| [00:11] | It’s just a dream, baby. | |
| [00:31] | It should last you about six months, give or take. | |
| [00:42] | What’s going on? | |
| [00:44] | NNothing, kiddo. | |
| [00:45] | It’s just one of the tires. | |
| [01:14] | Morning, Officer. | |
| [01:16] | Saw you working on your tire. | |
| [01:17] | Thought maybe I could help. | |
| [01:21] | Wow, that’s really nice. | |
| [01:22] | Um, II’m already halfway done. | |
| [01:28] | You okay? | |
| [01:31] | Yeah. | |
| [01:32] | Since you have that mini spare on, mind the wind. | |
| [01:34] | Yeah, will do. | |
| [01:37] | Thanks, Officer. | |
| [01:45] | Ma’am, what is this? | |
| [01:48] | What’s in these little vials? | |
| [01:49] | It’s medicine. | |
| [01:51] | What kind of medicine? | |
| [01:54] | Lord, hear our prayer. | |
| [01:56] | Let us pray for Nicholas Allen, who still battles with leukemia. | |
| [02:00] | Lord, hear our prayer. | |
| [02:03] | Let us pray for Mary Sims, | |
| [02:04] | who is still recovering from a difficult heart surgery. | |
| [02:07] | Lord, hear our prayer. | |
| [02:09] | And for anyone experiencing any health challenges, | |
| [02:12] | let us pray. | |
| [02:14] | Lord, hear our prayer. | |
| [02:20] | I was out to your mother’s grave | |
| [02:22] | not two weeks ago. | |
| [02:25] | I knew it was you. | |
| [02:27] | Mrs. Allen, so good to see you. | |
| [02:31] | I haven’t been in that church in eight years. | |
| [02:34] | After my hip replacement, I started going to St. Mary’s. | |
| [02:37] | It’s closer to my apartment. | |
| [02:39] | Makes sense. | |
| [02:41] | I miss your mother so. | |
| [02:45] | Best office manager ever. | |
| [02:50] | Well, she always said you were the best paralegal ever. | |
| [02:54] | I need a lawyer, Benny. | |
| [02:56] | A really good criminal lawyer. | |
| [02:59] | Not a real estate attorney like your mother and I worked for, | |
| [03:03] | not a paper pusher, a criminal attorney. | |
| [03:09] | Someone like you. | |
| [03:12] | It’s an oil. | |
| [03:14] | Made from marijuana. | |
| [03:15] | No, no, no. | |
| [03:18] | You can’t get high from it. | |
| [03:19] | Doesn’t affect the brain that way. | |
| [03:21] | It’s typically used for pain or nausea. | |
| [03:23] | It’s legal in New York, right? | |
| [03:25] | With a prescription. | |
| [03:26] | So this friend of yours’s daughter, | |
| [03:28] | she lives in Virginia? | |
| [03:30] | Which is why she was arrested. | |
| [03:33] | You have to be a resident of New York | |
| [03:36] | to get a prescription to purchase it here. | |
| [03:39] | Right. So how much did she have? | |
| [03:40] | Couple hundred vials. | |
| [03:45] | Way to bury the lede. | |
| [03:46] | Yeah, I know. It sounds like a lot. | |
| [03:49] | Well, it sounds like a lot because it is a lot. | |
| [03:51] | What, was she selling them out of the trunk of her car | |
| [03:53] | at the local flea market? | |
| [03:56] | Problem is, your friend’s daughter knew it was illegal, | |
| [03:58] | and she did it anyway, not for one or two vials. | |
| [04:01] | Well, the way her mom explains it, | |
| [04:03] | she only buys it twice a year, so she gets a really big supply. | |
| [04:08] | And you know… | |
| [04:09] | The thing is, if she lived in New York, | |
| [04:11] | we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. | |
| [04:13] | She would get it monthly, legally. | |
| [04:16] | You know better than I do, it’s completely irrelevant. | |
| [04:18] | If she wants to buy this stuff, if she needs to buy this stuff, | |
| [04:20] | she should move to a place where it’s legal | |
| [04:22] | so she’s not knowingly breaking the law. | |
| [04:24] | Come on, it’s a Class C felony, | |
| [04:26] | so it’s only a year, minimum sentence. | |
| [04:28] | We’ve pled out harsher charges than that. | |
| [04:30] | Bull… | |
| [04:31] | Look. | |
| [04:33] | I don’t really ask for a lot of favors. | |
| [04:35] | She’s being held | |
| [04:36] | at the Woodbury police station jail, | |
| [04:39] | and is being released in the morning. | |
| [04:40] | I’m gonna run down there tomorrow, | |
| [04:42] | meet her at the D.A.’s office, where hopefully, | |
| [04:44] | I can negotiate a deal. | |
| [04:48] | I think it would make a big difference if you were there. | |
| [04:53] | Wait here, please. | |
| [04:57] | Thank you both, for jumping into the fray on such short notice. | |
| [05:01] | Your mom, my mom. | |
| [05:05] | This is Dr. Jason Bull, by the way. | |
| [05:07] | I don’t have a mom in this fight, | |
| [05:09] | but, it’s a pleasure to meet you. | |
| [05:11] | What kind of doctor? | |
| [05:12] | Psychologist. | |
| [05:14] | Dr. Laura Allen. | |
| [05:15] | Primary care physician. | |
| [05:18] | So, Doctor, just curious, | |
| [05:20] | what is it, exactly, you use all this CBD oil for? | |
| [05:24] | Pain management. | |
| [05:26] | Headaches, mostly. | |
| [05:29] | Sorry to keep you waiting. | |
| [05:31] | Come on in. | |
| [05:32] | All right. | |
| [05:41] | Dr. Allen. | |
| [05:43] | I am Assistant United States Attorney Sylvia Banner. | |
| [05:48] | These two gentlemen your counsel? | |
| [05:49] | Benjamin Colón, attorney; Dr. Jason Bull, trial scientist. | |
| [05:54] | I’m sorry. | |
| [05:56] | II think there might be some mistake here. | |
| [05:58] | I was under the impression that we were meeting. | |
| [06:00] | District Attorney “Morris Frank”? | |
| [06:03] | From the city of Woodbury? | |
| [06:04] | There was a slight miscommunication. | |
| [06:07] | D.A. Frank was kind enough to lend us his office. | |
| [06:12] | This is now a federal matter. | |
| [06:14] | – Federal matter? – WWait, wait. | |
| [06:16] | We’re talking about a couple hundred vials | |
| [06:18] | of nonpsychoactive CBD oil | |
| [06:21] | for her personal use; I mean, | |
| [06:24] | doesn’t the federal government have better things to do? | |
| [06:26] | Actually, we don’t. | |
| [06:29] | And it’s 1,800 vials. | |
| [06:32] | 1,800 vials that we believe | |
| [06:36] | were intended for sale to no less than 27 other people | |
| [06:38] | in the state of Virginia. | |
| [06:39] | And this would not be the first time that Dr. Allen smuggled | |
