(D'Alesandro)
This is my kid, under my protection. (Claggett)
The most critical thing on this
is being prepared for any eventuality,
because failure is unacceptable. Obviously it's a concern that
they have all these weapons. But that's what we do. Hey little baby;
come here. Oh, man, this is bad. [rock music] ♪ ♪ ♪ Adrenaline's running higher. ♪ ♪ Strap the metal
to my back. ♪ ♪ ♪ We're setting up a mock
or simulated entry drill. When you're going in the door, don't pick the first target
you see. <i>It's easy on the first guy.</i> <i>He goes to wherever
he wants to go.</i> Everybody else read
and react off him. Eyes and ears in place! Police! Open the door,
open the door, move! Go, I'm going to
give you instruction. <i>Do what I tell you to do,
okay?</i> I've been on SWAT
for 14 years. I'm on the entry team, which means that
I'm one of the door-kickers. We go inside
and we secure the place. Third guy that gets up there,
go up, move! One of my ancillary jobs
over here is training. I enjoy that aspect of it. I enjoy the teaching aspect
of it. Pull the door like you're
two teams coming together, matin' up with another guy
and going in. 'Cause you never stop learning. We've had guys that have been
over here for 20, 22 years, and they never stop learning. Because there's always
some other challenge that you come across. These shots right here are going
to represent a hostage shot, what we call a 5% shot, to here you're only going to get
a portion of the suspect's head hiding behind a hostage. The most critical thing on this
is to be mentally, physically, and tactically prepared
for any eventuality. It's a warrior spirit. It's a warrior mind-set, and that's what
each one of us has to have. We're talking about
having a team attacking, either here
or if they see a doorway attack in that doorway so we can
hit things from both levels. We just received our information
from the narcotics officers on the intel on this next hit. The suspect that we're
running on here, allegedly, he's a manufacturer and
distributor of methamphetamine. Its street name is speed. And we know this guy's got
a propensity for violence because he's been arrested
on weapons charges. Especially in light of the fact
that we've lost two officers in the area
and then one officer shot in the past three weeks,
we're a little bit sensitive about this issue right now,
so... (Fuller)
The weapons are here,
the knives. (Claggett)
She's--the desk,
it's over the top of the desk, right? He's a speed freak. He's one of those guys
that'll stay up for three days in a row,
doing what they call tweaking. Well, the bad thing about that is it makes them
extremely paranoid, so that's a bad combination
for us. A big concern for us
is there's a lot of trap doors that we've discovered
between the trailer here where he stays
and this large out-building. So we know he's got a trap door
in a back closet. He's done a lot of fortification
underneath his trailer. He's made a lot of adjustments
around the exterior with backhoes and things
like that, so... We're kind of curious
to see what he's done. We can never have too much
intelligence on these things. We're putting Scottie up there
in the helicopter to get some real-time aerial
looks at this thing. (McDonald)
It'll be kind of difficult because we can't get a car
in there. This location is kind of
a rural area, so it'll be real exposed
to drive in to it to get a close-up. These guys are pretty hinked up
right now, so we're gonna try
to keep our distance with the helicopter. One of our main concerns
is that we don't have enough foliage to be able
to put teams covertly behind the location. If he gets out,
he sees anything coming from the front of the road
and it's a pretty good drive into this location, then he could be
on our perimeter. The way it sounds,
especially with the backhoe, he's got
a little underground bunker. We need to rock
this guy's world and take away any fight
that he has, disorient him to the point
where he can't fight. He doesn't have the ability to
fight. Get the dope off the street; get the bad guys off the street
and do it as safely as we can. Nice and tight. I'm a sniper. I've been in SWAT 11 years. My goal in training as a sniper
is to make sure that my rifle and I
function together as one, that I can lay down behind it
every time and feel it the same way. We practice for
the worst-case scenario, that being having
to take a hostage shot. The better snipers
aren't just the ones that are very, very accurate,
but they're the ones that can shoot
under stressful conditions. Our target is actually this eye. That's where I was targeting,
so I'm a little bit left. The heat just today pulled
everything up on me. The heat affects our bullets, and the cold affects
our bullets. Last time we were shooting
out here, it was cold when we were shooting,
remember? And our bullets
were a lot different. I have a daughter named Britney,
who is 17 today. My birthday is one week
from hers, next week. So when she was born,
she was a birthday present. Turned out to be
this gorgeous little girl. Boy, she's the love of my life. She's fantastic. You'll get to meet her tonight.
