I don't know
anybody's last name.
150
00:08:55,018 --> 00:08:57,218
You're gonna have to be a
little bit more helpful, Hugo.
151
00:08:59,255 --> 00:09:02,475
They run with Sammy Santiago
from uptown. Part of his crew.
152
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,016
So what's he into?
153
00:09:04,094 --> 00:09:06,211
Sammy deals H.
Moves a lot of it.
154
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:09,346
But not here, though, I swear.
He knows this place is off-limits.
155
00:09:09,432 --> 00:09:11,677
Is he in there right now? We
should go look and see if he's in there.
156
00:09:11,701 --> 00:09:13,351
Hey, hey, hey. He
never showed up.
157
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:16,026
Must be getting
lucky someplace else.
158
00:09:16,406 --> 00:09:18,261
Where do we find him?
159
00:09:18,341 --> 00:09:20,355
Where do we find him?
160
00:09:29,185 --> 00:09:30,403
Nobody's home.
161
00:09:30,487 --> 00:09:32,137
So what do you wanna do?
162
00:09:32,288 --> 00:09:34,211
Oh, as long as we're here.
163
00:09:37,727 --> 00:09:39,013
What do you know?
164
00:09:44,734 --> 00:09:46,691
Something don't smell so good.
165
00:09:52,776 --> 00:09:54,165
Oh.
166
00:10:01,851 --> 00:10:04,036
It's a well-documented
torture technique.
167
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,509
You beat someone long enough,
168
00:10:05,588 --> 00:10:07,636
the muscle tissue
starts to break down.
169
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:09,739
Rhabdomyalysis.
170
00:10:10,326 --> 00:10:13,182
The toxins build up in the
bloodstream, cause the kidneys to fail.
171
00:10:13,263 --> 00:10:14,447
Is that what killed him?
172
00:10:14,531 --> 00:10:16,955
It would have, but I
guess they were in a hurry.
173
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:18,980
Restraint abrasions.
174
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:23,389
After they got tired of
beating him he was strangled.
175
00:10:23,473 --> 00:10:26,295
Petechial hemorrhaging,
ligature marks on his neck.
176
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,992
So how about a time of death?
177
00:10:28,311 --> 00:10:30,928
About 24 hours, give or take.
178
00:10:31,514 --> 00:10:34,131
That's about the same time
they ripped off the stash house.
179
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:35,606
What about these
cigarette butts?
180
00:10:35,685 --> 00:10:36,996
Oh, we bagged one of those.
181
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:39,171
Didn't look American.
Maybe a European brand?
182
00:10:39,255 --> 00:10:40,495
I'll have the lab let you know.
183
00:10:40,523 --> 00:10:41,809
Thanks.
184
00:10:45,328 --> 00:10:46,717
No forced entry.
185
00:10:46,796 --> 00:10:48,913
Maybe Santiago was
expecting somebody.
186
00:10:48,998 --> 00:10:51,581
Well, this guy doesn't strike me
as the type you just drop in on.
187
00:10:51,668 --> 00:10:53,625
Well, it is rude just to show up
188
00:10:53,703 --> 00:10:55,717
at a drug dealer's
doorstep unannounced.
189
00:10:55,805 --> 00:10:57,159
We pull the LUDS on his phone,
190
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,197
maybe we can figure
out who visited him.
191
00:11:01,811 --> 00:11:04,098
What can I do for
you, detectives?
192
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:08,072
A call was made to Sammy
Santiago's cell phone from here.
193
00:11:08,151 --> 00:11:11,132
Is this Sammy Santiago
194
00:11:11,221 --> 00:11:12,575
in the concrete business?
195
00:11:13,456 --> 00:11:15,436
Actually, he's in
the heroin business.
196
00:11:15,658 --> 00:11:16,944
Heroin?
197
00:11:17,894 --> 00:11:20,716
I sell sand and gravel.
198
00:11:21,531 --> 00:11:23,079
You did a stretch for assault
199
00:11:23,166 --> 00:11:24,446
a little while back, didn't you?
200
00:11:25,301 --> 00:11:27,987
When I was young and stupid.
201
00:11:28,805 --> 00:11:30,660
I'm a businessman now.
202
00:11:31,841 --> 00:11:33,696
I control my temper.
203
00:11:34,043 --> 00:11:36,831
But I will let you
gentleman know if I find out
204
00:11:36,913 --> 00:11:41,009
who made this call to this
dead heroin dealer. Yes?
205
00:11:43,753 --> 00:11:44,869
The old country?
206
00:11:44,954 --> 00:11:46,377
I am. Yes.
207
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:47,572
I'm from Chicago.
208
00:11:47,657 --> 00:11:49,876
Lot of Albanians in Chicago.
209
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:51,882
Some of them are in the Outfit.
210
00:11:51,961 --> 00:11:54,146
You call it the Mob
around these parts.
211
00:11:54,731 --> 00:11:57,383
I sell gravel.
212
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:02,560
Have you ever heard of
torturing a guy to death,
213
00:12:03,373 --> 00:12:06,059
by beating him on
the soles of his feet?
214
00:12:06,542 --> 00:12:07,542
No.
215
00:12:09,078 --> 00:12:10,432
It sounds painful.
216
00:12:12,048 --> 00:12:14,802
I don't want that to
happen to me. Or you.
217
00:12:14,884 --> 00:12:16,238
Or to you.
218
00:12:17,053 --> 00:12:19,238
You should consider
quitting. Those things'll kill you.
219
00:12:22,258 --> 00:12:25,046
Have a good day, detectives.
220
00:12:35,772 --> 00:12:39,288
What do you say we stop by the
crime lab on the way to the hospital?
221
00:12:40,276 --> 00:12:41,995
We didn't think it was that bad.
222
00:12:42,378 --> 00:12:44,461
It wasn't like we were
shooting up or anything.
223
00:12:44,547 --> 00:12:46,504
You know, I'm really
surprised at you.
224
00:12:46,582 --> 00:12:48,437
A smart girl such as yourself,
225
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:49,998
going to Princeton and all.
226
00:12:50,086 --> 00:12:51,440
I guess I made a mistake.
227
00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:52,739
I guess you did.
228
00:12:54,057 --> 00:12:55,844
Are you gonna send me to jail?
229
00:12:55,925 --> 00:12:58,383
You know what? We
just might send you to jail,
230
00:12:58,461 --> 00:13:00,043
unless you promise
to tell us the truth
231
00:13:00,129 --> 00:13:02,143
about everything you
remember that night,
232
00:13:02,231 --> 00:13:05,212
you stay in school and get
yourself some drug counseling.
233
00:13:05,535 --> 00:13:06,685
I promise.
234
00:13:07,170 --> 00:13:08,559
Okay,
235
00:13:08,638 --> 00:13:10,716
Sabina, I'm going to show
you some photos, all right?
236
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:12,527
I want you to see if
you recognize anybody.
237
00:13:12,608 --> 00:13:14,065
If you do, tell me from where.
238
00:13:14,143 --> 00:13:15,532
I was kind of out of it.
239
00:13:15,611 --> 00:13:17,398
I don't know if I
got a good look.
240
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,632
Just take a look. All
right? Take your time.
241
00:13:26,422 --> 00:13:28,277
No. Sorry.