| [06:42] | controlled substances across state lines. | |
| [06:45] | TThey’re for my patients. | |
| [06:47] | I sell them to my patients for exactly what it costs me. | |
| [06:49] | You have the right to remain silent. Dr. Allen, you are being charged | |
| [06:51] | with 27 counts of possession | |
| [06:54] | of a controlled substance with intent to distribute | |
| [06:56] | in violation of federal law. | |
| [06:57] | In addition, you are being charged | |
| [06:59] | with violating interstate commerce rules, | |
| [07:01] | which strictly forbid the transportation | |
| [07:03] | across state lines of controlled substances | |
| [07:05] | by persons without license to do so. | |
| [07:07] | Mr. Colón, please, you have to call my mom. | |
| [07:10] | Don’t say another word, Dr. Allen, and don’t worry, | |
| [07:12] | I’ll make that call. | |
| [07:29] | She broke the law, folks. | |
| [07:30] | It’s the bottom line. | |
| [07:31] | So what we need to do is get a jury that understands | |
| [07:35] | that it’s not something she chose to do. | |
| [07:37] | She had no choice. | |
| [07:39] | But she did. You know that. She had a choice. | |
| [07:42] | Did she? | |
| [07:44] | I don’t think so. | |
| [07:46] | We are going to argue that Laura had | |
| [07:48] | a professional responsibility | |
| [07:50] | to give her patients the best care possible. | |
| [07:53] | Even if it meant breaking the law. | |
| [07:55] | So what kind of jurors are we looking for? | |
| [07:58] | What we’re looking for are jurors who are professionals. | |
| [08:02] | Professionals who feel a sense of duty | |
| [08:04] | to do their absolute best. | |
| [08:07] | Teachers, firefighters, emergency room doctors. | |
| [08:12] | People who relate to Laura because, in their line of work, | |
| [08:15] | they, too, go above and beyond. | |
| [08:18] | Do we have any teachers with us today? | |
| [08:22] | All right, and, what grade do you teach? | |
| [08:24] | I teach ninth grade biology; I also coach | |
| [08:26] | the girls’ basketball team. | |
| [08:27] | She’s been at her current school for almost 20 years. | |
| [08:30] | It’s quite a stint. | |
| [08:31] | Let’s say you were offered the same job | |
| [08:34] | at a different school, but double the pay. | |
| [08:37] | Would you take it? | |
| [08:38] | Would I take it? | |
| [08:39] | I don’t think so. | |
| [08:40] | I mean, I would never leave my girls. | |
| [08:42] | You can’t buy what coaching my team gives me. | |
| [08:47] | This juror is acceptable to the defense, Your Honor. | |
| [08:52] | What we want are jurors who posses deontological ethics. | |
| [08:56] | One more time, for those of us | |
| [08:58] | who don’t read the dictionary for fun. | |
| [09:01] | People who are committed to doing their absolute best | |
| [09:03] | for the people who depend on them, | |
| [09:05] | no matter what the consequences. | |
| [09:08] | And what do you do for a living? | |
| [09:10] | II’m a county clerk. | |
| [09:12] | Okay. | |
| [09:13] | Do you like your job? | |
| [09:14] | I love my job. | |
| [09:16] | – And, how are your hours? – You mean, | |
| [09:18] | when am I supposed to be there by, | |
| [09:19] | or when do I actually show up? | |
| [09:20] | Okay. | |
| [09:23] | Let’s start with when you’re supposed to be there. | |
| [09:25] | 9:00. | |
| [09:26] | And when do you usually show up? | |
| [09:28] | Between 7:30 and 8:00. | |
| [09:29] | Now, what’s that about? | |
| [09:31] | Is the commute easier if you get an early start? | |
| [09:33] | No, it’s just about making sure everything’s really ready, | |
| [09:36] | so when people come in at 9:00, I’m prepared to help them, | |
| [09:40] | and they don’t have to wait any longer than necessary. | |
| [09:47] | This juror is acceptable to the defense, Your Honor. | |
| [09:54] | All right. | |
| [09:57] | Do you believe in the rule of law? | |
| [10:00] | Sure do. | |
| [10:01] | And as a county clerk, | |
| [10:02] | isn’t part of your job issuing permits? | |
| [10:05] | Among other things. | |
| [10:06] | So if somebody comes in, they want a permit, | |
| [10:09] | they want to build a 12foot wall in front of their house, | |
| [10:12] | but the code says walls can only be eight feet. | |
| [10:16] | What do you do? | |
| [10:17] | I’d have to deny the permit. | |
| [10:19] | Because…? | |
| [10:21] | That’s the law. | |
| [10:22] | No matter what time you get into work. | |
| [10:24] | No matter what time I come into work. | |
| [10:28] | This juror is also acceptable | |
| [10:30] | to the prosecution, | |
| [10:32] | Your Honor. | |
| [10:34] | We have our jury. | |
| [10:37] | Doctor? | |
| [10:42] | So, what’s your thesis here? | |
| [10:45] | That people who love their jobs | |
| [10:47] | will look the other way when a citizen breaks the law? | |
| [10:52] | Well, as long as you’re asking, what’s your thesis here? | |
| [10:55] | Yes, she broke the law in Virginia, but not in New York. | |
| [10:59] | And to what end? | |
| [11:00] | So that people in pain could experience some relief? | |
| [11:03] | Thank goodness you’re here to make sure that evildoers | |
| [11:05] | like Dr. Allen don’t get away with anything. | |
| [11:09] | Excuse me. | |
| [11:11] | What was that all about? | |
| [11:13] | Just wishing each other luck. | |
| [11:15] | Mom! | |
| [11:17] | Nick. | |
| [11:20] | Mom. What are you doing here? | |
| [11:23] | Sorry. Dr. Bull, | |
| [11:25] | this is my mom. | |
| [11:27] | And this is my son, Nicholas. | |
| [11:29] | So, is it Nicholas, | |
| [11:31] | Nicky, Nick, or… Dude? | |
| [11:34] | Nick. | |
| [11:37] | But I kind of like Dude. | |
| [11:39] | Then Dude it shall be. | |
| [11:41] | And you can call me Dr. Bull. | |
| [11:44] | I think we had aa good day. | |
| [11:46] | Great day. | |
| [11:47] | More great days to come. | |
| [11:49] | Okay. Then we should get out of here… | |
| [11:52] | Yeah… while the getting’s good. | |
| [11:57] | How sick do you think he is? | |
| [11:59] | Well… | |
| [12:01] | they were praying for him at church. | |
| [12:03] | Excuse me? | |
| [12:04] | Yeah. | |