She's a ball. And she's a beauty. Glad I'm a sniper. It says
possible barricaded person. We're gonna head that way
and get close by so we can deploy as necessary. A burglary occurred
where a number of AK-47 assault type weapons
were taken. They followed the car
to the location. The car is parked
in a separated garage off of the residence. The suspect is supposedly inside
and hasn't been seen leaving. We go down
about two blocks, that's about
two blocks down, <i>and as you approach,
okay, you'll see it.</i> <i>Small door here
but huge window here.</i> (D'Alesandro)
Suspect is wanted
multiple times. He has a lot
of warrants out for him. So the potential
for him being dangerous is a little bit higher. Due to the fact that he does
have all these assault weapons, we'll probably surround
this place, and the negotiators
will call him out. If that doesn't work, then we'll step up the process
and use some gas or other methods
to move it along. Obviously it's a concern that
they have all these weapons. But that's what we do. This is the gun they use
in Iraq. This is the M16 Colt Commando. It comes equipped with a scope, a light mount on it,
and a collapsible stock. It has a magazine
with a 30-round capacity. We use this for entry
or perimeter. We'll be very careful
in how we go up and how we approach it
and what we do. 'Cause I got to go home
and see my little girls tonight. We're not gonna mess that up,
are we? This is the APC:
Armored Personnel Carrier. It's equipped with
a turret up above. Also it has rifle ports on the
side the vehicle. We'll carry an entry team
or a perimeter team up to the location
in a safer manner. <i>[man over loudspeaker]
This is the Dallas Police
Department SWAT team.</i> We have the house
totally surrounded. Anyone inside, come out with
your hands up in the air, and you will not be harmed. [speaking Spanish] Go back in. Go back in.
Lock your gate. We've got guys
on all sides of the house set up as a perimeter, and we've got guys
staged in the neighbor's house watching it also. Got a female peeking out, Sarge,
female peeking out. Ma'am come to me;
come to me. Ma'am, come to me. Come to me! Come here. [speaking Spanish] We're being told that this
suspect may only speak Spanish, so that's going to make it
a little bit more difficult. Come to me! Come to me! Señor. [speaking Spanish] It's okay.
It's okay. One came out
of our suspect's house. The other was in the yard. They say they're the parents
of the suspect. That's the suspect vehicle,
the white one. Possibility he could be
in there too, I guess. The parents say that he's
their son but he's not here, so. We don't know if they have
the need to lie to us, but sometimes a lot of people
don't tell us the truth. Come on.
Come on! [speaking Spanish]
That's okay. <i>[over loudspeaker]
Come out with your hands up
to your right.</i> Over here.
Over here. <i>Do you speak English?</i> <i>Okay.</i> Do we know their ages,
or are we talking about... <i>Three years
and three months.</i> The only problem is,
there's kids in there. Just to catch you up,
three adults came out of the place and they're
claiming that there's a three-year-old
and a three-month old inside. Well, that restricts
certain uses of our... some of the things
in our toolbox. So we'll take out
the flashbangs and the gas, and we'll go to
a more direct approach, maybe breaking some windows,
making some noises. <i>(D'Alesandro)
Hey!
(Johnigan)
Hey, little baby!</i> <i>(D'Alesandro)
Hey little baby,
come here!</i> They got a small child
coming out the Baker side on the other side. <i>(D'Alesandro)
Oh, man, this is bad.</i> <i>Mama's over here.</i> <i>[speaking Spanish]</i> All right, get back on your gun,
back on your gun. That little kid
came out on the porch, and he won't come to us
because he's afraid. He's scared of us. (Houston)
I'm surprised the grandparents
would come out and leave the children
in the house. That's kind of odd. Usually that's the first thing
they'll protect is their children;
they'll bring them out. Yeah. We can get him. But I hate to just
go out there naked. If that AP's coming back, why can't we just
pull that APC up behind that Silverado right there
and we'll pick the kid up ourselves? All right, that sounds good.