242
00:13:30,059 --> 00:13:31,379
How about this one?
243
00:13:42,005 --> 00:13:43,121
Bardha.
244
00:13:43,206 --> 00:13:44,788
Where do you know him from?
245
00:13:46,876 --> 00:13:49,198
That place. Where I...
246
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,233
Where my friends got killed.
247
00:13:53,049 --> 00:13:54,438
When did you see him?
248
00:13:56,986 --> 00:13:58,306
I was nodding off.
249
00:13:58,788 --> 00:14:01,405
There was a lot of noise
coming from the other room.
250
00:14:01,491 --> 00:14:04,245
Shouting... I guess gunshots.
251
00:14:06,029 --> 00:14:07,748
Then a man came into the room.
252
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:10,786
That man.
253
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:12,519
What did he do?
254
00:14:16,706 --> 00:14:18,129
He started shooting...
255
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:21,126
Everyone.
256
00:14:26,516 --> 00:14:28,098
We have a witness
that identifies him
257
00:14:28,184 --> 00:14:30,665
as one of the shooters at the
Washington Heights massacre.
258
00:14:30,753 --> 00:14:33,040
We can also tie him to the
murder of Sammy Santiago.
259
00:14:33,122 --> 00:14:35,774
We have DNA evidence that
puts him at the crime scene.
260
00:14:35,858 --> 00:14:38,077
And how do you come
to find Mr. Bardha's DNA?
261
00:14:38,161 --> 00:14:40,676
Well, let's just say that
Mr. Bardha enjoys a smoke
262
00:14:40,763 --> 00:14:42,618
while he's torturing
somebody to death.
263
00:14:42,698 --> 00:14:45,554
So what happened? Sammy
Santiago ripped you off?
264
00:14:45,635 --> 00:14:46,745
You took down his stash house,
265
00:14:46,769 --> 00:14:49,249
then you found Sammy and gave
him a little a foot massage, huh?
266
00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:50,329
How's he doing?
267
00:14:50,406 --> 00:14:52,056
You're wasting your
time, fellas. Are we?
268
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:53,381
We're gonna get search warrants
269
00:14:53,409 --> 00:14:54,820
for his house and for
his place of business.
270
00:14:54,844 --> 00:14:56,088
And you know what
we're gonna find?
271
00:14:56,112 --> 00:14:57,398
We're gonna find heroin
272
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,564
that matches exactly the heroin
that we found in that stash house.
273
00:15:00,650 --> 00:15:01,834
Afghani heroin!
274
00:15:01,918 --> 00:15:04,103
And maybe a shotgun and a Tech-9
275
00:15:04,187 --> 00:15:06,201
that we can also tie to
the scene of the crime.
276
00:15:06,289 --> 00:15:08,901
We got you for Santiago and we're
gonna nail you for those other seven.
277
00:15:08,925 --> 00:15:11,247
It was not my heroin.
278
00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:12,977
Arten. Let him talk.
279
00:15:13,062 --> 00:15:14,712
He gets a deal, you get a name.
280
00:15:14,797 --> 00:15:16,720
He is the suspect
in eight homicides.
281
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:18,599
What kind of deal do
you think he's gonna get?
282
00:15:25,741 --> 00:15:29,098
Hydar Raheem. From Bombay.
283
00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:31,798
He is in the heroin business.
284
00:15:32,215 --> 00:15:33,433
Afghani heroin?
285
00:15:34,717 --> 00:15:39,007
He needs somebody to distribute
his product in this country.
286
00:15:40,256 --> 00:15:42,213
He talks to Santiago.
287
00:15:43,059 --> 00:15:44,982
Santiago says he's interested.
288
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:47,876
He asks for time
to think about it.
289
00:15:48,498 --> 00:15:50,956
Then he rips off Raheem instead.
290
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,350
So Raheem's pissed.
291
00:15:52,435 --> 00:15:55,155
He is so pissed. He calls me.
292
00:15:55,671 --> 00:15:57,253
And you pay Sammy a visit.
293
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:01,298
We had a discussion.
294
00:16:02,912 --> 00:16:05,529
He tells me where
Raheem's heroin is.
295
00:16:06,182 --> 00:16:08,572
So I go to the stash
house and get it back.
296
00:16:08,651 --> 00:16:11,576
You killed seven people,
including three teenage girls.
297
00:16:11,654 --> 00:16:14,840
We did not know those
girls should be there.
298
00:16:15,958 --> 00:16:18,348
The other four,
they are soldiers.
299
00:16:18,427 --> 00:16:19,884
They choose this life.
300
00:16:23,166 --> 00:16:24,209
Does Bardha's story check out?
301
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:26,987
Well, Raheem does have an
import store at Broadway and 11th.
302
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:28,685
It's wholesale,
to the trade only.
303
00:16:28,771 --> 00:16:29,818
What does he import?
304
00:16:29,906 --> 00:16:35,061
Antiques and sacred objects. Now, Customs
is reluctant to search religious items,
305
00:16:35,144 --> 00:16:36,931
so it's a pretty clever
way to smuggle junk.
306
00:16:37,013 --> 00:16:38,902
Does Raheem have a
sheet? No. He's clean.
307
00:16:38,981 --> 00:16:41,837
Bardha says that Raheem's
got a shipment of Afghan heroin
308
00:16:41,918 --> 00:16:43,432
coming in in the
next couple of days.
309
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:47,138
All right, let's track it and see if we
could catch Raheem taking delivery.
310
00:16:55,464 --> 00:16:56,944
Who do we have coming in now?
311
00:16:57,633 --> 00:16:59,454
Flight 227 from London.
312
00:17:08,311 --> 00:17:10,428
Another young Indian couple.
313
00:17:21,657 --> 00:17:23,137
Yeah... Got it.
314
00:17:30,233 --> 00:17:32,623
I need to take a
look at your bags.
315
00:17:34,403 --> 00:17:35,917
Random check, ma'am.
316
00:17:36,005 --> 00:17:37,189
Of course.
317
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:41,895
They sure look nervous as hell.
318
00:17:48,517 --> 00:17:50,031
Okay, let's see what we got.
319
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:04,183
Look at these screws.
320
00:18:04,267 --> 00:18:06,267
You got three Phillips-head,
and one straight-edge.
321
00:18:06,469 --> 00:18:08,549
Messing with this religious
stuff could get you sued.
322
00:18:09,138 --> 00:18:10,720
That's all right,
we're authorized.
323
00:18:20,683 --> 00:18:21,730
Look at that.
324
00:18:28,791 --> 00:18:32,273
We should pack this stuff back up
and let them go where they're going.
325
00:18:34,397 --> 00:18:35,421
May I help you?
326
00:18:35,498 --> 00:18:37,285
Yeah, you can
stay out of our way.
327
00:18:42,104 --> 00:18:43,356
What's going on here?
328
00:18:43,439 --> 00:18:44,691
You're under arrest.
329
00:18:44,774 --> 00:18:45,890
For what? Drug trafficking.
330
00:18:45,975 --> 00:18:47,261
Oh, my God, we didn't know.
331
00:18:47,343 --> 00:18:49,630
Be quiet! Where is your warrant?
332
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:51,066
We don't need a warrant.