| [12:06] | Priest said a prayer for him during Mass. | |
| [12:08] | I mean, it… flew right past me, | |
| [12:10] | but.. he said it was leukemia. | |
| [12:12] | Of course. | |
| [12:15] | That’s how she found out about the CBD oil: | |
| [12:17] | Her son’s cancer. | |
| [12:19] | Yeah, but why wouldn’t she be honest about that? | |
| [12:22] | Well, I’m guessing she didn’t want us to know | |
| [12:24] | she’s using CBD oil on a minor. | |
| [12:34] | As a Doctor of Pharmacology | |
| [12:37] | at the largest teaching hospital on the East Coast, | |
| [12:39] | what is your opinion | |
| [12:42] | on CBD oil as a treatment option? | |
| [12:45] | At this time, the federal government classifies it | |
| [12:48] | as a Schedule I drug, | |
| [12:50] | which means it has no medical benefit whatsoever. | |
| [12:53] | I think that says it all. | |
| [12:54] | So I am curious. | |
| [12:56] | Based on your medical expertise, | |
| [12:58] | would you recommend CBD oil as a treatment | |
| [13:01] | – for MS? – No. | |
| [13:04] | – What about Parkinson’s disease? – No. | |
| [13:07] | And would you recommend it as a treatment for… | |
| [13:10] | an adult suffering from leukemia? | |
| [13:14] | No, I would not. | |
| [13:15] | And based on your medical expertise, | |
| [13:18] | how would you characterize the choice | |
| [13:21] | to treat a child’s leukemia | |
| [13:24] | with CBD oil? | |
| [13:26] | I would characterize it as reckless… | |
| [13:30] | unsound, unsafe, dangerous… | |
| [13:34] | and, while I’m not a lawyer, | |
| [13:35] | I would venture to say almost certainly criminal. | |
| [13:38] | Objection, Your Honor. | |
| [13:40] | The man is guessing. And he’s not a lawyer. | |
| [13:42] | His opinion as to the criminality | |
| [13:44] | of this hypothetical example is just that, an opinion. | |
| [13:48] | Objection sustained. Jury will disregard Dr. Yates’s opinion | |
| [13:51] | with regard to criminality. | |
| [13:54] | But they won’t, will they? | |
| [13:56] | Not a chance. | |
| [13:57] | I have no more questions, | |
| [13:59] | – Your Honor. – We’ll resume | |
| [14:01] | hearing testimony tomorrow. | |
| [14:02] | This court is adjourned. | |
| [14:06] | How red is it over there? | |
| [14:07] | You know the Red Sea? | |
| [14:09] | You know that reindeer Rudolph’s nose? | |
| [14:11] | You know when they roll out the red carpet? | |
| [14:14] | I’m not following you. | |
| [14:16] | Yeah, it’s red. You’re a little slow today. | |
| [14:20] | So, what are you doing after court? | |
| [14:22] | We need to have an honest conversation. | |
| [14:24] | You can see where the other side’s going. | |
| [14:26] | They’re getting ready to use your son against you | |
| [14:28] | like a baseball bat. | |
| [14:30] | The fact that he has leukemia. | |
| [14:32] | The fact that you’re treating him with CBD oil. | |
| [14:34] | That’s what’s going on, isn’t it? | |
| [14:35] | You’re saying that as if it’s a bad thing. | |
| [14:37] | Well, that is, according to their expert today… | |
| [14:39] | Please. That supposed expert was wrong. | |
| [14:42] | The oil has been a huge help with every… | |
| [14:45] | It doesn’t matter whether he’s wrong about that. | |
| [14:46] | What he’s right about, | |
| [14:47] | or at least will be as far as the jury’s concerned, | |
| [14:50] | is that when you’re giving this oil to your adult patients, | |
| [14:54] | they are capable of making a decision | |
| [14:56] | about whether or not they want to take it. | |
| [14:57] | But when you’re giving it to a child… | |
| [14:59] | My child. | |
| [15:03] | My child. | |
| [15:06] | I’m not a monster. | |
| [15:09] | I know. | |
| [15:10] | And that is why you’re here… today. | |
| [15:15] | We’re here to arm you. | |
| [15:18] | The defense calls Dr. Laura Allen. | |
| [15:24] | My son was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago. | |
| [15:28] | He immediately started chemotherapy. | |
| [15:31] | At first the side effects were tolerable. | |
| [15:33] | A little nausea, some vomiting once or twice a week. | |
| [15:39] | Then it was every day. | |
| [15:41] | And then it was every day, three, four times a day. | |
| [15:46] | He lost 20 pounds that first month. | |
| [15:50] | We tried everything to alleviate his misery, | |
| [15:52] | but nothing worked. | |
| [15:54] | He was so weak. | |
| [15:57] | If he could… | |
| [16:00] | if he could get out of bed and make it to the bathroom, | |
| [16:02] | it was a good day. | |
| [16:04] | And there were not a lot of good days. | |
| [16:08] | Then I walked into his room one night to check on him, | |
| [16:11] | and he was sitting on his bed, | |
| [16:13] | holding a plastic bag over his head. | |
| [16:18] | I don’t know where he got the idea… | |
| [16:20] | he still won’t tell me… but I knew what he was trying to do. | |
| [16:24] | I stopped the chemo the next day. | |
| [16:30] | But… I’m a doctor, | |
| [16:32] | and I knew stopping the chemo wasn’t the answer. | |
| [16:35] | We were gonna have to resume the treatment again at some point. | |
| [16:39] | I honestly didn’t know what to do. | |
| [16:42] | Then I read about CBD oil. | |
| [16:44] | So I drove to New York, | |
| [16:46] | wrote myself a bogus prescription, | |
| [16:48] | and I bought one vial. | |
| [16:50] | I gave Nicholas one dropperful, | |
| [16:53] | and within two hours, he stopped throwing up. | |
| [16:56] | Over the course of the next two weeks, | |
| [16:58] | he put on five pounds, and he was up and out of bed. | |
| [17:02] | He even had some friends over to play. | |
| [17:05] | My baby was living his life again | |
| [17:07] | instead of just waiting to die. | |
| [17:12] | So why not… move to New York | |
| [17:15] | or another state where it’s legal? | |
| [17:18] | I thought about that. | |
| [17:22] | But after seeing how much CBD oil helped my son, | |
| [17:25] | it occurred to me it might also help some of my patients. | |
| [17:29] | And how do you abandon people at that point? | |
| [17:33] | You show them something that works, and then… | |
| [17:36] | you just leave? | |
| [17:38] | You just… | |