We're ready. Move it up, D'Alesandro. (D'Alesandro)
So Kelvin and I
are going to watch the house while the mom gets the baby,
and then we'll move back. As we go up in the APC
in the shield, our concern is making sure
the child is safe, primarily, and secondary is making sure
the guy doesn't shoot us from inside the house. We have to be wary
that we have cover on the house and get the child
at the same time. We got the boy.
He's safe now. He's outside here with us. But there's an infant inside, and we don't know if
the suspect's in there or not. (Sible)
The two-year-old came out. We still have
a seven-month-old in there. But of course we're not sure
if there's anyone else in there, the actual suspect,
so it's looking like we're going to have to slow search it
without being able to use gas,
mainly because of the child being in there, us not knowing
where the child is. Searching the place,
making sure that there's nobody hidden
in the crawl space, nobody hidden under
the floorboards, closets. It would change the whole
situation if he got on and started saying he was going
to say he was going to harm one of the children or take them
hostage or something like that. [speaking Spanish] <i>Qué pasa?</i> <i>Qué pasa?</i> <i>Qué pasa?</i> (Sible)
The investigators
will follow up. Hopefully he left some kind
of evidence at the scene and they'll still be able
to make a case. But he wasn't there at the time. Nobody was hurt. We got to go in
and do what they do, and we'll catch this guy
another day. Is he going to be okay? You okay? Look how cute he is, huh? I'm glad you're all right.
See y'all later. Okay. We're home. Safe and sound. Time to go call my wife
and tell her everything's okay. <i>[woman on telephone]
Hey, honey.</i> Hey, how you doin'? <i>I'm fine.
How did it go?</i> It went well.
Everything's okay. It went like clockwork, babe. I just wanted to give you a call
and tell you I'm all right. <i>All righty, well, then I'll see
you at home late tonight.</i> I love you, baby. It's my daughter Britney's
17th birthday, and to celebrate the occasion,
the three of us-- myself and Britney and her
little sister Gabrielle-- are going to dinner. This is one of Britney's
favorite places, the Mongolian barbecue. It's her 17th birthday. Thank God I'm in SWAT, because she has a lot of guys
calling her. <i>(D'Alesandro)
That's the birthday girl,
17 years old today.</i> On the back of my badge
is a picture of her, what... 18 months old? It's kind of threadbare, but every time I think about
that badge and she's there... And this one I keep in my car. Appreciate it.
It looks great. <i>All right, good hit.</i> I'm always worried that he's
going to, like, come home shot in the chest
or something like that. But he always comes home fine. Boys he's actually been
pretty good about, but I got to be home
at 11:00 every night. I don't know;
he's still a cop. You're not going to be
a police officer, are you? Maybe. What kind
of police officer? SWAT.
Ch-ch-ch-ch. What's "chic, chic" mean? You don't even know. It's a gun!