333
00:18:51,147 --> 00:18:53,867
We saw these two people
walk into this establishment
334
00:18:53,949 --> 00:18:57,738
carrying a suitcase with an
unknown quantity of heroin in it.
335
00:18:57,820 --> 00:18:59,777
What... What heroin?
336
00:18:59,855 --> 00:19:02,245
I sell religious
pictures, icons.
337
00:19:02,358 --> 00:19:03,712
Save it for later, bro'.
338
00:19:03,793 --> 00:19:05,978
Don't say anything.
I'll get you a lawyer.
339
00:19:06,062 --> 00:19:07,815
Let me read you
your rights, first.
340
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:09,217
Yeah, please do.
341
00:19:12,568 --> 00:19:14,046
He didn't know the picture
frames contained heroin?
342
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:15,914
So, those couriers just
brought it in on their own?
343
00:19:15,938 --> 00:19:17,749
And then just happened to
take it directly to his store?
344
00:19:17,773 --> 00:19:18,854
Can you prove otherwise?
345
00:19:18,941 --> 00:19:20,752
We're going to search his
store, his other properties,
346
00:19:20,776 --> 00:19:21,823
and his warehouse.
347
00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:23,789
I've got a feeling we're
gonna find a whole lot more
348
00:19:23,813 --> 00:19:25,090
than statuettes
and knick-knacks.
349
00:19:25,114 --> 00:19:27,572
And somehow, I get
the feeling that the, uh,
350
00:19:27,650 --> 00:19:31,075
"I didn't know the heroin was
in the statue of the Lord Vishnu"
351
00:19:31,153 --> 00:19:32,633
defense isn't gonna work.
352
00:19:39,228 --> 00:19:40,908
We'd like to talk to
the District Attorney.
353
00:19:42,164 --> 00:19:44,212
He's a little busy
this time of day, man.
354
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,445
I think they're going to want to
hear what my client has to say.
355
00:19:46,469 --> 00:19:47,746
Well, why don't you
give us a little preview?
356
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:49,750
Maybe we can get
somebody on the phone.
357
00:19:49,972 --> 00:19:51,156
Qaadar Khaleel.
358
00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:52,364
Who's that?
359
00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:54,186
One of the biggest
drug lords in Afghanistan.
360
00:19:54,210 --> 00:19:55,929
And you got your dope from him?
361
00:19:56,011 --> 00:19:57,365
He is the man I work for.
362
00:19:57,446 --> 00:20:00,371
The only problem with that is,
363
00:20:00,449 --> 00:20:02,634
is that Afghanistan is
half way around the world,
364
00:20:02,718 --> 00:20:04,573
and a little out
of our jurisdiction.
365
00:20:04,653 --> 00:20:06,906
He is here. Khaleel
is here. In New York.
366
00:20:08,157 --> 00:20:11,013
He arrived last night.
He comes once a month.
367
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,010
On business? And pleasure.
368
00:20:14,096 --> 00:20:15,553
He fancies blondes.
369
00:20:16,098 --> 00:20:18,058
There are not so many of
them back in Afghanistan.
370
00:20:18,801 --> 00:20:20,588
Raheem is going to
meet him tomorrow.
371
00:20:20,669 --> 00:20:21,887
What do you think?
372
00:20:23,939 --> 00:20:25,453
Fancies blonds, huh.
373
00:20:26,075 --> 00:20:27,498
Don't even go there.
374
00:20:28,177 --> 00:20:30,897
Raheem's got a deal if
he agrees to wear a wire.
375
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:33,370
I want this drug lord's
confession on tape.
376
00:20:39,388 --> 00:20:41,209
This dude travels in style.
377
00:20:41,457 --> 00:20:44,143
Khaleel's car just pulled
up. Black Town Car.
378
00:20:44,860 --> 00:20:46,338
Copy that. Black Town Car.
379
00:20:46,362 --> 00:20:49,150
Did you see that?
Zoom in on those plates?
380
00:20:52,034 --> 00:20:53,821
Those are diplomatic plates.
381
00:20:53,903 --> 00:20:58,853
Yeah. Raheem's in. One
other passenger and a driver.
382
00:20:58,941 --> 00:21:00,159
Khaleel a diplomat?
383
00:21:00,242 --> 00:21:01,824
Raheem didn't mention that.
384
00:21:01,911 --> 00:21:05,359
Well, it doesn't matter. We
wired the guy, not the car.
385
00:21:05,448 --> 00:21:07,963
They're on the move. They're
heading south on Broadway.
386
00:21:13,088 --> 00:21:15,478
Red, white, blue
diplomatic plates.
387
00:21:15,558 --> 00:21:18,881
Adam-Frank-one-zero-two-one.
388
00:21:19,695 --> 00:21:20,947
We got the eyeball.
389
00:21:21,230 --> 00:21:23,790
I don't know about
you, but I am famished.
390
00:21:26,302 --> 00:21:28,021
Parwana's on 12th Street.
391
00:21:28,103 --> 00:21:31,119
They're going to Parwana's
restaurant on 12th Street.
392
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:34,530
Three blocks from here between
Broadway and University Place.
393
00:21:34,610 --> 00:21:36,863
It's between Broadway
and University Place.
394
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,764
I have some news about Santiago.
395
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:44,736
Everything's been taken care of?
396
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:46,236
As you instructed.
397
00:21:47,156 --> 00:21:51,105
I called Bardha and told him
this was a serious problem.
398
00:21:52,495 --> 00:21:53,713
And?
399
00:21:55,331 --> 00:21:57,254
We have our product back.
400
00:21:58,601 --> 00:22:00,456
Santiago and his friends?
401
00:22:00,536 --> 00:22:02,289
Bardha took care of them.
402
00:22:05,574 --> 00:22:07,293
Excellent.
403
00:22:08,444 --> 00:22:09,764
Did he just give it up?
404
00:22:09,845 --> 00:22:11,125
That's the best we're gonna get.
405
00:22:13,215 --> 00:22:14,793
We're gonna take him
in front of the restaurant.
406
00:22:14,817 --> 00:22:16,257
Ten-four. Back-up is flying.
407
00:22:20,523 --> 00:22:21,912
Qaadar Khaleel?
408
00:22:26,262 --> 00:22:27,742
Yes? You're under arrest.
409
00:22:28,564 --> 00:22:29,850
I have diplomatic immunity.
410
00:22:29,932 --> 00:22:32,151
For murder and narcotics
trafficking? I doubt it.
411
00:22:32,234 --> 00:22:34,123
Good work. Excellent work.
412
00:22:34,203 --> 00:22:37,059
He's a Judas, Raheem is. He
set you up and he sold you out.
413
00:22:41,043 --> 00:22:45,936
"Docket number 48102.
People v. Qaadar Khaleel."
414
00:22:46,015 --> 00:22:48,940
Charge is eight counts of
conspiracy to commit murder.
415
00:22:49,018 --> 00:22:51,203
Eight counts of murder
in the first degree.
416
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:52,641
That's a lot of counts.
417
00:22:52,721 --> 00:22:54,075
How does he plead, Mr. Rems?
418
00:22:54,156 --> 00:22:55,340
Not guilty, Your Honor.
419
00:22:55,424 --> 00:22:56,505
Ms. Southerlyn?