| [17:41] | you just take it away from them? | |
| [17:47] | I know we brought her here to prepare her to testify… | |
| [17:50] | but I don’t know how you improve on what she just did. | |
| [18:04] | I know you were hoping to avoid telling this part of the story. | |
| [18:09] | And I know… | |
| [18:10] | it feels private and personal, | |
| [18:13] | and it half belongs to your son, but I need you… | |
| [18:17] | to make your peace with it… | |
| [18:20] | because when it comes time to defend you… | |
| [18:25] | it may be the only option we have. | |
| [18:35] | Think Nick’ll still be up when you get home? | |
| [18:38] | I hope so. | |
| [18:43] | Thanks for the ride. | |
| [18:44] | You’re on my way. | |
| [18:46] | No, I’m not. | |
| [18:48] | Benny told me where you live. | |
| [18:50] | You live downtown. | |
| [18:52] | They have bars where you live? | |
| [18:54] | – Of course. – Then you’re on my way. | |
| [18:59] | Does somebody have a problem? | |
| [19:02] | With what? | |
| [19:04] | Drinking? | |
| [19:06] | Nah, I drink fine. | |
| [19:10] | I’ll make you a deal. | |
| [19:12] | Come in the house with me, say hi to my mom… | |
| [19:15] | and Nick, if he’s up… | |
| [19:18] | and I’ll make both of us a drink. | |
| [19:20] | Though I’m not sure what kind of liquor my mom has. | |
| [19:23] | Why would you do that? | |
| [19:24] | ‘Cause I want to keep an eye on you. | |
| [19:26] | I need you in court tomorrow, preferably not hungover. | |
| [19:35] | Hi, Mom! Nick! | |
| [19:37] | Mom, it’s the middle of winter. | |
| [19:39] | I don’t know what to tell you. | |
| [19:40] | First he’s cold, then he’s hot, then he’s cold, then he’s hot. | |
| [19:43] | Get over here. | |
| [19:44] | Come here. | |
| [19:46] | Mom, you’re embarrassing me. | |
| [19:48] | Yeah, well, you were the one sitting around in your underwear | |
| [19:50] | like some kind of a nudist, and I’m embarrassing you? | |
| [19:52] | Maybe I should come back another time. | |
| [19:54] | No. No. | |
| [20:07] | – Can I help you? – Dr. Laura Allen? | |
| [20:10] | I’m with New York City Children’s Services, | |
| [20:12] | and we have an order to remove Nicholas Allen | |
| [20:14] | from this residence. | |
| [20:15] | Remove Nicholas? What are you talking about? | |
| [20:19] | They’re taking him over to Sacred Heart Hospital for observation. | |
| [20:22] | Put him under a 24hour hold. | |
| [20:24] | Mom? What’s going on? | |
| [20:26] | Stay where you are. | |
| [20:28] | – No one’s taking my son anywhere. – So, who called you? | |
| [20:30] | Obviously, someone filed a complaint. | |
| [20:32] | I’m sorry. I’m forbidden by law to tell you | |
| [20:34] | – who initiated this action. – It wouldn’t happen | |
| [20:35] | to be the assistant United States attorney, would it? | |
| [20:38] | Fine. No names. | |
| [20:40] | I’m part of Dr. Allen’s legal team. | |
| [20:42] | Can you tell me what this anonymous source alleges? | |
| [20:45] | All I know is that a minor named Nicholas Allen | |
| [20:48] | is supposedly being denied proper medical care | |
| [20:50] | and that his life is in imminent danger | |
| [20:51] | and illegal drugs are involved. | |
| [20:53] | This is a nightmare. | |
| [20:55] | I’m sorry, but I need you to surrender him | |
| [20:56] | to this officer, ma’am. | |
| [20:58] | No. | |
| [20:59] | Laura, we don’t have a choice. | |
| [21:01] | You better knock me down. You better mace me. | |
| [21:04] | You better take me to prison, because that’s the only way | |
| [21:06] | – you’re getting to my little boy. – No! Mom! | |
| [21:08] | Don’t let them take me! | |
| [21:09] | It’s okay. Okay, I’m calling for backup. | |
| [21:11] | Don’t do that. Wait a second. | |
| [21:13] | Listen. | |
| [21:16] | We will take him in my car. We’re taking him. | |
| [21:19] | You can follow us or we’ll follow you. | |
| [21:21] | But we’re taking him. | |
| [21:23] | His mother and I are taking him to the hospital. | |
| [21:25] | Right, Dr. Allen? | |
| [21:27] | That’s what you want, right? | |
| [21:29] | You want him to go to the hospital? | |
| [21:30] | Nowhere on this paper does it say we can’t take him there | |
| [21:34] | and you can’t stay with him there. | |
| [21:40] | Mom, pack Nicky a bag. | |
| [21:54] | Dr. Allen, it’s almost 11:00 at night | |
| [21:57] | and we both need to be in court tomorrow. | |
| [22:02] | I know you want to be near your son. | |
| [22:04] | But… they’re never gonna let that happen, | |
| [22:09] | not for at least another 22 hours. | |
| [22:14] | What do you say we get out of here? | |
| [22:17] | You can go. I’m just gonna sit here. | |
| [22:27] | You want me to get someone from my office | |
| [22:29] | to come and sit with you? | |
| [22:31] | I don’t want you sitting alone. | |
| [22:33] | I asked the doctor what if he sees something, | |
| [22:37] | something he doesn’t agree with, | |
| [22:39] | something that, in his mind, | |
| [22:40] | indicates that Nick’s not getting the care that he needs? | |
| [22:43] | What happens then? | |
| [22:45] | And? | |
| [22:49] | And he said they’d probably put him in foster care. | |
| [22:52] | You know I wouldn’t let that happen, | |
| [22:55] | at least not without a fight. | |
| [23:01] | I’m on trial for trying to make my dying son feel better. | |
| [23:04] | How screwed up is that? | |
| [23:06] | So do I believe that if they want | |
| [23:08] | to take my son away from me, they will? | |
| [23:10] | You’re damn right I do. | |
| [23:19] | I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being difficult. | |
| [23:22] | I’m sorry for being dramatic. | |
| [23:24] | You can go. | |
| [23:26] | I’ll be fine. | |
| [23:27] | I’ll see you in the morning. | |
| [23:29] | I’m happy to call someone. | |
| [23:31] | No. I want to be alone… | |
| [23:35] | with him… | |
| [23:38] | or at least near him. | |
| [23:42] | 15, 20 more minutes, I’ll be leaving, too. | |
| [23:44] | Honestly. | |
| [23:47] | Will you call me or text me when you get home? | |
| [23:51] | No. | |
| [23:52] | I’m a grownup. | |
| [23:55] | I’ll see you in the morning. | |
| [24:21] | Your Honor. | |
| [24:22] | We have been sitting here and waiting | |