It's a gun. Dad! Oh, my God! If you want to bring guys
and just breach your windows and go through your hold cover
like a vehicle assault, we could do that. Right now we've received
all the information that we're gonna get
on this case. We got the intel from the
undercover officers in here. We've got our aerial photos. We got our real-time look at
the place from the helicopter. So now we're just breaking up
into different cells and we're getting everybody's
individual and team plans down and assignments down. (Fuller)
I want disruption
to come through here, and I want them to take
containment on this, and I need somebody
to cut off any runners comin' this way from this trailer here. The problem we're gonna have
with this operation right here is containing it. It's going to be
very manpower intensive, so we've got to be able
to attack all the objectives we need to attack
and secure it because we know the guy's a tunnel rat. We know he's going to try
and squeeze his way out of here. The thing we want to avoid
is him being able to get to a position where he can
defend himself and arm himself. It's a warrant for
methamphetamines. <i>Our primary suspect:</i> He's 5'8, soaking wet 150 pounds
probably, at best. <i>He's your speed freak.</i> <i>There's a good chance
he hasn't slept for days,</i> or if he crashes, then he could
be asleep the whole entire time. (Claggett)
My assignment on this
is gonna be, I'm basically one of
the entry team numbers. It's probably one
of the easier jobs on this because I've got
a real definitive, a real definitive goal:
just go inside and secure it. Just be advised that inside
this bedroom, as soon as you
come through the door, on the wall he's got, like,
swords, throwing stars, knives. <i>Also, there has been
some communication</i> <i>with informants in the past</i> <i>that he's interested
in explosives.</i> With that being said, I want you to understand
the guys that are searching. Be very careful what
you're knocking over and throwing around this house, because you don't know if
he's set up a booby trap inside. Our potential for compromise
is huge on this. So we're going to try to sneak
up along on the tree lines on this and see if we can't get
on top of them before they even know
we're there. Let's move out
to our target pretty quick, <i>because we don't want to waste
any daylight.</i> (Claggett)
The biggest fear
that any tactical operator has is not being able to perform
and resulting in team failure. Because failure is unacceptable. And it has to be unacceptable
because there's so much that hangs in the balance
if we do fail. Three dogs. <i>You hear the dogs?</i> Rottweiler
and a couple of other dogs that are at the location. People out front. People at this car! We got somebody
in the car. (Claggett)
Stay to the left guys.
Stay to the left. Police!
Hands up! [shouting] These guys are
your white supremacist group. You know, you go inside,
and there's swastikas hanging everywhere,
rebel flags hanging everywhere. (Lancaster)
Well, we got the main suspect. There's a lot of paraphernalia
in there where they've been cooking dope. The primary search is done. We're still doing
some secondary, some crawlspaces,
under the trailer. We're just kinda looking in nooks and crannies
to see what we can find. (Claggett)
This is kind of unique
in the fact that the guy was actually building a bunker. It's steel-reinforced
concrete walls. The reason they do it
is so they have someplace to go hide from the cops. You know, if they-- your survivalists
and your white supremacists are all kind of the same type. They basically feel like no one
should be able to touch them. So that's, I think, why they
build these type of fortifications. They could be in this
for a long time depending on what kind
of staples they have inside. You have to use a lot of water
in your lab, your meth cooks. Here it looks like he's running, he's running
a separate water heater. Strange gigs. To be honest with you,
it may look trashy and it may look disorganized, but I guarantee you he knows
each and every dope hole he's got in this place. He knows where
all of his guns are stashed. So much of it is probably going
to be buried out here, so the chance of us
finding a lot of his staples are minimal. We're just happy
to arrest these guys and get them off the street. The potential for this thing
in another year to be a force to be reckoned
with is very likely. Pills. New scales. Police scanners. And they had a bunch
of needles. As long as we can maintain
the superior manpower, superior firepower,
superior tactics against these guys, you know,
we're gonna win the battle. Hey, baby, you having fun? Okay, Dad's still working
for a little while, all right? Like two more hours and then
I'll call you, okay? All right, angel, I love you. Bye-bye. This warrant we're about
to execute is allegedly a crackhouse. It's a real active house. <i>(officer)
We had two CI buys
of crack-cocaine</i> <i>at this location.</i> What they're stating is the
suspect went to the back room to get the crack cocaine
and came back to serve the CI. (Emberlin)
If they're cooking it, you know your suspects
are going to be there. Somebody's got to watch the cook
while the other guy sells. (Fuller)
It's a stone brick house
with dark green trim around it. <i>Our primary entry point
is here on the alpha 3 door.</i> Alternate is a charlie 1. You have a driveway
that runs along here. You got
a delta 1, 2, 3 and 4 window. (Emberlin)
The plan of attack
is to send alpha team to the front side of the house;
that's my squad. And a charlie team
to the back side, and we're going to breach
both doors and we'll hook up with them on the inside
at a linkup point. (Fuller)
Anybody else have anything
they want to say? If not, let's go to work. (Emberlin)
The thing that stands out to me
as a danger signal is it just looks like
your run-of-the mill hit-the-door-and-go-in
type deal. And those always scare me,
because I'm afraid guys are going
to get complacent. Right turn! Third house down on the right. Police! Police! <i>Put your hands
on top of your head.</i> <i>Anybody else inside this house?</i> Comin' up behind you, slojack. Two alleged drug dealers
in there cooking crack and being the guardian
of what looks to be about an eight-year-old
little boy. Kid's scared to death. You okay? Loud in there? Scare ya?