420
00:22:56,592 --> 00:22:57,752
The defendant is a drug lord.
421
00:22:57,793 --> 00:22:59,477
He's an international
narcotics trafficker.
422
00:22:59,562 --> 00:23:00,746
Alleged.
423
00:23:00,829 --> 00:23:03,185
My client has no criminal
record whatsoever.
424
00:23:03,265 --> 00:23:05,382
Who ordered the
Washington Heights massacre.
425
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:06,947
He's an Afghan national
426
00:23:07,036 --> 00:23:08,891
with access to unlimited
amounts of drug money.
427
00:23:08,971 --> 00:23:10,360
He's clearly a flight risk.
428
00:23:10,439 --> 00:23:14,160
The People's entire case is built
on the word of a narco-trafficker
429
00:23:14,243 --> 00:23:16,098
who's complicit in these murders
430
00:23:16,178 --> 00:23:18,636
and who'll say anything
to reduce his jail time.
431
00:23:19,014 --> 00:23:21,666
We have a video recording
of the defendant discussing
432
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:23,070
how he ordered these murders.
433
00:23:23,152 --> 00:23:24,939
We dispute it was an admission.
434
00:23:25,020 --> 00:23:27,307
And in any event it
was illegally obtained.
435
00:23:27,389 --> 00:23:29,210
You can argue your
suppression issue
436
00:23:29,291 --> 00:23:31,647
before the trial
judge, Mr. Rems.
437
00:23:31,727 --> 00:23:35,277
I'm not granting bail to anyone
connected to this blood bath.
438
00:23:35,364 --> 00:23:36,718
The defendant is remanded.
439
00:23:41,837 --> 00:23:43,794
So what's wrong with
the statement, Mr. Rems?
440
00:23:43,872 --> 00:23:46,455
The police eavesdrop
on a diplomatic car
441
00:23:46,542 --> 00:23:50,195
and invaded the sanctity of a
foreign nation's consular territory.
442
00:23:50,312 --> 00:23:53,202
Please. Are you trying to tell
me that your client is a diplomat?
443
00:23:53,282 --> 00:23:56,366
I don't think the Vienna
Convention on Diplomatic Relations
444
00:23:56,452 --> 00:23:57,772
makes that distinction.
445
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:06,943
Mr. Khaleel is a very
important man in Afghanistan.
446
00:24:07,029 --> 00:24:08,076
But I checked.
447
00:24:08,163 --> 00:24:09,745
He's not with your
consulate here.
448
00:24:09,832 --> 00:24:11,915
Mr. Khaleel is a businessman.
449
00:24:13,068 --> 00:24:15,355
What was he doing
in your Consul's car?
450
00:24:16,705 --> 00:24:19,357
Mr. Khaleel calls me when
he comes to New York.
451
00:24:19,441 --> 00:24:21,023
I drive him, show him the City.
452
00:24:22,011 --> 00:24:25,266
Please, do not
involve me in this.
453
00:24:25,614 --> 00:24:29,130
My brother is one of his
captains, in Paktika, in Afghanistan.
454
00:24:30,085 --> 00:24:31,201
I don't understand.
455
00:24:31,286 --> 00:24:33,398
Are you saying your brother's
a police or military officer?
456
00:24:33,422 --> 00:24:37,905
No, no, no. Khaleel has his
own army, militia, about 500 men.
457
00:24:39,294 --> 00:24:40,444
He's a warlord.
458
00:24:40,529 --> 00:24:44,250
Khaleel keeps my province
safe from outlaws and terrorists.
459
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:46,791
He keeps the Taliban
from coming back.
460
00:24:46,969 --> 00:24:49,291
He feeds my brother's children.
461
00:24:50,239 --> 00:24:53,357
When he asks me to
do this, I cannot say no.
462
00:24:55,611 --> 00:24:58,228
Khaleel isn't part of the
Afghanistan diplomatic mission.
463
00:24:58,313 --> 00:25:01,499
It doesn't change the
diplomatic status of the car.
464
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:04,803
The Vienna Convention
of 1961 states that
465
00:25:04,887 --> 00:25:07,743
the premises of a country's
diplomatic missions,
466
00:25:07,823 --> 00:25:11,476
as well as its means of
transport, are immune from search.
467
00:25:12,027 --> 00:25:13,814
The defense claims
that a drug dealer
468
00:25:13,896 --> 00:25:16,377
has an expectation of
privacy in that vehicle?
469
00:25:16,465 --> 00:25:18,047
Even if it's used on a lark?
470
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,418
That's right.
471
00:25:19,501 --> 00:25:21,959
Well, I don't
think that bird'll fly.
472
00:25:22,037 --> 00:25:25,223
Let's see what this State
Department fella has to say.
473
00:25:26,475 --> 00:25:28,956
Mr. Branch! Edwin Blitzer.
474
00:25:29,178 --> 00:25:31,033
What can I do for
you, Mr. Blitzer?
475
00:25:31,146 --> 00:25:33,798
Well, we understand you
have Qaadar Khaleel in custody.
476
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:36,467
He's been charged as a principal
477
00:25:36,552 --> 00:25:37,762
in the Washington
Heights massacre.
478
00:25:37,786 --> 00:25:39,364
He's been in the country
less than 24 hours.
479
00:25:39,388 --> 00:25:41,108
What could he possibly
have to do with that?
480
00:25:41,156 --> 00:25:43,546
Mr. Khaleel is an
international narco-trafficker.
481
00:25:43,625 --> 00:25:46,015
He's importing Afghan
heroin into New York.
482
00:25:46,095 --> 00:25:47,135
You have evidence of this?
483
00:25:47,162 --> 00:25:48,346
Plenty.
484
00:25:49,331 --> 00:25:50,685
Do you want to see it?
485
00:25:52,835 --> 00:25:54,724
Khaleel is an ally of our...
486
00:25:55,270 --> 00:25:56,522
Our interests over there.
487
00:25:57,573 --> 00:25:59,895
He has been a staunch
opponent of the Taliban.
488
00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:01,720
Well, the one thing you
could say about the Taliban
489
00:26:01,744 --> 00:26:03,326
is they didn't
tolerate drug trade.
490
00:26:03,412 --> 00:26:05,665
The threat in Afghanistan
wasn't about opium.
491
00:26:06,215 --> 00:26:07,899
Not then, but what about now?
492
00:26:07,983 --> 00:26:10,635
Isn't the country in danger of
becoming the next Colombia?
493
00:26:10,719 --> 00:26:13,279
We're cognizant of the
threats to the new government
494
00:26:13,355 --> 00:26:15,836
and the conflict in
Afghanistan is far from over.
495
00:26:17,059 --> 00:26:19,881
Khaleel has helped us capture
a dozen al Qaeda operatives
496
00:26:19,962 --> 00:26:21,112
over the past two years.
497
00:26:21,196 --> 00:26:23,347
The man is an
indispensable resource.
498
00:26:23,432 --> 00:26:26,118
He's a drug lord. It's like
dealing with Pablo Escobar.
499
00:26:27,035 --> 00:26:28,719
We have to prioritize.
500
00:26:29,138 --> 00:26:30,959
First the Taliban and al Qaeda.