| [24:25] | for almost an hour and 15 minutes. | |
| [24:28] | Do we know if the defendant is planning | |
| [24:30] | on deigning us with her presence or not? | |
| [24:32] | Gentlemen, what do we know? | |
| [24:34] | Your Honor, she is on her way. | |
| [24:39] | Please tell me she’s on her way. | |
| [24:51] | Where the hell are you? | |
| [24:53] | Nicholas is gone. | |
| [24:55] | What? | |
| [24:56] | He ran away. | |
| [24:57] | I came to the hospital to try to see him | |
| [24:59] | before court this morning and when I got here, he was gone. | |
| [25:02] | No one even knew he was missing. | |
| [25:03] | I’m in my car. I’ml’m looking for him. | |
| [25:06] | Laura, I need you to listen to me. | |
| [25:07] | I’ll get my team to find Nicholas, okay? | |
| [25:09] | What I need you to do right now is come to court and testify. | |
| [25:13] | Laura? | |
| [25:15] | Laura. | |
| [25:19] | Counselor, it’s time to move on. | |
| [25:22] | Your Honor, I just got off the phone | |
| [25:23] | with Dr. Allen. Turns out her son is missing | |
| [25:26] | from the hospital. | |
| [25:27] | She’s out looking for him. If we could just take… | |
| [25:28] | No, we can’t “just.” | |
| [25:30] | You and your client have exhausted this court’s patience. | |
| [25:33] | I’m issuing a warrant for Dr. Allen’s arrest. | |
| [25:36] | Call a witness, any witness | |
| [25:37] | and stretch out their testimony as long as you can. | |
| [25:39] | I’ll be back. | |
| [25:47] | Yeah? | |
| [25:50] | I’ll be there in 15 minutes. | |
| [25:52] | I heard them talking about chemo last night and it scared me. | |
| [25:55] | So I waited till the sun came up, put on my clothes | |
| [25:57] | and just walked out. | |
| [25:59] | I thought I could make it to the courthouse to find Mom, | |
| [26:01] | but I got so tired. | |
| [26:03] | I picked him up at a park nearby. | |
| [26:05] | This nice lady let me use her phone. | |
| [26:07] | Sorry to interrupt. | |
| [26:10] | We haven’t met. You the dad? | |
| [26:12] | Um, Dr. Jason Bull. I’m part of the legal team. | |
| [26:14] | Forgive me. Dr. Kulkarni. | |
| [26:18] | Want the good news or you want the good news? | |
| [26:21] | After a full evaluation, I’m in complete support | |
| [26:23] | of your treatment regimen, including the CBD oil. | |
| [26:27] | – That’s great. – Yeah. Honestly, I… | |
| [26:30] | I couldn’t have advised a better treatment plan than yours. | |
| [26:33] | I do want Nicholas to stay with us one more night, though. | |
| [26:36] | That little trip to the park | |
| [26:37] | dehydrated you just a little bit. | |
| [26:38] | Want to give him some fluids. | |
| [26:40] | What about Child Services? | |
| [26:42] | I’ll have my report in the next hour. | |
| [26:44] | My guess is that Nicholas will be able to go home with you tomorrow. | |
| [26:51] | Thank you, Doctor. | |
| [26:52] | Thank you, Doctor. | |
| [26:54] | Anybody have any questions, I’ll be around. | |
| [26:59] | Forgive me, Doctor. | |
| [27:01] | If I needed you to testify about the efficacy | |
| [27:06] | of Dr. Allen’s treatment, would you be willing? | |
| [27:08] | Of course. Schedule permitting. | |
| [27:10] | Thank you. | |
| [27:14] | We have to handle one other thing. | |
| [27:17] | What’s that? | |
| [27:19] | There is a warrant out for your arrest. | |
| [27:21] | She felt she had no choice but to go and find | |
| [27:24] | her son since the people who were supposed | |
| [27:25] | to be responsible for him clearly weren’t up to the task. | |
| [27:28] | How can you fault a parent | |
| [27:29] | convinced that her son was in danger | |
| [27:31] | for doing what any parent would do in this situation? | |
| [27:34] | Dr. Bull, your client is charged with a serious crime | |
| [27:38] | that could see her spend 20 years in a federal prison. | |
| [27:41] | She was out on bail | |
| [27:43] | and due in court this morning. | |
| [27:45] | Neither she nor you made any effort | |
| [27:47] | to communicate with this court | |
| [27:48] | in any way to seek its permission | |
| [27:51] | to search for her son. | |
| [27:54] | I’m revoking your bail. | |
| [27:56] | And remanding you | |
| [27:58] | to the jail here in the federal courthouse | |
| [28:00] | until the completion | |
| [28:01] | – of your hearing. – But Your Honor… | |
| [28:03] | Your Honor, my son’s in the hospital. He’s waiting for me. | |
| [28:05] | Well, someone will just have to explain to him | |
| [28:08] | what happens when people flaunt the law. | |
| [28:10] | See you in court tomorrow morning. | |
| [28:31] | 8:00 a.m., everybody’s here just as you asked. | |
| [28:33] | Car downstairs to take Benny and me to court? | |
| [28:36] | Last I checked. | |
| [28:37] | Let’s do this. | |
| [28:39] | Marissa, | |
| [28:41] | where are we with the mirror jurors? | |
| [28:44] | Three green and nine red. | |
| [28:48] | Okay. Chunk. | |
| [28:50] | I need you to prep Dr. Kulkarni. Okay? | |
| [28:53] | Now, he’s due to go on the stand later this afternoon | |
| [28:56] | and he is a busy guy and he is gonna resist this notion, | |
| [28:59] | but go to the hospital if you have to. | |
| [29:01] | Do it in the hall between surgeries. I don’t care. | |
| [29:04] | It’s a tall order, but I’m a tall man. | |
| [29:07] | Yes, you are. | |
| [29:09] | Danny. | |
| [29:10] | Let’s try and round up as many | |
| [29:12] | of Laura’s 27 patients as we can. | |
| [29:14] | Get them into Manhattan and I want you to march them | |
| [29:16] | into that courtroom and force that judge, that jury | |
| [29:18] | and even that tightass federal prosecutor | |
| [29:20] | to see whose quality of life it is they are monkeying with. | |
| [29:23] | I’ll do the best I can. | |
| [29:27] | Cable. | |
| [29:29] | I need you to really drill down on that jury, | |
| [29:32] | just check for any sweet spots we might’ve missed | |
| [29:34] | because everybody gets sick. | |
| [29:37] | Everybody has a doctor and there has got to be a way | |
| [29:40] | to reach these people we’re not tapping into. | |
| [29:42] | I’m on it. | |
| [29:43] | Dr. Kulkarni, | |