One tough guy. We'll take you on our team
anytime, you got that? <i>You hang in there.</i> He ran from
the front door, chucked that pistol
into that closet, grabbed the kid, and laid down. Said he was going to
protect his son. I was like, you want
to protect your son, stand at the front door and go,
"My kid's inside." He's laying on the floor
and he had the kid like this. But he wasn't covering
the kid up like you'd expect an adult to do. What'd y'all find
in there, man? We got crack cocaine,
.45-caliber handgun. You definitely have
a very tough grandson. <i>He's very impressive.</i> Call me in, like, 15 years
when you need a job, okay? I got on for you, lined up.
All right? There are two narcotics warrants
in the same apartment complex. We're going to hit them both
at the same time. We're going after
suspected drug dealers. This location has
an incidence of high gang activity and drug activity. I think Misty and Tim are going
to get in an unmarked van and go by and look at
the location and see what kind of information
we can gather. (Vancuren)
We're gonna get inside
this covert van, which is an unmarked van. It looks just like
your regular old good-times van. The van has covered windows. You can't see inside,
but we can see out, and we're gonna actually
drive by the warrant location and take a look. (D'Alesandro)
What do you say,
stop short of that building right there? It's important that
we're in a covert mode. We don't want to alert
any of the suspects as to any unusual activity
out in their area. That way, we don't risk losing
our greatest asset, and that is surprise. It looked like
a good drug house. He was actually selling
when we drove by. We're hitting an upstairs
and a downstairs. It didn't look like
the doors were barricaded. It's really busy. Approaching it may be difficult. (D'Alesandro)
Also, one of the guys is going
to go up in the helicopter and grab some digital photos
of our location and make sure that
the way we go in is the best way. And we look at
possible exit points for the suspects. (officer)
We can stop right here
and be here for awhile. If you take that APC
and pulled it off here. (D'Alesandro)
Right now we're going
to have a briefing for a drug warrant,
a simultaneous hit. There are two warrants
in the one apartment complex. One is a stash house,
or the house they sell from, and the other is the smoke house
where they go and smoke it. We're going to
hit 'em at the same time. <i>(officer)
Be advised, you might confront
a whole bunch of people.</i> <i>That's Big Boy; that's the guy
I've been buying dope from.</i> <i>(officer)
204's supposed to be
a stash house too.</i> That's where they'll stash
gang members, and Homicide's looking
for a suspect inside the location. <i>(officer)
The 80s are going to
lead up in an APC.</i> Chris D'Alesandro's
going to drive that. To the bottom of that stairs. You'll be
in this lead vehicle. Make sure we get there,
all right? All right. My assignment on this
is to drive the Armored Personnel Carrier and provide perimeter protection
for the entry teams as they make their entry. If I understand you, you're asking whether we want
to pop those windows with something
other than gas first? The reasoning for hitting
these places simultaneous is we can control the evidence;
we can control the suspects. If we were to hit one and go
to the next one, the potential for losing
the evidence and losing the suspects
is greater. It's going to be
a little bit more difficult, 'cause things'll be happening in
multiple places. That separates your forces
right there. Today's warrant,
we will probably deploy anywhere from two to four of these. This is a flashbang,
a diversionary device. We use this
as a form of distraction, entering hazardous locations. The pin is towards you. You pull the pin out, and you toss in an underhand
motion through the window. The flash itself and the noise
are what make this work. People of Dallas,
get off the road. I'm driving
this big old piece of metal. We typically don't take the Armored Personnel Carrier
on warrants. However,
this is a simultaneous warrant. We'll pull the APC
in the courtyard. This might be
the last point of cover we have when we go
on this hazardous warrant. They're running,
they're all running. [shouting commands] Yeah, the flashbang landed
on the couch and started a fire. It's an incendiary device.