501
00:26:31,273 --> 00:26:34,755
And after the drug lords and war
lords have helped Karzai do that,
502
00:26:34,843 --> 00:26:37,597
we help Karzai deal with
the drug lords and war lords.
503
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,764
The enemy of my
enemy is my friend.
504
00:26:40,582 --> 00:26:42,293
That's how it works in
that part of the world.
505
00:26:42,317 --> 00:26:44,172
You can't be picky
on who you work with.
506
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:48,206
You can see how sensitive this
matter is for the State Department.
507
00:26:48,423 --> 00:26:51,006
This case could be a
huge embarrassment
508
00:26:51,093 --> 00:26:52,880
to the United States
and President Karzai.
509
00:26:52,961 --> 00:26:54,601
Well, when they see
the crime scene photos
510
00:26:54,663 --> 00:26:56,120
of the Washington
Heights apartment,
511
00:26:56,198 --> 00:26:57,450
I'm sure they'll get over that.
512
00:26:59,234 --> 00:27:03,057
I understand you have both the
man who gave the direct order
513
00:27:03,138 --> 00:27:05,138
and the man who did the
actual killing, in custody.
514
00:27:05,174 --> 00:27:07,154
Mr. Raheem and Mr. Bardha.
515
00:27:07,242 --> 00:27:09,454
And they've both agreed to
plead guilty? Isn't that enough?
516
00:27:09,478 --> 00:27:13,700
Mr. Raheem will testify that
Mr. Bardha carried out these killings
517
00:27:13,782 --> 00:27:16,468
at the behest of
your erstwhile ally.
518
00:27:19,988 --> 00:27:21,809
Anything you could do
to help us, Mr. Branch,
519
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,279
would be greatly appreciated.
520
00:27:25,494 --> 00:27:28,578
We'll thank Mr. Khaleel for
his past assistance to America
521
00:27:28,664 --> 00:27:30,018
in fighting terrorism.
522
00:27:30,632 --> 00:27:33,852
But, he's gone onto drug
dealing and mass murder.
523
00:27:34,503 --> 00:27:36,187
And if I have anything
to say about it,
524
00:27:36,271 --> 00:27:38,319
he'll spend the rest
of his natural life
525
00:27:38,407 --> 00:27:40,729
in a New York
correctional facility.
526
00:27:47,916 --> 00:27:51,865
The Vienna Convention makes it
clear you can't search a diplomatic car.
527
00:27:51,954 --> 00:27:55,379
Except that the diplomatic protection
the defendant seeks to invoke
528
00:27:55,457 --> 00:27:57,847
applies only to a
physical search.
529
00:27:57,926 --> 00:28:00,009
What message do
we send to the world
530
00:28:00,095 --> 00:28:02,985
when we allow the police
to place wired agents
531
00:28:03,065 --> 00:28:05,113
into diplomatically
protected areas?
532
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,954
Mr. Khaleel can't
shield his conversations
533
00:28:08,036 --> 00:28:10,323
simply by holding
them in diplomatic car.
534
00:28:10,772 --> 00:28:13,332
The Supreme Court has
held that a person has
535
00:28:13,408 --> 00:28:15,866
no constitutionally
justified expectation
536
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:19,665
that someone he talks to will not
reveal that conversation to the police.
537
00:28:19,748 --> 00:28:23,674
The informant wore a
wire. Audio and video.
538
00:28:23,752 --> 00:28:28,008
And the Supreme Court has also
held that an orally reported conversation
539
00:28:28,090 --> 00:28:30,480
is no different than
a wire transmission.
540
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:31,675
US v. White.
541
00:28:32,127 --> 00:28:35,052
Mr. McCoy's analysis is correct.
542
00:28:35,163 --> 00:28:37,815
The Vienna Convention
didn't prevent Mr. Raheem
543
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:40,517
from relaying the
substance of his conversation
544
00:28:40,602 --> 00:28:42,855
with Mr. Khaleel after the fact.
545
00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:44,861
It doesn't prevent him
from recording it either.
546
00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:45,964
Your Honor...
547
00:28:46,041 --> 00:28:49,728
I'm allowing Mr. Khaleel's recorded
statement to be introduced at trial.
548
00:28:50,779 --> 00:28:52,702
Eight murder counts, Mr. Rems.
549
00:28:52,781 --> 00:28:55,467
I suggest your client might
want to think about a plea bargain.
550
00:28:59,087 --> 00:29:00,908
The best I can do is
50 to life, Mr. Rems.
551
00:29:01,723 --> 00:29:03,578
You want that, Mr. Khaleel?
552
00:29:11,066 --> 00:29:12,614
So, I can tell Judge Mizener
553
00:29:12,701 --> 00:29:14,988
that I at least made an effort.
554
00:29:15,404 --> 00:29:19,762
Notice that I'll be introducing a
public authority defense at trial.
555
00:29:20,142 --> 00:29:22,998
Which applies when an
informant or a hostage
556
00:29:23,078 --> 00:29:24,899
is forced to do
something illegal.
557
00:29:24,980 --> 00:29:28,030
Like when a CI handles
drugs to keep his cover.
558
00:29:29,384 --> 00:29:30,602
Exactly.
559
00:29:31,987 --> 00:29:34,570
That isn't a recognized
defense, Mr. Rems.
560
00:29:34,656 --> 00:29:37,808
And which government authorized
Mr. Khaleel to murder eight people?
561
00:29:37,893 --> 00:29:42,149
The United States. It enlisted
his help in the war in Afghanistan.
562
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:45,086
I didn't realize American
teenagers in Washington Heights
563
00:29:45,167 --> 00:29:46,556
were enemy combatants.
564
00:29:46,635 --> 00:29:49,821
My client poses as a
friend to the insurgents
565
00:29:49,905 --> 00:29:52,557
who are eager to do
business with drug traffickers
566
00:29:52,641 --> 00:29:54,997
in an effort to fund
their terrorist activities.
567
00:29:55,777 --> 00:29:58,531
I still don't see what it
has to do with this case.
568
00:29:58,613 --> 00:30:00,661
In order to continue
to assist the US,
569
00:30:00,749 --> 00:30:02,832
he has to run his drug business.
570
00:30:02,918 --> 00:30:05,501
Which requires him to
behave like a drug lord.
571
00:30:05,587 --> 00:30:07,169
So if someone steals his drugs,
572
00:30:07,255 --> 00:30:09,542
he's authorized to slaughter
them to keep his cover?
573
00:30:09,624 --> 00:30:12,844
He didn't authorize
the slaughter of anyone.
574
00:30:12,928 --> 00:30:17,184
He merely asked an
overzealous subordinate
575
00:30:17,332 --> 00:30:19,380
to retrieve his stolen property.
576
00:30:19,601 --> 00:30:22,287
This is one of the most
outrageous claims I've ever heard.
577
00:30:22,371 --> 00:30:23,828
Maybe so.
578
00:30:23,905 --> 00:30:26,727
But if Mr. Khaleel is
going down for this,
579
00:30:27,442 --> 00:30:29,627
he's taking his
handlers down with him.
580
00:30:29,711 --> 00:30:31,998
So is the military
corroborating his story?
581
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,197
I don't know that
they have any choice.
582
00:30:35,050 --> 00:30:37,235
The US Government knows exactly
583
00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:39,140
what Mr. Khaleel has been doing.