| [29:46] | how long have you been a boardcertified oncologist? | |
| [29:50] | 17 years. | |
| [29:51] | And at the behest | |
| [29:53] | of the City of New York’s Child Services Bureau, | |
| [29:55] | you have thoroughly examined Dr. Allen’s son, Nicholas. | |
| [29:59] | I have. | |
| [30:00] | And how would you characterize | |
| [30:01] | the level of care he’s been receiving? | |
| [30:03] | Outstanding. | |
| [30:04] | Even though that care has included | |
| [30:06] | the administration of CBD oil? | |
| [30:08] | Yes, absolutely. | |
| [30:09] | Isn’t it true that doctors, | |
| [30:11] | real dedicated doctors, are often torn | |
| [30:15] | between doing what’s required and doing what they know | |
| [30:19] | to be the best thing for their patients? | |
| [30:21] | Like, the insurance will say a doctor can only do “X” | |
| [30:25] | when he or she knows that they really need to do “Y,” too. | |
| [30:29] | Objection. | |
| [30:30] | The defense is asking the witness to speculate. | |
| [30:33] | Sustained. | |
| [30:34] | Okay. Letlet me ask this differently, Your Honor. | |
| [30:36] | II’d like to try and be of some help here. | |
| [30:39] | Maymay I tell you about something that happened to me? | |
| [30:43] | Your Honor? | |
| [30:45] | Nice move. | |
| [30:46] | Chunk, you really prepped this guy. | |
| [30:48] | You ain’t seen nothing yet. | |
| [30:52] | When I was 20 years old, | |
| [30:54] | my mother fell sick with esophageal cancer. | |
| [30:58] | It’s a particularly painful cancer of the throat. | |
| [31:02] | For several months, she was in and out of the hospital. | |
| [31:05] | And finally, they sent her home | |
| [31:08] | because there just wasn’t anything for them to do for her. | |
| [31:11] | This was before med school. | |
| [31:13] | I was going to local colleges, living at home. | |
| [31:16] | And at night, I’d sit in my room and I’d hear my mother | |
| [31:22] | either labor for breath | |
| [31:25] | or moan in pain. | |
| [31:27] | I mentioned this to a friend of mine at school | |
| [31:31] | and as it turned out, her dad was a doctor. | |
| [31:33] | So, came, saw my mother, spent some time with her | |
| [31:38] | and he told me he was gonna give her something for the pain. | |
| [31:43] | That something turned out to be morphine. | |
| [31:46] | It’s a tricky drug. | |
| [31:47] | Given in the right amount, | |
| [31:49] | it can do amazing things, but, um… | |
| [31:52] | give too much and the patient dies. | |
| [31:56] | In my mother’s case, it did just what it was supposed to do. | |
| [31:59] | The moaning stopped. | |
| [32:01] | The labored breath became less and less pronounced. | |
| [32:04] | She slept a lot, | |
| [32:06] | but always with a smile on her face. | |
| [32:09] | For the first time in two years, | |
| [32:11] | she was experiencing something like peace. | |
| [32:15] | Two days later, I walked into her room | |
| [32:20] | to tell her I was going to school. | |
| [32:24] | She wasn’t breathing. | |
| [32:25] | She had died during the night. | |
| [32:29] | Her pain gone. | |
| [32:34] | The smile still there. | |
| [32:37] | Now… was the doctor | |
| [32:40] | at fault? | |
| [32:42] | Did he give her too much morphine? | |
| [32:44] | We’ll never know. | |
| [32:46] | But I think he gave her what she needed: | |
| [32:49] | Mercy. | |
| [32:51] | No one talks about it, | |
| [32:53] | but doctors face these choices | |
| [32:55] | every day. | |
| [32:56] | But if they truly care about their patients… | |
| [32:59] | Objection. | |
| [33:00] | Overruled. | |
| [33:02] | We have seven, | |
| [33:04] | she has five. | |
| [33:05] | Dr. Kulkarni, | |
| [33:06] | you actually prescribe the same CBD oil | |
| [33:09] | to some of your patients as Dr. Allen does, don’t you? | |
| [33:12] | – I do. – So let me ask you something. | |
| [33:14] | Hypothetically speaking, how far would you go | |
| [33:17] | if you lived in a state where your ill patients | |
| [33:20] | couldn’t get the CBD oil they needed | |
| [33:22] | to relieve their suffering? | |
| [33:24] | That you needed to relieve your child’s suffering? | |
| [33:26] | I would hope that I would have the courage | |
| [33:29] | to go to hell and back. | |
| [33:30] | Just as Dr. Allen did. | |
| [33:35] | For those of you keeping score, | |
| [33:37] | we are staring at eight green and four red. | |
| [33:40] | And how far away are our surprise guests? | |
| [33:42] | They should be coming through the door any second now. | |
| [33:50] | I, apologize for the disruption, Your Honor. | |
| [33:54] | But these are 13 | |
| [33:56] | of the 27 patients that Dr. Allen | |
| [33:59] | has been treating with the CBD oil. | |
| [34:02] | They… | |
| [34:04] | came into the city today, | |
| [34:06] | at a moment’s notice, in hopes that we could put them | |
| [34:09] | on the witness list, | |
| [34:11] | and allow them to tell the jury | |
| [34:13] | how Dr. Allen has done | |
| [34:16] | nothing but make their treatments more bearable | |
| [34:20] | and their lives more livable. | |
| [34:22] | Objection! Your Honor, this is the first | |
| [34:25] | that the prosecution has heard about these witnesses. | |
| [34:28] | I would like to request a recess | |
| [34:30] | for the day… | |
| [34:32] | so that I could possibly vet the list. | |
| [34:34] | – Someone’s getting nervous. – Your Honor, | |
| [34:36] | I can’t guarantee I can get all these people back | |
| [34:38] | – if we recess today. – I love a good fight. | |
| [34:40] | If counsel for both sides will approach the bench. | |
| [34:45] | This is good. | |
| [34:47] | This is good for us. | |
| [34:50] | Yeah. | |
| [34:54] | The witness is dismissed. | |
| [34:57] | This court is adjourned until tomorrow morning. | |
| [35:02] | I’ll catch up with both of you later. | |
| [35:04] | There’s something I have to do. | |
| [35:11] | Of all the gin joints in all the world… | |
| [35:14] | within three blocks of the courthouse… | |
| [35:16] | I walk into yours. | |
| [35:19] | Hey. I like the color of her drink. | |
| [35:21] | I’ll have one of those. | |
| [35:25] | I think you and I have something to talk about. | |