That happens. Everybody all right? Got another one walking! (D'Alesandro)
All these people in an apartment
that's probably only maybe 200 square feet. (Byas)
12 people in
a one-bedroom apartment. They were
all over the place inside. I understand that they found
a weapon or two, found some rock, rock cocaine,
crack. Found some marijuana,
got plenty of suspects that were listed on the warrant
out of there. That's a Remington .870 shotgun. It's a typical of the ones
the police officers use. Be glad that they weren't able
to use that on us going through the door. It's a devastating weapon. And until we figure out
who's who, nobody's leaving. If you talk again,
you will end up face down on the ground. (D'Alesandro)
We'll keep an eye on them. Once Narcotics gets
a hold of them, talks to them, and then we'll decide who gets
to go and who gets to stay. These guys knocked it quick,
hit it fast. Broke the windows,
surprise was in our favor, and took it down very quickly. It was a good warrant. I'm done with work,
and my daughter Britney, my 17 year-old,
is at Top Hat Dancing. And I'm gonna go see her dance. (man)
6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. And 1, 2.
5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4. I tell you what,
for the beginning of learning a dance,
they're doing very well. You know what? For years, I've been up
that high, but I had a line attached to me
and some rappel gear. She's up that high
on the strength of his right arm and her balance. Britney and Keith,
they're running their new dance. Keith's a very good dancer. They make great partners
in dance. They happen to be
boyfriend and girlfriend too. It's good. I've probably known him
four years, five years. He's a good kid,
a good young man. <i>Keith, does it bother you
when I sit here and watch you?</i> No.<i>
No?</i> <i>Who would you rather have
sitting here: my wife or me?</i> Ooh.<i>
Ooh.</i> <i>(man)
6, 7, 8.</i> 1, 2, 3, 4... (D'Alesandro)
You know, I do like Keith. Keith knows the rules. The way she leaves
is the way she returns. And that's the way
she comes back. Hey, Keith,
is this the money you owe me
for dating my daughter? Just checking. I'm a sniper. And I have a big gun. And, uh, Keith often asks me
about some of the things I do. I don't tell him much other than
I practice a lot from 100 yards. He says,
"Oh, that's not a good thing." I say, "Oh it's fine
for you, Keith. You're a perfect gentleman.
Don't worry about it." And then smile. Yeah and be home. Bring her home the
same way you took her, right? You know what time
you have to be home. Yes.
All right,
I'll see you guys later. (Claggett)
It's a tragic event
in New Orleans. We're very fortunate
we're in a position where we can help the people
that are down there and provide some assistance
for all the people that have lost their homes
and their families down there. The majority of these people
are good, honest, hardworking people that just
caught up in a bad situation. But the nature
of the beast being that there's bad guys
amongst them. A lot of their gang members
moved up here and they've got kind of
a little turf war going on right now over the drug trade. From what I understand,
based on the intelligence that we have, the penitentiaries
and the prisons down there, when they started filling up
with water, they were forced
to just evacuate 'em. They opened up the doors
and let 'em all go. They ended up sifting out
into the major cities. We know right now based on good,
credible intelligence that we've got a major faction
of it up here in Dallas. Tomorrow we're going to run
a warrant on an apartment that FEMA has rented for some
of the New Orleans refugees. The complex itself
has been well known for drug trafficking,
but now we have the added problem
of some of the drug dealers from Louisiana
and New Orleans area, some of the displaced refugees
coming in here and slinging dope too, so it's gonna add
a little different edge to it. <i>(Fuller)
The section that we're hitting
on this warrant, FEMA owns it.</i> So these occupants
in this facility here are your evacuees
from Louisiana. <i>Their mind-set</i> may be different than what
we're used to encountering. For this particular operation, because they're so many folks
and so many facets involved, we're going hit it real early
in the morning, catch 'em by surprise hopefully. We feel pretty good
about hitting it this time of the day that we'll be able
to catch 'em off guard. We're fixin' to hit this place
at 5:30 in the morning. <i>That's a concern for me,</i> <i>because these are
aggressive actors.</i> Their instinct may be
to defend themselves, and that's a problem. (Claggett)
The ideal scenario
on this is that everyone inside gives up. They're compliant
with our demands. No one gets hurt
and we all go home safe. We want to get
the dope off the street. We want to get any weapons
off the street, and we want the bad guys to go
to jail; it's just that simple. Narcotics says there's always
a guy sitting here behind the door on the couch,
5'8", 300 pounds this guy. So as that door opens,
he says you can't see it. You have to physically
poke your head here. He expects most of our people
to be in the living room. Okay. We don't know
a lot about these guys. We don't know how many people
are going to be inside. We've heard everything
from 4 to 12. <i>A minute and a half out.</i> We're definitely going to hit it
with everything we've got. Worst case scenario is, we get compromised
and we have a big shootout. We want to avoid that
at all costs. Looks dark. We got people up top. Compromise, compromise,
compromise! Put your hands up! Don't move, don't move! Get on the ground! Hands on your heads.