584
00:30:40,222 --> 00:30:46,549
This is Khaleel's handler, Captain
Clark Wallace. Army Special Forces.
585
00:30:46,628 --> 00:30:49,143
And here's a letter
from Captain Wallace
586
00:30:49,231 --> 00:30:54,249
confirming the shipment of
M-16s to Mr. Khaleel in Gardez.
587
00:30:55,470 --> 00:30:57,291
"March 2nd, 2002."
588
00:30:57,939 --> 00:30:59,419
A photograph and an old letter
589
00:30:59,508 --> 00:31:01,022
aren't gonna make
your case, Mr. Rems.
590
00:31:01,743 --> 00:31:03,325
Check the arrest report.
591
00:31:03,745 --> 00:31:05,668
You'll notice his
first call wasn't to me.
592
00:31:05,747 --> 00:31:07,727
It was to Captain Wallace.
593
00:31:14,856 --> 00:31:16,575
The letter and
photograph are authentic.
594
00:31:16,658 --> 00:31:19,617
Khaleel's one of our best
sources in Eastern Afghanistan.
595
00:31:19,694 --> 00:31:21,708
According to Interpol,
he's a huge importer
596
00:31:21,797 --> 00:31:23,311
of heroin into Western Europe.
597
00:31:23,398 --> 00:31:26,015
And now he's trying to
establish himself in New York.
598
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:29,221
Things on the ground
aren't black and white.
599
00:31:29,304 --> 00:31:30,988
Especially in a place
like Afghanistan.
600
00:31:31,073 --> 00:31:32,826
You make friends with
whoever you need to.
601
00:31:32,908 --> 00:31:34,695
Not so different than
being a prosecutor.
602
00:31:34,776 --> 00:31:36,888
Except that we don't allow
the people we make deals with
603
00:31:36,912 --> 00:31:39,302
to expand the scope of
their criminal activities.
604
00:31:40,015 --> 00:31:41,438
That's here.
605
00:31:41,516 --> 00:31:42,756
We're talking about over there.
606
00:31:42,784 --> 00:31:44,070
I'm not.
607
00:31:44,152 --> 00:31:47,077
I've got eight murders to
prosecute in New York City.
608
00:31:47,756 --> 00:31:50,544
Why did Khaleel call you
the night that he was arrested?
609
00:31:50,625 --> 00:31:52,275
To get him the
hell out of there.
610
00:31:52,494 --> 00:31:54,417
What could you
have done for him?
611
00:31:54,796 --> 00:31:56,507
Who do you think called
the State Department?
612
00:31:56,531 --> 00:31:58,716
I heard they sent
somebody to spring Khaleel.
613
00:31:59,868 --> 00:32:01,951
The only way that's going
to happen, Captain Wallace,
614
00:32:02,037 --> 00:32:03,187
is if a jury acquits him.
615
00:32:04,873 --> 00:32:06,853
I'm just stating the
facts, Mr. McCoy.
616
00:32:07,309 --> 00:32:08,719
The fallout from this
is going to hit people
617
00:32:08,743 --> 00:32:10,996
much higher up on the
chain of command than me.
618
00:32:16,685 --> 00:32:19,439
I have worked for Qaadar
Khaleel for over 10 years.
619
00:32:19,788 --> 00:32:22,246
Supervising poppy
crops in Afghanistan
620
00:32:22,891 --> 00:32:26,646
and shipping the raw opium to
Pakistan for processing into heroin.
621
00:32:27,796 --> 00:32:29,276
What other work did you perform
622
00:32:29,364 --> 00:32:30,844
for the defendant, Mr. Raheem?
623
00:32:30,932 --> 00:32:34,050
I oversaw the transport of that
heroin into nearby countries,
624
00:32:34,136 --> 00:32:38,062
like India, Turkey, Iran, for
sale in Europe and Russia.
625
00:32:38,140 --> 00:32:39,722
Were you responsible
626
00:32:39,808 --> 00:32:42,789
for importing the defendant's
heroin into the United States?
627
00:32:42,878 --> 00:32:44,028
Yes, I was.
628
00:32:44,112 --> 00:32:46,160
And where did you
store this heroin?
629
00:32:46,248 --> 00:32:49,935
In stores, homes, what
we call "stash houses."
630
00:32:50,552 --> 00:32:51,872
Did you reveal the location
631
00:32:51,953 --> 00:32:54,639
of one of these stash
houses to Sammy Santiago?
632
00:32:54,789 --> 00:32:55,870
Yes.
633
00:32:55,957 --> 00:32:57,346
For what reason?
634
00:32:58,326 --> 00:33:01,046
Well, we wanted to sell
our heroin, here in New York.
635
00:33:01,129 --> 00:33:03,246
So we contacted Mr. Santiago,
636
00:33:03,632 --> 00:33:06,818
hoping he and his associates
would be interested in helping us.
637
00:33:06,902 --> 00:33:09,360
Did they? They
robbed us instead.
638
00:33:10,038 --> 00:33:11,688
What happened as a result?
639
00:33:13,241 --> 00:33:15,756
Mr. Khaleel asked me
to get our heroin back.
640
00:33:16,411 --> 00:33:19,370
And to have Santiago
and his crew killed.
641
00:33:20,916 --> 00:33:22,134
Nothing further.
642
00:33:27,522 --> 00:33:31,175
Let's get one thing straight
to start, Mr. Raheem.
643
00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:35,712
You hired Arten Bardha
to kill these people?
644
00:33:36,231 --> 00:33:37,381
Yes.
645
00:33:37,465 --> 00:33:38,625
And in exchange for leniency,
646
00:33:38,667 --> 00:33:41,023
you made a deal with
the District Attorney
647
00:33:41,102 --> 00:33:42,582
to testify against my client.
648
00:33:42,704 --> 00:33:43,854
Yes.
649
00:33:43,939 --> 00:33:46,522
Did my client ever
tell you explicitly
650
00:33:46,608 --> 00:33:49,168
to have Sammy Santiago
and his crew killed?
651
00:33:49,244 --> 00:33:52,100
No. But I knew what
he wanted done.
652
00:33:53,381 --> 00:33:58,740
Are you aware, Mr. Raheem, that
the production of heroin in Afghanistan
653
00:33:58,820 --> 00:34:01,335
has grown by 2000%
654
00:34:01,723 --> 00:34:04,443
since the United States
overthrew the Taliban regime?
655
00:34:04,526 --> 00:34:09,385
That 85% of the world's heroin
now comes from Afghanistan?
656
00:34:09,464 --> 00:34:11,046
I am not a bookkeeper.
657
00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:13,317
But, yes, there is
much, much more now.
658
00:34:13,401 --> 00:34:17,190
In fact, that was the reason
you were sent here, wasn't it?
659
00:34:17,606 --> 00:34:20,360
To find a market for my
client's surplus heroin?
660
00:34:20,575 --> 00:34:21,725
Yes, it was.
661
00:34:21,810 --> 00:34:24,370
Did the United States
military allow my client
662
00:34:24,446 --> 00:34:26,369
to do business as
a drug trafficker?
663
00:34:26,448 --> 00:34:30,431
I know that US soldiers drove
by his poppy fields every day.