| [35:27] | Really? | |
| [35:29] | You into women’s volleyball? | |
| [35:33] | The jury’s swinging my way; You know it, | |
| [35:36] | and I know it. | |
| [35:37] | Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. | |
| [35:40] | Humor me for a second. | |
| [35:42] | ‘Cause if I’m right… and this is what I do for a living… | |
| [35:45] | the game is pretty much over. | |
| [35:47] | I mean, maybe you squeak by with a mistrial, | |
| [35:50] | but is that really a risk you want to take? | |
| [35:54] | – What? – I’ml’m just trying | |
| [35:56] | to figure out how you got that… | |
| [35:58] | gigantic head of yours through that teenytiny door. | |
| [36:02] | Wow. She smiles, | |
| [36:04] | she jokes. | |
| [36:07] | She’s full of surprises. | |
| [36:09] | So, how about this? | |
| [36:11] | You reduce the charges to straight possession, | |
| [36:13] | my client will plead guilty to a misdemeanor | |
| [36:16] | and do… four years probation. | |
| [36:19] | She still has a fighting chance of keeping her medical license, | |
| [36:21] | and you get the conviction you want, | |
| [36:23] | and everybody wins. | |
| [36:26] | No. | |
| [36:28] | No? | |
| [36:29] | No. | |
| [36:32] | Even though you’re not gonna win? | |
| [36:34] | Even though I may not win. | |
| [36:42] | So, what’s your end game here? | |
| [36:44] | You get a kick out of tearing families apart? | |
| [36:46] | I know it was you who called Child Services. | |
| [36:48] | I never tried to hide that. | |
| [36:51] | You ever had a child? | |
| [36:56] | Are we… are we going there? | |
| [36:59] | I’vel’ve never had a child, so… | |
| [37:02] | I would never be able to understand | |
| [37:04] | what your client is going through? | |
| [37:06] | That is simpleminded. | |
| [37:09] | Even for you. | |
| [37:11] | And whatwhat about you? How many children | |
| [37:13] | do you have, Dr. Bull? | |
| [37:15] | Only a man with a name like “Bull” | |
| [37:17] | could equate fertility with empathy. | |
| [37:26] | One… but just for an inkling. A second. | |
| [37:32] | My exwife had a miscarriage. | |
| [37:38] | You’re right. | |
| [37:39] | I withdraw the question. Forgive me. | |
| [37:44] | Look… | |
| [37:45] | it is my job to help the courts adjudicate these cases. | |
| [37:49] | And once they do, the system takes over. | |
| [37:53] | It’s very simple. | |
| [37:55] | It’s not personal, Dr. Bull. | |
| [37:57] | It’s my job. | |
| [37:58] | It’s just my job. | |
| [38:00] | Your job. | |
| [38:01] | Not your agenda? | |
| [38:03] | You think I have an agenda? | |
| [38:05] | Well, why else would you choose to take the case? | |
| [38:07] | I chose this case because nobody else | |
| [38:09] | in my department would take it. | |
| [38:11] | They all sympathize with your client. | |
| [38:15] | Truth is, so do I. | |
| [38:17] | But… | |
| [38:19] | just like her, I took an oath, | |
| [38:21] | and just like her, I have a professional responsibility. | |
| [38:24] | Mine is to uphold the law. | |
| [38:29] | And when your beliefs don’t align with the law? | |
| [38:32] | Look… | |
| [38:34] | the reality is… | |
| [38:37] | our beliefs don’t matter… | |
| [38:39] | because it’s not up to us | |
| [38:41] | to decide what happens to Dr. Allen. | |
| [38:45] | I do my job. | |
| [38:46] | You do your job. | |
| [38:50] | The system does the rest. | |
| [39:04] | So, what did she say? | |
| [39:05] | She doesn’t want to play. | |
| [39:09] | Is there any good news? | |
| [39:11] | Well, we do have eight jurors on our side… | |
| [39:13] | we just need to move those other four. | |
| [39:16] | Well, it’s gonna be tough. | |
| [39:17] | I did some focus group work with them tonight, | |
| [39:20] | and they’re having a really difficult time | |
| [39:22] | reconciling the fact that while they sympathize with Laura, | |
| [39:24] | she knowingly broke the law. | |
| [39:30] | Then our job is to reconcile those feelings for them. | |
| [39:34] | We need to empower them, we need to tell them that… | |
| [39:36] | in so many words, their feelings about this case | |
| [39:39] | matter more than the law. | |
| [39:42] | – That each and… – That each and… | |
| [39:45] | – every one of you… – every one of you | |
| [39:46] | sitting here in front of me, | |
| [39:48] | your opinion matters. | |
| [39:52] | Your opinion matters. | |
| [39:54] | Your opinion matters, | |
| [39:56] | your opinion matters, | |
| [39:58] | and your opinion matters. | |
| [40:01] | Now, II can tell you my opinion. | |
| [40:03] | I believe Ms. Allen did the right thing. | |
| [40:07] | She did the most… responsible, | |
| [40:10] | loving and kind thing | |
| [40:12] | for her patients and for her son. I mean… | |
| [40:15] | think about it. | |
| [40:16] | How could she have done any less? | |
| [40:19] | But… you know what? | |
| [40:23] | My opinion doesn’t matter. | |
| [40:26] | For that matter, the prosecution’s opinion | |
| [40:29] | doesn’t matter. | |
| [40:31] | Now, the prosecution would like for you to think otherwise. | |
| [40:35] | The prosecution would like for you to think | |
| [40:37] | that your opinion doesn’t matter at all. | |
| [40:39] | That the law is the law, and everything else is irrelevant. | |
| [40:43] | But, you know, | |
| [40:44] | let’s talk about the law for a second. | |
| [40:47] | You know, it’s different in New York than it is in Virginia. | |
| [40:50] | And according to the federal government, | |
| [40:52] | the law in New York and 41 other states | |
| [40:55] | is in violation of the law of the land. | |
| [40:59] | So what is the law of the land | |
| [41:01] | if the states can’t agree with it? | |
| [41:04] | So… | |
| [41:06] | clearly, the law is not as cutanddried. | |
| [41:11] | Clearly, that’s why we need your help, | |
| [41:13] | why we need your opinion. | |
| [41:16] | Now, I believe we’ve proven | |
| [41:19] | that the only thing my client did | |
| [41:22] | was do her job to the absolute best of her ability. | |
| [41:26] | Be a mother to the absolute best of her ability. | |
| [41:30] | To administer mercy whenever she saw the opportunity. | |