Hands on your heads. As long as you do
what you're told, it'll be an easy day. We found 11 bodies inside. It was a good operation. We were able to secure everybody without any incident,
which is always a good thing. We compromised on the way up by the suspects looking out
the door. You'd think everybody
would be asleep at 6:00, but all 11 of 'em
were awake watching TV. <i>It ain't bedtime, yet.</i> <i>(Emberlin)
That's right.</i> We don't know as far
as evidence is concerned yet. Narcotics will do a sweep on it
in a minute. We generally have a pretty good
working relationship with our Narcotics division. They're capable of running
their own warrants, but they call us up if it's kind
of manpower intensive or if there are certain
circumstances that don't allow them to run heavily fortified,
heavily armed, stuff like that. Then, generally,
they'll give us a call on that. This was a fun warrant. I mean, anytime you
have to integrate a lot of assets like we did here and coordinate 'em,
it's a good thing. (Emberlin)
What we found inside was
as soon as the door came open, was bodies going
every direction. There was 11 people inside
a 500 square foot apartment, so it was pretty tight
once we got in there with 'em. There's some big boys
in there too. (Claggett)
With the suspects,
we'll have to ID who was where. Like this woman right here. I believe she is the kingpin
of the operation. Was that you?
No. You're not the kingpin? [unintelligible] What'd y'all find
in your search? Just one small baggie
of weed, and the suspect has been selling
to the undercover officer, so we've got several warrants
on him, so he is going to jail. It didn't go like we planned, but rarely do they ever go
like you planned. That's where you just have to be
able to adapt and overcome. And that's the big secret
to SWAT: being able to adjust. Hey, Dad? <i>(D'Alesandro)
Yo.</i> I just got off the phone
with Keith and he's gonna be here
in probably 5 to 10 minutes. Is it okay if we go to a movie and then afterwards,
probably get something to eat? Yeah, what time's
the movie? With Britney leaving,
it's constantly on my mind that she's going away
to college. That we're at one of those
transition periods. When she was born,
I guess it was the second day, just grabbed her,
and I tossed her up into the air about two feet,
and my wife about died. And looks at me and said,
"What are you doing?" And I said this is my kid,
this is... She'll always be
under my protection. <i>Hi, Keith.
(Keith)
How you doing?</i> <i>Good, how's everything
going?</i>
It's going good. <i>You guys going to
the movies tonight?</i>
Yeah. Yeah, I'm nervous about her
having a boyfriend. She's still young. However, as much as you can
trust a guy with your daughter, I guess he's a pretty good guy. Bye. See ya. Drive safe, Keith. Sure will. You know what, there's no more
telling her what to do. We've got to trust
that we did the right thing in how we raised 'em. She'll live
with whatever decision that she makes. It'll probably be about
schoolwork and college. It'll be about boys. I kind of have to bite my tongue and just let her
make the decision. Bye, Daddy! <i>(D'Alesandro)
Bye, honey.</i> Bye, Gab. (D'Alesandro)
Chances are, she'll make most
of them correctly.