664
00:34:30,785 --> 00:34:32,708
So, at the very least,
they were aware
665
00:34:32,787 --> 00:34:34,540
that he was in the
heroin business?
666
00:34:34,623 --> 00:34:37,047
They had to. Unless
they were idiots.
667
00:34:37,993 --> 00:34:39,473
So it's quite possible
668
00:34:40,028 --> 00:34:42,486
that Qaadar Khaleel
was authorized
669
00:34:42,564 --> 00:34:44,180
by the United States government
670
00:34:44,266 --> 00:34:47,555
to come to this country to
further his business interests
671
00:34:47,636 --> 00:34:51,152
in order to support his
identity as a drug lord?
672
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,753
Objection to what's possible.
673
00:34:53,074 --> 00:34:54,326
Sustained.
674
00:34:55,677 --> 00:34:57,134
No further questions.
675
00:34:58,913 --> 00:35:00,461
My name is Clark Wallace.
676
00:35:00,548 --> 00:35:04,167
I hold a commission as a captain in
the United States Army, Special Forces.
677
00:35:04,586 --> 00:35:06,509
And what was your
last assignment?
678
00:35:06,588 --> 00:35:08,011
I served in Afghanistan.
679
00:35:08,423 --> 00:35:09,641
How were you deployed?
680
00:35:09,724 --> 00:35:12,341
I commanded a military
intelligence and reconnaissance unit
681
00:35:12,427 --> 00:35:15,044
composed of native
Afghans in Paktika province.
682
00:35:15,597 --> 00:35:19,284
Meaning you weren't working
with the regular Afghan Army?
683
00:35:19,367 --> 00:35:20,367
Correct.
684
00:35:22,003 --> 00:35:25,758
Why were you commanding a
local civilian force, Captain Wallace?
685
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,230
The provinces are controlled
by the local tribesmen.
686
00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:30,290
If you're in an
area like Paktika,
687
00:35:30,378 --> 00:35:33,268
where you require knowledge
of the terrain, routes,
688
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:35,188
who the good guys are
and who the bad guys are,
689
00:35:35,784 --> 00:35:38,242
you engage local people in
order to carry out your mission.
690
00:35:38,753 --> 00:35:40,506
What was your mission,
Captain Wallace?
691
00:35:41,923 --> 00:35:43,971
To capture Taliban
and al Qaeda operatives
692
00:35:44,059 --> 00:35:46,847
hiding along the Pakistani
border, in the tribal areas.
693
00:35:47,862 --> 00:35:50,013
Mr. Khaleel was one
of the tribal leaders
694
00:35:50,098 --> 00:35:51,953
you engaged to help you do this?
695
00:35:53,001 --> 00:35:55,001
He controlled a large area
of the Paktika province.
696
00:35:55,370 --> 00:35:57,350
And how exactly did he help you?
697
00:35:57,439 --> 00:36:01,331
He provided intelligence,
vehicles, personnel.
698
00:36:01,843 --> 00:36:03,960
Personnel? What does that mean?
699
00:36:04,045 --> 00:36:06,560
He provided men.
Soldiers. Troops.
700
00:36:07,349 --> 00:36:08,396
To fight?
701
00:36:08,483 --> 00:36:09,769
If necessary.
702
00:36:09,851 --> 00:36:12,935
And who paid these men,
the Afghan government?
703
00:36:13,288 --> 00:36:16,247
The fighters I worked with weren't
paid by the central government.
704
00:36:16,324 --> 00:36:18,077
They were paid by...
705
00:36:18,626 --> 00:36:19,878
Mr. Khaleel.
706
00:36:20,795 --> 00:36:23,082
He had a standing
militia of 1,500 men.
707
00:36:23,164 --> 00:36:25,781
And where did Mr. Khaleel
708
00:36:25,867 --> 00:36:30,760
come up with the money to pay
and equip 1,500 full-time fighters?
709
00:36:32,207 --> 00:36:33,391
I wouldn't know.
710
00:36:37,312 --> 00:36:41,761
Are you saying you had no knowledge that
Mr. Khaleel was in the heroin business?
711
00:36:42,350 --> 00:36:43,568
Correct, sir.
712
00:36:43,651 --> 00:36:45,665
You never saw his poppy fields?
713
00:36:45,754 --> 00:36:47,575
None I could
identify as Khaleel's.
714
00:36:47,655 --> 00:36:51,137
And you never asked him
how he funded his militia?
715
00:36:52,961 --> 00:36:55,521
I don't ask questions I
don't need the answers to.
716
00:36:56,398 --> 00:36:59,550
Captain, you're
testifying under oath.
717
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:02,490
I understand that.
718
00:37:05,373 --> 00:37:06,591
May we approach?
719
00:37:12,814 --> 00:37:15,500
This man is perjuring himself.
720
00:37:16,017 --> 00:37:18,236
He's your witness, Mr. Rems.
721
00:37:18,319 --> 00:37:21,039
If you have evidence
he's lying, let's see it.
722
00:37:29,531 --> 00:37:31,648
Rems had his head in
the clouds if he thought that
723
00:37:31,733 --> 00:37:33,486
a captain in the Special
Forces was going to
724
00:37:33,568 --> 00:37:36,993
openly acknowledge that he'd
consorted with a heroin trafficker.
725
00:37:37,071 --> 00:37:38,221
I don't know what's worse,
726
00:37:38,306 --> 00:37:40,866
them pretending it didn't
happen or just admitting it.
727
00:37:40,942 --> 00:37:42,626
You know, Rems is
corroborating our case
728
00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:45,066
by conceding that
Khaleel's a dealer.
729
00:37:45,146 --> 00:37:47,229
But it's also
tending to support it.
730
00:37:47,782 --> 00:37:51,332
At the very least, the military
acquiesced to his opium business.
731
00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:53,140
At the very least?
732
00:37:53,721 --> 00:37:56,873
Are you suggesting that
they may have facilitated it?
733
00:37:57,759 --> 00:37:58,875
Possibly.
734
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,681
At most they may have
ignored it, in Afghanistan.
735
00:38:03,164 --> 00:38:05,645
But Khaleel's not being
charged with drug felonies.
736
00:38:05,733 --> 00:38:08,248
He's charged with
murder, in New York State.
737
00:38:08,336 --> 00:38:10,157
And there's not a
snowball's chance in hell
738
00:38:10,238 --> 00:38:11,758
that our government
acquiesced to that.
739
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,400
Didn't the CIA help run
drugs for the Contras?
740
00:38:14,509 --> 00:38:17,365
That's a left-wing myth
from a lunatic fringe.
741
00:38:17,445 --> 00:38:19,801
Don't be too sure
this is a lock, Arthur.
742
00:38:19,881 --> 00:38:21,167
These days, half the country
743
00:38:21,249 --> 00:38:24,435
thinks everything the government
says is Orwellian double-speak.
744
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:27,842
And the other half have
absolute faith in what we're doing.
745
00:38:27,922 --> 00:38:30,175
So try to make the
jury see it that way.
746
00:38:30,258 --> 00:38:33,706
I don't want them buying any
paranoid conspiracy theories
747
00:38:33,795 --> 00:38:35,343
about the federal government.
748
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:41,920
I have received
money, rifles for my men.