| [41:34] | Now, if you think that’s a crime, then you know how to vote. | |
| [41:38] | But if you’re like me… | |
| [41:41] | you know, you think that’s something | |
| [41:43] | that should be encouraged in our society… | |
| [41:45] | I just ask that you do one thing today, and that’s just… | |
| [41:49] | do for Laura what she would do for you. | |
| [41:54] | Show her the best care possible. | |
| [41:56] | Thank you. | |
| [42:00] | Has the jury reached a verdict? | |
| [42:02] | We have, Your Honor. | |
| [42:04] | We the jury find the defendant, | |
| [42:06] | Laura Allen… | |
| [42:08] | not guilty. | |
| [42:32] | Yes. | |
| [42:36] | For someone who just lost, you don’t seem terribly upset. | |
| [42:40] | How can I be upset? | |
| [42:43] | The system worked. | |
| [42:44] | It was the outcome that the people wanted. | |
| [42:47] | At least all the people here. | |
| [42:50] | And that’s how it’s supposed to be. | |
| [42:52] | I did my part, you did yours. | |
| [42:56] | Justice was served. | |
| [43:01] | Well, she’s a tough one. | |
| [43:03] | Yeah. | |
| [43:05] | You could tell she was out for blood. | |
| [43:08] | You think so? | |
| [43:09] | Without a doubt. | |

| [45:31] | by morning… | |
| [45:31] | Stupid lights.. | |
| [45:35] | The sky looks amazing. | |
| [45:37] | I look amazing. | |
| [45:38] | I should take a selfie. | |
| [45:40] | Hey, buddy. | |
| [45:42] | Are you gonna wake me up for my 9am meeting? | |
| [45:44] | No way. | |
| [45:47] | Hey Google. | |
| [45:48] | Hi, what can I do for you. | |
| [47:03] | This is Pride. | |
| [47:05] | Deputy Director Sanchez here. | |
| [47:06] | We got a situation. | |
| [47:07] | Do I need to move to a secure phone? | |
| [47:09] | No time. A lieutenant commander was killed. | |
| [47:11] | I need you to report to Belle Chasse | |
| [47:13] | for immediate transport to South America. | |
| [47:16] | Shouldn’t the Southeast Field Office be handling that? | |
| [47:17] | You’ve been personally requested. | |
| [47:19] | You’re authorized to bring two agents with you. | |
| [47:21] | No one else. | |
| [47:23] | Well, all right. Who’s… | |
| [47:24] | Who requested me? Who’s the victim? | |
| [47:26] | It’s classified. | |
| [47:27] | You’ll be read in on arrival. | |
| [47:29] | You’ve got 90 minutes until wheels up. | |
| [47:31] | That is all. | |
| [47:45] | Hello? | |
| [47:47] | Sebastian, sorry to wake you. | |
| [47:48] | Is everything okay? | |
| [47:50] | No, eeveryone’s fine. Listen. | |
| [47:52] | Need to call Sonja, pack your bag and your gear. | |
| [47:56] | We’re headed to South America. | |
| [47:58] | South America? Belle Chasse in 90. | |
| [48:02] | Hey, sorry I’m late. | |
| [48:03] | Sebastian, what the hell? | |
| [48:06] | I know. I know. I overpacked. | |
| [48:07] | II get travel anxiety. | |
| [48:09] | Hello. Forgot one. | |
| [48:12] | Okay. Where’s Sonja? | |
| [48:14] | Is she okay? | |
| [48:16] | Yeah. She had a prior engagement. | |
| [48:17] | It’s 3:15 in the morning. | |
| [48:19] | What kind of prior engagement…? | |
| [48:20] | It’s for tomorrow morning. | |
| [48:21] | That’s all I can say. | |
| [48:22] | What do you mean that’s all you can say? | |
| [48:26] | I wanted Sonja here for a reason. | |
| [48:31] | Ready for you, sir. | |
| [48:35] | Come on. We got a plane to catch. | |
| [48:42] | God. | |
| [49:07] | Special Agent Pride, I’m Colonel Stanley Parker, | |
| [49:11] | commanding officer here at Camp Apache. | |
| [49:13] | Special Agent Gregorio, Forensic Agent Lund. | |
| [49:15] | Where is “here,” Colonel? | |
| [49:17] | Triple Frontier. | |
| [49:18] | Most dangerous place in South America. | |
| [49:20] | Didn’t know we had a base in the Frontier. Officially, we don’t. | |
| [49:22] | I’ll fill you in on the move. It’s not secure | |
| [49:24] | to stay in this area too long. | |
| [49:26] | Wait, wait. Not secure? | |
| [49:28] | Why? ‘Cause… ’cause of, like, snipers? | |
| [49:32] | Come on, Sebastian. | |
| [49:34] | It’s snipers. Okay, that’s fine. | |
| [49:36] | Knew I should have packed camo. | |
| [49:38] | The Triple Frontier is the triborder junction | |
| [49:41] | of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. | |
| [49:43] | No law. No government. | |
| [49:44] | Breeding ground for organized crime, | |
| [49:46] | militias and cartels. | |
| [49:47] | Our mission is drug interdiction. | |
| [49:49] | A JSOC task force comprised of Green Berets, Navy SEALs | |
| [49:52] | and various alphabet agencies. | |
| [49:57] | A lot of military resources | |
| [49:58] | to be thrown at some drug dealers. | |
| [50:00] | We’re not hunting down street pushers, Special Agent Lund. | |
| [50:04] | Our target’s the most wanted man in the Southern Hemisphere. | |
| [50:07] | You’re after Sergio Rivera? | |
| [50:09] | Heavyweight champion of drug lords. | |
| [50:10] | Unified half a dozen cartels to become | |
| [50:12] | one of the biggest players in the trafficking world. | |
| [50:14] | Until his lieutenants staged a coup. | |
| [50:16] | Tried to kill him. | |
| [50:17] | He went into hiding. | |
| [50:19] | For the past two years nobody could find him. | |
| [50:23] | Until last night. | |
| [50:25] | You found him? | |
| [50:27] | We knew he was somewhere in the frontier. | |
| [50:30] | Confirmed his location a few days ago. | |
| [50:32] | Sent in a unit to extract him… alive, if possible. | |
| [50:35] | Walked right into an ambush. | |
| [50:37] | Rivera was wounded. | |
| [50:39] | Unit leader was KIA. | |
| [50:41] | I’m sorry, Colonel. | |
| [50:44] | But where does NCIS fit in? | |
| [50:47] | Dead officer is Lieutenant Commander Daryll Watkins. | |
| [50:50] | Lieutenant Comman… | |
| [50:55] | I know Daryll. | |
| [50:58] | From a lifetime ago. | |
| [51:00] | That why you requested me? | |
| [51:02] | I didn’t request you, Agent Pride, | |
| [51:04] | Commander Watkins did. | |
| [51:09] | I’ve got Rivera. We’ve been compromised. | |
| [51:11] | They were waiting for us. | |
| [51:13] | If something happens to me, | |
| [51:15] | contact Dwayne Pride in NCIS. | |
| [51:17] | Tell him we have a mole. | |
| [51:19] | Come on. |