749
00:38:42,704 --> 00:38:44,252
And up until now,
plenty of thanks
750
00:38:44,339 --> 00:38:46,763
from the United States
Government for the work that I did.
751
00:38:46,841 --> 00:38:49,891
As confirmed in this letter
from Captain Wallace?
752
00:38:49,978 --> 00:38:51,128
Yes.
753
00:38:52,046 --> 00:38:53,730
Where was this photograph taken?
754
00:38:56,451 --> 00:38:57,874
Near Jalalabad.
755
00:38:58,486 --> 00:39:00,000
We had apprehended some Taliban.
756
00:39:01,689 --> 00:39:03,203
We were actually celebrating.
757
00:39:03,591 --> 00:39:05,446
How did that
happen, Mr. Khaleel?
758
00:39:05,527 --> 00:39:07,712
We believed they
might be with al Qaeda,
759
00:39:07,795 --> 00:39:10,776
and we had heard they were
interested in doing business with me.
760
00:39:10,865 --> 00:39:12,345
What kind of business?
761
00:39:12,433 --> 00:39:15,949
They were offering to transport
some of my opium into Pakistan.
762
00:39:17,405 --> 00:39:19,761
Was Captain Wallace
aware you were doing this?
763
00:39:19,841 --> 00:39:21,594
He encouraged it.
764
00:39:21,943 --> 00:39:24,021
He wanted to capture some of
these men and question them
765
00:39:24,045 --> 00:39:26,901
about their terrorist activities.
Which is what we did.
766
00:39:27,415 --> 00:39:31,534
Did he ever request that you
stop your drug trafficking activities?
767
00:39:34,355 --> 00:39:36,005
Captain Wallace is a smart man.
768
00:39:36,658 --> 00:39:39,310
He knows that without opium,
Afghanistan would crumble.
769
00:39:39,894 --> 00:39:43,080
The poppy seed crop represents
half of my country's economy.
770
00:39:43,665 --> 00:39:44,746
Maybe more.
771
00:39:44,832 --> 00:39:48,621
So American forces have done
nothing to stop your drug business?
772
00:39:48,836 --> 00:39:50,316
It is not their
business to do so.
773
00:39:50,405 --> 00:39:51,725
It is the Afghan government's.
774
00:39:51,806 --> 00:39:54,492
And they haven't done anything
to interdict your activities?
775
00:39:54,576 --> 00:39:56,465
Under the Taliban,
opium was forbidden.
776
00:39:57,111 --> 00:39:58,591
Now it is flourishing.
777
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,501
Which is why we
have come to America.
778
00:40:01,382 --> 00:40:03,567
To look for new
markets for our products.
779
00:40:03,651 --> 00:40:04,937
Like New York?
780
00:40:05,019 --> 00:40:07,238
One of the biggest.
The sky is the limit.
781
00:40:10,625 --> 00:40:11,809
Mr. Khaleel,
782
00:40:12,794 --> 00:40:17,516
did you authorize Hydar Raheem
to murder your business rivals?
783
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:18,919
Absolutely not.
784
00:40:20,068 --> 00:40:23,220
I asked him to retrieve the
heroin that was stolen from me.
785
00:40:23,771 --> 00:40:24,989
That's all.
786
00:40:36,851 --> 00:40:38,638
Everything's been taken care of?
787
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:41,701
As you instructed.
I called Bardha.
788
00:40:42,590 --> 00:40:44,946
I told him this was
a serious problem.
789
00:40:45,426 --> 00:40:47,145
And?
790
00:40:47,228 --> 00:40:48,912
We have our product back.
791
00:40:51,633 --> 00:40:53,147
Santiago and his friends?
792
00:40:53,835 --> 00:40:55,224
Bardha took care of them.
793
00:40:56,771 --> 00:40:58,251
Excellent.
794
00:41:02,443 --> 00:41:04,696
That's you talking
to Mr. Raheem, sir?
795
00:41:06,481 --> 00:41:07,733
Yes.
796
00:41:07,815 --> 00:41:10,034
Gloating over the murders
of your rival drug dealers?
797
00:41:10,118 --> 00:41:13,873
Listen to the videotape. I did
not say I did anything like that.
798
00:41:14,389 --> 00:41:16,346
But Mr. Raheem did
in fact work for you?
799
00:41:16,424 --> 00:41:19,144
From time to time. The
man is not my puppet.
800
00:41:20,028 --> 00:41:21,883
So which is it, Mr. Khaleel,
801
00:41:22,363 --> 00:41:24,116
you deny ordering the murders
802
00:41:24,198 --> 00:41:26,850
or the United States
authorized you to do so
803
00:41:26,934 --> 00:41:28,891
to protect your identity
as a drug dealer?
804
00:41:29,003 --> 00:41:30,722
I don't understand
your question.
805
00:41:30,805 --> 00:41:34,025
Of course you do. Make a
choice in front of this jury.
806
00:41:35,343 --> 00:41:38,461
You ordered the murders
or you had no hand in them?
807
00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:45,504
Every day in my
part of the world,
808
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:49,637
the United States drops a bomb or fires
a missile in order to kill terrorists.
809
00:41:50,258 --> 00:41:51,840
Do other people die as a result?
810
00:41:51,926 --> 00:41:53,883
Yes, regrettably.
811
00:41:54,395 --> 00:41:55,818
But for the greater good.
812
00:41:57,365 --> 00:41:59,084
I ordered no murders.
813
00:41:59,167 --> 00:42:01,318
I simply dispatched
a subordinate
814
00:42:01,402 --> 00:42:03,962
to retrieve the product
that was stolen from me.
815
00:42:04,672 --> 00:42:06,459
Using any means necessary?
816
00:42:09,877 --> 00:42:11,596
I don't know how to answer that.
817
00:42:16,184 --> 00:42:18,574
I believe you just
did, Mr. Khaleel.
818
00:42:31,065 --> 00:42:32,954
Has the jury reached a verdict?
819
00:42:33,034 --> 00:42:34,548
Yes, we have, Your Honor.
820
00:42:34,635 --> 00:42:35,682
How do you find?
821
00:42:35,770 --> 00:42:37,955
We find the defendant,
Qaadar Khaleel,
822
00:42:38,039 --> 00:42:40,725
guilty of eight counts of
murder in the first degree.
823
00:42:57,291 --> 00:43:00,477
It's basic physics. For every
action there is a reaction.
824
00:43:01,129 --> 00:43:04,145
We arm the mujahideen
to fight the Soviet Union,
825
00:43:04,232 --> 00:43:05,814
they turned on us.
826
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:07,857
They'll attack us at
home and abroad.
827
00:43:08,102 --> 00:43:10,560
9/11, we invade Afghanistan,
828
00:43:10,638 --> 00:43:13,824
topple the Taliban, and the
world is flooded with cheap heroin.
829
00:43:14,375 --> 00:43:16,215
And I've got eight dead
bodies in New York City
830
00:43:16,277 --> 00:43:17,529
and more to come.
831
00:43:17,612 --> 00:43:19,194
It's called "blowback."
832
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,237
Unintended consequences.
833
00:43:21,449 --> 00:43:22,809
Something tells
me Khaleel won't be
834
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:26,366
the last unintended consequence
to show up on our doorstep.
